The Relative Strength Index (RSI) on the 4-hour chart has shown promising signs of a rebound. Currently nearing the 40% mark, the RSI has formed a double bottom at 39%, suggesting that an upward price correction for LINK might be on the horizon.

This pattern often forecasts a potential reversal, pointing to a favorable moment for investors to consider Chainlink, particularly for those looking at <a href="https://www.ethnews.com/chainlink-whale-activity-rises-a-detailed-analysis-of-link-token-accumulation-trends/">long-term growth</a> prospects. 
Moreover, LINK’s balance on exchanges has seen a decline, as per data from Coinglass. This decrease is significant because it typically indicates that fewer tokens are available for trading, which can lead to a price increase if demand remains constant or grows.&nbsp;

The reduction in available LINK on exchanges is particularly noteworthy following a broader market downturn, suggesting that investors are moving their holdings off exchanges, possibly in anticipation of future price increases. 
This scenario is reinforced by the market’s reaction to last week’s sharp sell-off, which may have established a mid-cycle low for altcoins, according to the 180-day low indicator. This could mean that the market has reached a turning point, although it remains important to await confirmation from broader market trends.

The Advance/Decline Line (ADL), tracking the cumulative performance of the top 40 assets, still indicates weak momentum, advising caution among investors. 
While the current <a href="https://www.ethnews.com/chainlink-poised-for-potential-breakout-as-market-eyes-37-price-target/">market analysis by ETHNews&nbsp; suggests</a> that Chainlink may continue to consolidate for a short period, the indicators of a potential breakout are strengthening.

If LINK’s price can sustain a movement above the $10.85 mark, it could set the stage for a rally towards the $23 mark, a significant increase that would interest both short-term traders and long-term investors. 
While the broader crypto market is yet to fully recover, Chainlink presents a compelling case for investment, especially for those <a href="https://www.ethnews.com/chainlink-whale-movements-spark-fear-among-investors-a-deep-dive-into-recent-market-activity/">looking to capitalize</a> on potential market corrections and the anticipated upward trajectory.

This projection is partly based on the Relative Strength Index (RSI), which is nearing the 42% mark on the 4-hour chart, a level often associated with potential market rebounds. 
On-chain data from Coinglass indicates a reduction in LINK holdings on cryptocurrency exchanges.
