In the early hours, with the bullish power, LINK climbed to a daily high range of $24.88. Later, the asset began to slip as the bears took command, to its low of around $23.41. Breaking through the resistances between $23.46 and $24.48, at the time of writing, Chainlink traded within the $24.53 range

Is the Downtrend Here to Stay for Chainlink?

While assuming the downtrend to reinforce, the Chainlink price might drop and test the immediate support at the $24.46 mark. A decisive breakdown below this range could send the asset toward $24.39 or lower, with the death cross formation. On the upside, the asset might propel the price up, setting a stage for finding the initial resistance at $24.60. With the stable bullish price trajectory, Chainlink could likely climb to the subsequent resistance at $24.67

*LINK chart (Source: TradingView)*Chainlink’s Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) line is settled below the signal line, pointing at the bearish outlook. It may push the price more into the weak phase. Besides, the Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) indicator positioned at 0.01 is close to neutral, but slightly positive. It hints at light buying pressure, and the inflows are just way stronger than outflows. The LINK market is not showing a strong direction from either buyers or sellers

Moreover, the asset is in the neutral zone, with the daily Relative Strength Index (RSI) found at 54.20. The LINK momentum is slightly tilted toward the bullish side, but not strong enough to indicate an uptrend—neither overbought nor oversold. Chainlink’s Bull Bear Power (BBP) value of 0.14 is slightly positive, suggesting that the bulls have an edge over bears, but the strength is weak. Also, the price action may be showing an early bullish pressure.
