Cardano (ADA) currently has the worst performance as it has lost 2.25 percent.

LINK/USD opened at 29,79$ today after relatively calm trading yesterday, during which the price structure of Chainlink established a higher low around the $29 mark. Currently, LINK is set to retest the $32 mark, which served as a strong resistance earlier this week. If the resistance is broken, we should see the Chainlink price move much higher in the following days as there is no strong resistance until the $36 mark, which is where the current all-time-high is located.

LINK/USD 4-hour chart – Will LINK break resistance at $32?

From there on, the Chainlink price has pushed higher and tests previous local high around $31.2.

Overall, Chainlink is ready to move higher as indicated by very bullish price action over the past days. As mentioned in our previous Chainlink price prediction, the next rally for LINK could see as much as a 40 percent upside. 

This Chainlink price prediction is very bullish. However, when considering that there is only one resistance ahead for the market around the previous all-time high of $36, we could see Chainlink easily explode higher over the remainder of March in a similar way as during the beginning of February.

As seen on the chart, LINK has spent the last week consolidating around a range of approximately $27-$31. Both higher local swing highs and lower lows have been set, indicating a lack of clear direction. However, Chainlink price did set a clear signal yesterday as it rapidly moved towards the $31 mark after retesting support around the previously retested $26-$27 area of support.

What followed was a small retracement yesterday, during which further downside was rejected around the $29 mark. Today, we have seen the Chainlink price push higher again. The previous swing high at $31 has already been reached. If this high is broken, we LINK has another strong resistance at the $32 mark. If this resistance can be broken, we should see Chainlink move much higher over the following days.

Therefore, the expectation for Chainlink is that it should reach the previous all-time-high next week. From there on, Chainlink has no further resistances ahead and we could see Chainlink trade much higher over the remainder of March in an exponential move as we already saw during the beginning of February.

Alternatively, If Chainlink gets resisted by the current resistance at $32, we could see Chainlink continue the several-day consolidation next week. This could lead towards a very bearish scenario in which LINK retests the previous major support area around $26-$27. If this area breaks, Chainlink`s price structure would start to look very bearish once again.

Chainlink price Prediction: Conclusion 

Chainlink price prediction is bullish as the market has set a new local higher low and tests previous local swing high with good momentum. Therefore, if both the local high and resistance at $32 are broken later today, we should see Chainlink push higher towards the all-time high around $36 next week.
