Bearish Close as Volatility Pressures Price Action
As noted by analyst CRYPTOWZRD in the latest X post, LINK bears are gaining further strength amid volatility, with the LINK/USDT and LINK/BTC trading pairs seeing price fluctuations.
At the moment, the LINK token is trading in the proximity of $9.50 resistance zone. A breakout above this price barrier could facilitate a rally towards $12. On the other hand, failure to maintain support zones could increase downside risk, with $7.30 acting as the next important level if selling continues.
Chainlink Price Intraday Support at $8.95 Remains Critical
On the one hand, from the intraday perspective, price movements continue to lack stability. However, at the moment, price is supported by the level of $8.95. Once broken, this point will result in further pressure exerted downwards, whereas a return above $9.65 will imply a possible recovery.
The four-hour chart presents a structure in the context of shorting the LINK/USD pair. An entry into the trade will happen at a region around $10.61, which will involve a stop-loss placement at $11.13, and staged targets extending down toward $9.81, $9.20, and $8.29.
The structure reflects a gradual exit plan, where portions of exposure are reduced as each target is reached, while protective levels are adjusted to manage risk.
