Chainlink (LINK/USD) can possibly reach the 25 area over the next week or two but the move will require Bitcoin to rally as well. It may not be obvious, but on the average, the alt coin space still follows the Bitcoin lead.
There was a recent buy signal around the 15.25 area and now price appears to be hesitating off the 18 area resistance. This type of price action is not unusual since it is possible that it can be unfolding into a Wave 4 consolidation. These are often NOT simple corrective patterns and can probe as low as the high of Wave 1, and still maintain a broader bullish outlook.
For our purposes, we would measure risk from the 12.85 area support, meaning if price closes below that, it is probably a good idea to limit risk or exit a losing trade and wait for a new buy signal. As long as price maintains stability between 12.85 and the 18, it can develop into the Wave 4 consolidation which often leads to trend continuation or Wave 5.
Based on a price projection measured from the current bullish structure in play, the 25 level appears to be the next proportional inflection point. This means if it breaks out, it would be a good idea to distribute targets between the 20 and 25 area.
