The 4-hour chart showed a bearish order block at the $6.2 zone, highlighted in red. On 7 September, Chainlink prices climbed past this zone and retested it as support, flipping it to a bullish breaker block. However, the bulls were unable to drive further gains, and the sell pressure of the past few weeks forced LINK beneath $6.2.
The RSI declined steadily over the past few days, showing a shift in momentum toward bearishness. The market structure was also bearish after the move below $6.14 on 9 September. The OBV, which saw a bounce alongside the prices last week, was trending lower.
The price action and indicators support the idea that LINK would face more losses. To the south, the $5.7 and $5 are the next levels of significance from the higher timeframe price charts. We will likely see a move to these support levels in the coming days and weeks.

The spot CVD was also in a steady downtrend over the past week. It indicated selling pressure in the Chainlink spot market and was a sign that buyers were weak.
Therefore, traders can expect a bearish continuation for LINK. Bitcoin [BTC] volatility could see a short-term bounce, but this might not result in a bullish reversal.
