On January 14, the LINK price validated the previous resistance line and has increased by more than 20% since.
The upward move marked an end to a 53-day downward trend, in which the LINK price decreased by 35%. The price has moved above some minor resistance areas, as outlined by Bitcoin and altcoin trader Euro Sniper (@TheEuroSniper), who posted a LINK price chart in which the price is following a parabola. The next target outlined is given at 32,500 satoshis. Will the LINK price get there? Let’s take a closer look and find out.

Parabola

The LINK chart has been following a parabola for almost the entirety of its price history, since December 2017. The main resistance area is found at 35,000 satoshis. The price has failed to reach a weekly close above this area until now. Once the price has reached it, it has created long upper wicks and decreased, most recently in November 2019. The ensuing price decrease caused LINK to reach the parabola at the beginning of 2020 and the price has been increasing since. We successfully predicted this price increase in our previous article.

Resistance Validation

The price had been following a descending resistance line since November 4. On January 9, the price broke out and returned to validate the resistance line on January 13. The price has been increasing since. The bounce on the resistance line coincided with the 200-day moving average (MA). In addition, the recent upward movement has caused the price to increase above the 100-day one, amidst a bullish engulfing candlestick. A retest of the MA and validation as support would be a major bullish development. LINK Daily The closest minor resistance and support areas are found at 31,500 and 29,000 satoshis. A common movement would be a retest of the 29,000 area (100-day MA), followed by an eventual breakout above resistance, with a target of 35,000 satoshis. LINK Consolidation

LINK Future Movement

Looking at the long-term chart, based on the fib levels from the previous decrease, a likely target for a possible breakout is given at 58,000 satoshis. This is to be expected, based on the parabolic rate of increase and possible ascending triangle created along with the resistance area at 35,000 satoshis. In our previous article, the stop loss was placed at 22,000 satoshis, but we have moved it upward at 24,000 since the parabola is ascending. This is done in order to prevent significant losses in case the price breaks down from the parabola, even if we think that is unlikely. LINK Future Movement To conclude, the LINK price broke out above a descending resistance line in place since November 2019. It has been increasing since and we believe it will soon make another attempt at breaking out above the 35,000 satoshi resistance area.
