LINK/USD Daily ChartAs seen on the daily chart, LINK has lost steam after hitting a barrier on its way to $13. Selling pressure keeps mounting which can drive Chainlink down to the next support area between $10.05 and $10.91. On the 24 hour timeframe, bears have emerged which may signal a downtrend. The RSI reinforces the bearish outlook as it slides to the midline.
On the other hand, if a bullish reversal occurs, LINK could climb past $12 to mark a breach above $13 which would ultimately push LINK up to $15. After hitting a yearly high of $20 on 16th August, LINK price has since charted a series of lower highs and lower lows. To lead it back towards its $20 all-time highs, bulls must shatter the resistance sitting at $13.00.
LINK/USD 4-Hour ChartOn the 4-hour chart, a sell signal is presented. The significant resistance it faced at $12.97 sparked a sharp selloff beneath its 4-hour MA 50.

Failure to reclaim the $12 level could provoke another downside attack beneath the 4 hour MA 200 support barrier. The LINK/USD pair is only bullish while trading above the $12.01 level, key resistance is found at the $13.50 and the $15 levels. If the LINK/USD pair trades below the $11, sellers may test the $10 and $9.20 support levels.
