Chainlink

Chainlink (LINK) price faced a possible short-term pullback as its risk factor reached a peak, leading to a prediction of reversal before another surge.
At the same time, a whale withdrawal worth $15.5 million raised speculation about future market movements.
Additionally, technical analysis highlights a bullish breakout pattern, suggesting Chainlink could climb toward the $35 mark, representing a significant upside.

The short term risk on LINK has reached extreme levels, indicating that LINK is likely at a local price top.
This comes as analysts point to recent spikes in volatility and price momentum, both of which usually presage a pullback.

Generally, the market will need to consolidate at an increase in risk before the next big move upwards.
Chainlink price and risk metrics are starting to back off from their highs as the reversal is already in effect.
It’s how most market cycles have played out boom, asset prices skyrocket, then stabilization.
As per Chainlink price prediction by analysts, his cooling-off period will give a stronger foundation for a sustainable price rise.
This short-term dip or sideways trend will help Link reset before the uptrend continues. Traders should expect the asset to consolidate and stabilize and to provide a better entry opportunity.
Once this phase wraps up, analysts are expecting Chainlink to start moving in its next bullish leg due to regained momentum and faith from investors.

As it turns out, a major <a href="https://www.thecoinrepublic.com/2024/12/16/whales-accumulating-link-chainlink-price-to-rally-soon/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Chainlink</a> whale has withdrawn some over 529999 LINk worth about $15.5 million from Binance in the last three days.
Just six hours ago, 100,000 LINK was withdrawn for $2.95 million, the latest withdrawal.
Speculation has raged across the crypto community about what the whale’s intentions were with this large-scale movement.
Such large transfers typically reduce market liquidity and therefore serve as a signal of strategic positioning.

Whales moving tokens off centralized exchanges is a common sign that they’re getting ready to hold them for the long term or looking to use platform decentralized finance (DeFi).
This will lower the selling pressure on exchanges, which will indirectly affect the dynamics of LINK’s price.
Analysis of Chainlink’s high-net-worth holder withdrawal pattern provides further evidence that high-net-worth holders are building increased confidence in Chainlink and its long-term prospects.
Meanwhile, a decrease in the liquidity on Binance may have some effect on the short-term price of LINK.

<a href="https://www.thecoinrepublic.com/2024/12/14/link-futures-oi-soars-to-new-high-dominates-ton-and-trx-markets/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Link</a> has a very strong support zone at around $27. Several times this support has been tested and has proven to hold as support for the price to stay put.
Three consecutive rounded bottom formations, a common bullish reversal signal with growing buying pressure.
However, if the price holds the critical support zone, LINK could break north from here, and the next target is at $35.00.
The upside for this move would be as high as 31.19%, indicating strong bullish momentum. A breakout in such a pattern frequently reels in traders seeking short-term gains during bullish continuations.
However, Red bars on the Awesome Oscillator indicate that the bears are showing short-term negative momentum, which matches the consolidation phase.
Given that this pullback is against a solid support level, it wouldn’t be surprising to see upward momentum shortly.
CMF, currently at -0.19 is the measure of mild capital outflows. Nevertheless, this indicator could turn positive if buying activity rises in the next sessions.
As long as LINK holds its support, there will be a massive push toward $35 if support and buying pressure grow.
