Chainlink Breaks Initial Resistance at $38, Eyes $44 Overhead Resistance

LINK price is in an uptrend and it is attempting to revisit the previous highs of $40 and $44. Yesterday, buyers are finding penetration difficult at the $38 high.

On April 20, buyers could not penetrate this level; the market fluctuated below this level for three days before resuming the downward move. The downtrend extended to the low of $30.11 but the bulls bought the dips. On the upside, if buyers break the initial resistance at $38, the LINK price will retest the previous highs of $40 and $44. Conversely, if Chainlink faces rejection at the recent high, the market will decline to $35 low. LINK/USD is trading at $38.84 at the time of writing.
