Chainlink (LINK) Up 11% Weekly, But DMI Signals Bearish Shift—Will $15.79 Support Hold?

ChainLink LINK

Chainlink (LINK) has shown little movement over the past 24 hours, maintaining a market cap of $10.3 billion. Meanwhile, Pi Network stands at approximately $12.7 billion. As several technical indicators reach critical levels, the coming days will be pivotal in determining whether LINK continues its rally or faces a correction.

DMI Signals Bearish Shift for LINK

Chainlink’s Directional Movement Index (DMI) suggests that sellers have taken control. The Average Directional Index (ADX), a measure of trend strength, has declined from 26 to 20.46, indicating a weakening trend. Typically, an ADX above 25 signals a strong trend, while a drop toward 20 suggests a loss of momentum.

Additionally, the Positive Directional Indicator (+DI) has dropped sharply from 33.3 to 20.1, while the Negative Directional Indicator (-DI) has risen from 14.2 to 21. This crossover suggests a potential shift from bullish to bearish momentum. If ADX falls below 20, LINK could enter a consolidation phase rather than continue its upward trajectory.

BBTrend Turns Positive, Hinting at Bullish Momentum

Despite the bearish signals from the DMI, LINK’s Bollinger Bands Trend (BBTrend) has turned positive, reaching 3.69 after staying in negative territory since March 4. Previously, the indicator recorded a low of -20 on February 28.

BBTrend measures price movements relative to Bollinger Bands, and a positive reading indicates growing bullish momentum. While the shift to positive territory is a promising sign, the modest value suggests that bullish momentum is still developing rather than firmly established.

Can LINK Reclaim $20 in March?

LINK’s Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) are currently trending downward, raising concerns about a potential death cross. A break below the $15.79 support level could lead to further declines, with possible tests of $14 and $13.45.

Conversely, if LINK gains traction and surpasses the $17.64 resistance level, it could target $19.79 and even $22.31. A stronger rally might push LINK past $25, a level not seen in over a month.
