Short

CAPITALCOM:LINKUSD   ChainLink
Since June2022 chainlink is in accumulation bearish zone. The Resistance(S.Chart) has been tested 5 times, where the sellers pushed down the market,with increased bearish volumes.

A break down oof the channel has more probablitiy as the bearish volume in the southern areas is increasing(I have marked them for you with red arrows)

The market collapsed after the gap down on may2022. A break above 8,50 can push chainlink to higher area with the first target to fill the gap.(S. green arrows) and Bullish scenario.


A Break down of the channel could continue to below 1$(See Bearish target 0,28-0,40).


The bullish outlook will be invalidated upon a decisive daily candlestick close below $5.73


An increase in buying pressure from the current level could see LINK shatter above the $6.96 resistance level, flipping all the key EMA resistance levels into support and using them to jump off base to target new highs.

In such a case, a crucial supply zone presents an opportunity for LINK holders to sell at a premium value. A supply zone trading strategy uses the price returning to the highlighted zone as an exit criterion. As such, traders should watch for a retest of the zone marked in blue to sell their LINK holdings. It marks the distribution phase of Wykoff’s classic schematic of market action characterized by accumulation, distribution, and redistribution spaces.

According to Wykoff, these phases are the handiwork of ‘whales’ and big institutions like smart money hedging their funds in the market. Once Chainlink price tags the supply zone, investors should expect a pullback, making time an important factor in avoiding the load-shedding exercise.

The recommended stop-loss level where traders and investors can lock in profits while avoiding any losses is the lower boundary of the supply zone at around $8.17. Such a moe would constitute a 30% rise from the current level.


On the other hand, an increase and sustained bullish momentum could turn what now presents as a supply zone into a breaker, providing an opportunity for Chainlink price to ascend and collect liquidity above the November highs of around $9.00.


Comment:
The Fed meets next week and expectations of another rate increase are rising, particularly given the growing hopes the U.S. economy is headed for a 'soft landing' after Congress's approval last week of a debt ceiling deal that averts U.S. default.

The Fed enters its traditional blackout period this week, but there is more data to digest, including the ISM services PMI later Monday, which is expected to point to a still solid rate of expansion.
Comment:
Chainlink in danger of falling to sell pressure
Chainlink extended its bearish swing over the past 24 hours, with a 6.8% loss. This took the altcoin to the March low of $5.94. However, the price quickly bounced off the key support level and traded at $6.08, as of press time.
