The Chainlink [LINK] market has been moving to its own tune. The Bitcoin market has had only a marginal impact on the standing of the coin. After moving within a restricted range the value of LINK has broken down and has been trading at $11.72, at press time. However, the fall has given rise to a bearishness which may further push the price of the digital asset down.

Chainlink one-hour chart 

The above chart of LINK indicated the value to be restrained between $11.97 and $12.78. Although the price surged on 27 December, the value quickly retraced to this level and has now been breaking down from the level. There have been various support levels going down and the selling pressure indicates that LINK may not be able to find support at the current $11.70 level.

Reasoning 

The price has been trading at the $11.70 level currently but according to the Relative Strength Index, it has been approaching the oversold zone. Its current value has been close to 35 and was still facing lower, indicating a prominent bearishness in the market.

Whereas the Chaikin Money Flow has been noting that money has been flowing out of the LINK market as it broke down from the $11.97 price level. Although the indicator is noting a spike upwards, it has a long way to recover from the negative zone.
