A massive flip of $LINK at $13 here.
I expect upward momentum to take place and that we will see $18 as the next target.

Looking at further insights from experts, Crypto Patel predicts a good move for Chainlink (LINK), which has fallen 90% from its all-time high.
He highlights that it continued rising after forming a bottom around $5. It then hit internal range liquidity (IRL) and bounced back, showing a readiness for a positive move.
As per the analyst, LINK has a chance to hit its all-time high and could be a 280% upside from where it stands today. But a candle close below $8 would nullify this outlook.

Technical Analysis: Will Link Correct?
Chainlink’s chart shows a well-defined rising wedge pattern, signaling a period of consolidation coming up after a strong upward move. This could also hint a bearish reversal.
The converging trendlines of the wedge pattern indicate weakness in the bullish momentum toward the apex of the wedge, starting around $13.00.
From there, it proceeds onto this current range of $15.12–$15.50 with higher highs and higher lows. Should the pattern be complete, a fall back to previous support levels won’t be surprising.
Conversely, the chart’s lower portion shows the volume oscillator getting lower, which is usual in a rising wedge.
The volume collapse indicates low buying pressure, creating doubts about the possibility of a continuous bull trend.
The wedge extends to $15.50, at which point immediate resistance lies. A breakout above this level, however, could mean bullish momentum to the next resistance at $17.83.
The next target psychologically would be the level of $18.00 if breached. The key support levels are $14.80 and the lower boundary of the wedge is around $14.50.
If prices break down below here, it could invalidate the current bullish trend, as prices may run back down towards $13.50-13.00.
If LINK is pushed to $14.50 or even lower with heavy volume, it could lead to a retracement to $13.00 or even lower.
