Crypto analyst CryptoWzrd, in a recent Chainlink daily technical outlook, 
noted that the candle closed slightly bearish, but the overall structure 
remains constructive and pushes toward the key $16.00 resistance, where 
momentum could shift quickly. According to the analyst, a retest of the $13.50 
support or a break above the $15.20 resistance will be the critical trigger 
for the next major trade setup. Indecisive Daily Close Sets the Stage For A 
Critical Trendline Test CryptoWzrd noted that both LINK and LINKBTC closed the 
daily candle in an indecisive manner, reflecting uncertainty in the short-term 
market direction. Despite this hesitation, the broader structure remains 
intact, and price action is approaching a technically significant point that 
will play a crucial role in determining the next major move for Chainlink.

Line Must Break According to the analyst, LINKBTC is now testing its daily 
lower-high trendline. A series of bullish candles emerging from this zone 
would be a strong signal that buyers are re-entering the market. If this 
momentum builds, it is likely to spill over into Chainlink, potentially 
triggering an impulsive rally. Should bullish confirmation appear, LINK could 
drive toward the $16 resistance level, a region that has been tested multiple 
times in the past. A clean breakout above $16 would open the door for a swift 
extension toward the next major hurdle for the bulls $20 resistance, marking a 
significant continuation of upward momentum. On the downside, CryptoWzrd 
emphasized that the $12 level stands as the primary support. A daily close 
below this level would weaken the bullish structure and could signal a deeper 
correction. Until then, the trendline test remains a critical focal point 
where LINK’s uptrend will continue or reverse. ChainLink Choppy Intraday 
Movement Signals Caution Conclusively, the analyst highlighted that the 
intraday chart was characterized by being somewhat choppy and trading within a 
very tight, small range. This consolidation phase often precedes a significant 
directional move, but it has made short-term trading decisions challenging 
without a clear trigger. Related Reading: Chainlink Approaches Key Breakout 
Levels as ETF Launch Triggers Market-Wide Buzz The analyst defined a specific 
setup to watch for: a bearish pullback towards the $13.50 support level, 
followed by a decisive bullish reversal, would serve as the ideal trigger for 
a long position. Such a trade would initially target the $15.20 resistance and 
potentially move toward higher levels thereafter. By confirming immediate 
strategic focus, the analyst stated that his attention &#8220;tomorrow will remain 
on the lower time frame chart development&#8221; to scout the next optimal scalp 
opportunity. This indicates a short-term, opportunistic trading mindset by 
waiting for the confined range to break or for the identified mean-reversion 
setup at $13.50 to play out. Featured image from Pngtree, chart from
