LINK has carved its path with an impressive performance. Breaking free from a pennant pattern and surging past the $13.38 resistance, LINK now seeks to establish it as a solid support level.

Yet, on this exhilarating journey, there's more than meets the eye. With fluctuating funding rates and a market laden with leverage, some curveballs could be on the horizon.

TLDR

  • LINK shines with a strong breakout from a pennant pattern and $13.38 resistance.
  • Limited local resistance ahead, with the next major hurdle at $17.30 to $18.00.
  • The funding rate fluctuates but remains positive in a highly leveraged market.
  • There's potential for a meaningful short-term pullback, but we are long-term optimistic on LINK.

Technical analysis

LINK is another that has had a brilliant performance. It already broke out of the pennant pattern and cleared above the horizontal resistance of $13.38 with relative ease. LINK is now working to hold $13.38 as support, having already bounced off that level of support yesterday. 

There are not too many local resistance levels above the current price. In fact, the next major resistance area is $17.30 to $18.00, which is 20% higher than the current price.

Is LINK a good buy?

Market mechanics

The funding rate for LINK was very high; it reset and is now very high again. That is likely due to some of the highly leveraged longs being flushed out in yesterday’s move down to the $13.60s. However, we’re now seeing a positive funding rate again while the open interest level remains very high. 

This is another play with a large build-up of leverage, and it’s heavily-sided on the long side. Historically, when this has been the setup, longs are flushed out more meaningfully. This flush-out could see price going considerably lower than it is now - to say, sub $13.38 and back into the range of $9.67 to $13.38.  

Is LINK a good buy?

Cryptonary’s take

LINK has been a phenomenal performer, and we like it for the long term. Currently, the leverage market is overheated, so we may experience a more meaningful pullback in the short term. But it’s certainly possible that LINK could move to the $17 area first before it has a pullback. 

Ultimately, with the momentum in the current market, this suggests further upside, but the mechanics suggest a leverage flush out is due - likely meaning a price decline. 

We will be buyers for the long term if LINK falls back into the old range of $9.67 to $13.38.
