Chainlink Consolidates Above $22 Support, Upward Move Likely

On May 19, LINK price plunged to $21 low and pulled back. However, the selling pressure resumed as the market slumped to $22.50. Since May 10, LINK price has been making a series of lower highs and lower lows.

Each time, LINK makes a lower high, the altcoin will further decline to the previous low. On May 20, the altcoin made a lower high to $32 and it fell to a lower low to $22. In the lower time frame, buyers have retested the lower highs on the three occasions while sellers have revisited the lower lows on four occasions.

This implies that Chainlink is range-bound between the current price range. The altcoin will trend once these levels are breached. On the upside, if buyers breach the $32 resistance, LINK price will rise and retest the next resistance at $44. Incidentally, if buyers are successful above $44, Chainklink will be out of downward correction. Perhaps, the upside momentum will resume. On the other hand, if LINK/USD turns from the $32 high; the market will continue the downward correction.
