LINK, the native cryptocurrency of the decentralized Oracle network Chainlink, records a 7.5% drop during Wednesday’s market session.

Key Highlights:
- A flag pattern formation drives the current correction trend in Chainlink price.
- The coin price sustaining above the daily exponential moving average (100 and 200) indicates the broader trend as bullish.
- According to on-chain data from Santiment, Chainlink recorded 1,659 daily transactions exceeding $100,000, marking the highest level of whale activity since December 2023.

Chainlink Price Hints Impending Breakout in Flag Pattern,
Since last weekend, the Chainlink price has experienced a surge in selling pressure, which plugged the asset from $26.4 to $20— a 24% decrease. Despite the notable downtick, the coin price maintains its short-term sideways trend, resonating within the formation of a bull-flag pattern.
Generally, the chart setup indicates a temporary pullback for buyers to regain bullish momentum. If the market selling pressure persists, the altcoin could plunge roughly 18% to retest the pattern’s lower trendline at $16.35.
On the contrary note, LINK price holds a higher potential for rebound and challenges the resistance trendline at $22.5. An upside breakout from this resistance will accelerate the buying pressure and chase a potential target of $31, followed by $40.
