However, with top traders now targeting crucial lower support levels for a bounce, and long interest appearing in the chart – LINK price could be set for a strong consolidation – lets take a look.
Amid the retracement move, Chainlink is currently trading at a market price of $16.13 (representing a 24-hour change of +0.81%).
