Chainlink (LINK) Eyes Recovery: Will Bulls Defend the $17 Support for a Breakout?

Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

Chainlink (LINK) is showing signs of stabilization after falling to $17.30, but buying momentum remains weak as broader market fear, uncertainty, and doubt (FUD) continue to cloud sentiment. Despite this, LINK has managed to resist a deeper correction, distinguishing itself from other high-cap cryptocurrencies.

Dip-Buying Signals Potential Strength

One of the key indicators supporting a potential turnaround is LINK’s declining exchange supply, which has hit a monthly low. This suggests that investors are withdrawing their tokens, reducing sell pressure, and possibly setting the stage for a bullish breakout. Additionally, net exchange flows highlight a rise in retail accumulation, with 2.2 million LINK withdrawn at $17.80, triggering a modest 1.45% rebound.

If this trend continues, the $17–$18 range could solidify as a strong support zone. A sustained recovery at these levels may drive renewed FOMO (fear of missing out), potentially strengthening LINK’s position against Bitcoin (LINK/BTC) and pushing it toward a bullish trend.

Will LINK Reclaim $19 and Beyond?

Technical indicators suggest that a rebound toward the critical $19 resistance level is plausible. However, sustaining momentum above this level will be the true test for LINK’s recovery.

Notably, over the past 24 hours, long liquidations have outpaced shorts by a staggering 8x. This indicates that futures traders are closing positions, adding temporary downward pressure on LINK’s price. At the same time, Open Interest (OI) has dipped by 1.65%, suggesting a potential reduction in speculative trading. If this trend persists, it could pave the way for a more stable uptrend rather than volatile price swings.

Key Levels to Watch

The coming days will be crucial for LINK. If speculation continues to dominate, a retracement toward $15 is possible. However, if LINK maintains support at current levels and buying momentum strengthens, a breakout beyond $21 could be within reach.
