  • Chainlink tumbles over 5%, slipping into the $17 range.  
  • LINK’s trading volume soars by more than 82%.

The crypto market had a rough start, shedding 2.16% in market cap to reach $3.19 trillion. Major assets have surrendered recent gains, testing previous support levels. Among altcoins, Chainlink (LINK) took a hit, dropping 5.35% in the past 24 hours.

LINK opened the day trading at around $19, despite climbing above the level, the altcoin signalled a downside correction and hit a low of $17.14. At the time of writing, Chainlink trades at $17.61. 

During this period, the market saw $2.31 million worth of LINK liquidated, according to Coinglass data. In the meantime, the asset’s daily trading volume surged to $682 million.

Chainlink price has plummeted by over 27.83% in the past thirty days. The month began trading at $24 and LINK’s price has steadily dropped toward hitting the month’s low at the $16.94 mark. 

LINK’s price could steeply fall toward the $15 support zone if the current price momentum fails to prop up. In a highly bearish scenario, the asset may sharply push Chainlink to dip to $12.37 or even lower. 

On the upside, a reversal in momentum could build a steady rally beyond the $20 range. Extended gains might bring in a retest at the $23.26 resistance. If LINK holds the price stable, it could mount high. 

The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) line and the signal line of Chainlink are found below the zero line, which signals a bearish crossover. The current momentum is weak, and the asset is experiencing selling pressure.
