Chainlink Holds above $6.00 as Buyers and Sellers Reach Indecision

Chainlink (LINK) is in a sideways move above $6.00 support. The current downtrend broke above $5.50 support on May 12. Buyers were unable to sustain bullish momentum after bulls bought the dips.

The downtrend will continue if the bears fall below the $5.50 support. The altcoin will then fall further to $3.88.
