Ever since it bounced above the $19 support levels late last month, Chainlink has been on the rise. It is likely to break out because it currently trades within a brief but declining parallel channel.
LINK Keeps Moving
After attaining a new peak price of $54 on May 10, LINK has been on a decline. It declined to a new low of $16 late last but that low was brief and it bounced out of it almost immediately.
This decline proved the validity of the $19 support levels. The $34 area served as a resistance for LINK and it touched during that bounce period which was the reason for the long upper wick displayed in the chart. This long upper wick is its 0.5 Fibonacci retracement level.
However, technical indicators show a bearish trend despite this bounce. There is a bearish cross on the stochastic oscillator, the relative strength index (RSI) is not up to 50 and the moving average convergence divergence (MACD) is now in the negative region.

LINK’s Bounce Continues
There is a bullish trend on the daily chart. Here, there is a bullish divergence on the MACD and RSI, while the stochastic oscillator is about to make a bullish cross. Hence, LINK now has a higher low. The $36 area indicates a horizontal resistance which further validates the Fibonacci resistance as discussed in the previous section.

The short-term two-hour chart indicates a declining parallel channel and has been that way since May 26. LINK created the lower highs mentioned above by bouncing at the channel’s support line three days ago.
Two factors make a breakout likely:
- the short-term indicators are bullish and
- there are always corrective movements in any parallel channel

A Wave Pullback Is Possible

The movement is similar to an A-B-C structure where the movement within the channel contains a B wave. This b wave movement will be confirmed when LINK breaks out from this channel.
Once this breakout occurs, LINK would likely attain the $41 target. Therefore, waves A and C would be in a 1:1 ratio while LINK will touch the resistance area of a parallel line drawn across the troughs of waves A and B (the white lines in the image below).
