LINK price rises 5% in 24 hours: Is a $34 prediction viable?
A bullish pattern was formed on Chainlink’s chart, suggesting a possible price uptick.
- LINK was up by more than 5% in the 24 hours.
- Buying pressure was high, and most indicators looked bullish.
The year 2024 began on a good note for multiple cryptos, and Chainlink [LINK] was one of them. Notably, a bullish pattern formed on Chainlink’s chart, suggesting an increased possibility of a bull rally.
Are the Chainlink bulls here?
In the last 24 hours, Link’s price surged by more than 5%. According to CoinMarketCap, at the time of writing, LINK was trading at $15.83 with a market capitalization of over $8.9 billion.
Amidst that, Ali, a popular crypto analyst, pointed out a bullish pennant pattern being formed on Chainlink’s chart.
#Chainlink shows signs of a bull pennant formation. A decisive close above $17.2 could be the catalyst for a breakout, potentially propelling $LINK toward $34.

If LINK managed to go above the resistance level at $17.2, its price might soon touch $34. However, if that does not happen, then investors must also keep an eye on the $14.2 level, as if LINK falls below it, its value might plummet further.
To check whether this was true, AMBCrypto had a look at LINK’s liquidation heatmap. Our analysis revealed that LINK does face a key resistance zone near $17.
Apart from that, two other levels of whether LINK might witness high liquidations again were near $15.7 and $15.

Its Money Flow Index (MFI) also followed a similar route, increasing the chances of a continued northward price movement over the days to come.
However, the Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) flashed concerning signals, as it went down during this period. Considering the aforementioned metrics and indicators, it will be interesting to see whether Chainlink reaches $34 anytime soon.
