Chainlink Breaks Down From Its Pattern — What’s Next?

ChainLink (LINK) is a decentralized oracle network that is built on Ethereum which aims to solve the problem of interoperability through a decentralized oracle network. Its design allows it to connect data sources that are found off-chain to on-chain smart contracts. It works best with bank payments, APIs and data feeds. The LINK price has decreased by roughly 20 percent in the past six days. The decrease was also predicted in our previous article using the Wyckoff method. Cryptocurrency analyst and trader @scottmelker alluded to his previous prediction of the wedge breakdown — suggesting that it was the bearish divergence that initiated it.

The ascending wedge has broken down. The idea of the ascending triangle (which I said was not there) is clearly invalidated. I had to block a few rude people over this chart, so much emotion tied to this coin. This is an unbiased view. pic.twitter.com/4PIaHHqaM4

Let’s take a closer look at the Chainlink price movement and see if LINK will eventually initiate a reversal.

Chainlink’s Wedge Breakdown

The Chainlink price began trading inside an ascending wedge on October 9. After reaching a high of $3.21 on November 14, it began the current downward move which caused it to break down from the wedge. However, the breakdown occurred with low volume, signaling that it does not have a lot of strength. The closest support areas are found at $2.30 and $2.00.

Moving Averages

Incorporating the daily moving averages (MA) suggests that we are in an uptrend. The Chainlink price has currently found support above the 50-day MA, which has previously made a bullish cross with the 100-day one. Due to the low volume on the breakdown and the 50-day MA support, it is possible that the LINK price increases in order to validate the previous support line before continuing its downward move towards the support areas. To conclude, the LINK price has likely begun a correction — which, judging by the length of the wedge, should take around one month to be completed.
