Key Takeaways<\/h2>\n

Why is Chainlink suffering on the price charts?<\/em><\/h3>\n

The persistent selling pressure refused to ease despite onchain accumulation and TradFi partnerships, cementing seller dominance.<\/p>\n

What is the significance of the $15.44 support?<\/em><\/h3>\n

It was a recent weekly swing level and a support, and was breached after the previous week’s trading session closed below it, at $13.4.<\/p>\n

\n

Chainlink [LINK]<\/a> saw a 100% increase in daily trading volume<\/a> at the time of writing. On Monday, the 17th of November, LINK was up 2.91% from the day’s open at $14.13.<\/p>\n

Contextually speaking,Bitcoin [BTC]<\/a> was also modestly up by 1.95%, but neither move came amidst a bullish backdrop.<\/p>\n

In a recent report, AMBCrypto covered why the price action was bearish even though onchain metrics showed accumulation<\/a>. It was revealed that Chainlink price bounces in the short term would be dominated by sellers<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The $15.45 support has been lost to the bears. This meant the weekly structure was now bearish. Additionally, a long-term trend support<\/a> was also ceded. What should traders and investors expect next?<\/p>\n

Chainlink bears firmly in control, but watch out for THIS!<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The rally from $10.94 to $27.87 earlier this year provided clear Fibonacci retracement levels. Those levels aligned with weekly swing zones, including $15.44, which acted as another key support.<\/p>\n

The previous week’s session close at $13.73 meant that LINK had fallen below two key long-term supports, namely, $15.44 and $14.56. The latter was an important Fibonacci retracement level that bulls were unable to defend.<\/p>\n

The OBV showed that selling pressure has been steady in recent months, and a bullish comeback was nowhere in sight.<\/p>\n

Short-term bounces still risk rejection<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The daily chart outlined a firmly bearish structure. A bearish order block sat between $15 and $16.6, forming a supply zone likely to trigger selling if retested.<\/p>\n

To the south, the next price targets were $12.7, a support level from July, and $10.94, the weekly swing low.<\/p>\n
