Chainlink On-Chain Data Indicates a Bullish Signal
Chainlink (LINK), which has surpassed $17.50 for the first time in the past six weeks, has emerged as a market leader in cryptocurrencies, according to insights provided by on-chain data provider Santiment.
Meanwhile, the present on-chain analysis unveils a noteworthy pattern: eleven transactions generate a profit for each Chainlink transaction that incurs a loss.
The unprecedented ratio has reached its utmost level since December 8, 2022, indicating a robust bullish sentiment regarding the recent price fluctuations of Chainlink.
This Breakout Can Trigger Major Surge for LINK Price
A daily bearish order block, which has historically seen substantial market participants place sell orders at $17.58, is presenting resistance for the current price of Chainlink.
However, at $16.48, this resistance level coincides with the weekly resistance barrier.
A potential consequence of purchasers' inability to propel the LINK price higher is the occurrence of a retracement.
Analysis of the volume profile indicator suggests that a substantial number of transactions occurred near $14.62, which could serve as a support level for the expected correction.
In addition, this level strongly correlates with the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level, creating an appealing area for accumulation in anticipation of a possible subsequent bullish leg.
The Ethereum spot ETF approval has recently sparked a surge in bullish sentiment, which has increased optimism.
However, if Chainlink were to locate support at $14.62, it might indicate an 18% ascent to retest the daily order block at $17.58.
Under the condition that Chainlink whale accumulation ceases, a breach of this level of resistance could, in a highly optimistic scenario, propel the Chainlink price to $22, representing a total gain of 50%.
Even with robust technical analysis and on-chain data supporting Chainlink’s potential, a weekly candlestick close below $13.59 would negate the bullish outlook by forming a lower low on a higher timeframe.
A scenario in which LINK's price falls by 13% could potentially push the stock towards $11.80, a critical support level.
Furthermore, the on-chain data demonstrates that Chainlink has also made progress.
The quantity of operational addresses within the Chainlink network has experienced a substantial upsurge, expanding from 2,900 on May 18 to 11,300 on May 21.
The substantial surge in usage suggests an expanding market need for the Chainlink platform.
