Chainlink Battles Resistance at $18, Poises for Upward Move Soon

The price of Chainlink (LINK) has resumed its sideways trend as buyers emerge in the oversold region. On January 24, the downtrend eased as the altcoin fell to a low of $13.47.

Over the past two weeks, the bulls and bears have engaged in a price battle between $14 and $18. Today, the bulls are struggling to overcome the resistance at $18. 

On January 30, the bulls were pushed back at the recent high. Nevertheless, Chainlink would have risen to the high of $28 if the bulls had succeeded in breaking the recent high. The bears have sold off at the recent high on every rally. On the downside, the bulls are defending current support as buyers appear in the oversold area.
