LINK is unable to break out past $7.6 but it could just be a matter of time

Over the past month, Chainlink has traded within the $6.85 and $7.6 levels of support and resistance. This indicated range-bound price action on lower timeframes. An analysis of the one-day chart showed that the past month’s range came after a period of significant volatility in late February and early March.

The market structure can be interpreted in two ways. The more aggressive approach indicated that Chainlink has a bullish bias on the daily timeframe after breaking out past the $7 level in March. However, bulls must be cautious. The reaction from the imbalance at $7.1 saw LINK bounce to $7.6 on 5 April.

Since then, Chainlink bears have clawed back those gains, which suggested that sellers were likely to force prices beneath the $7 mark soon. The RSI was at 48 and showed neutral momentum.
