Chainlink traded within $9.45 to $5.62 for around eight months, since May. Over the past couple of days, prices descended to the lows of the range. This showed a low-risk, high-reward trade opportunity.

Optimistic bulls could also hope for a retest of the range highs, but that could require Bitcoin [BTC] to break out above the $18.6k mark.

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) stood at 37.8 to show strong bearish momentum.
