LINK is Building a Higher Base Instead of Breaking Down — Here’s Why Traders Are Taking Notice For most of this cycle, Chainlink's price has followed a pattern traders know all too well. LINK rallies, hits resistance, then slowly bleeds lower. Wash, rinse, repeat. This rhythm has played out time and again on the LINK/BTC chart, which is why a recent observation by Michael van de Poppe has caught extra attention. This time, something looks different. Van de Poppe pointed out that LINK may be forming its first higher low since the bear market, and it’s not just talk. You can see it on the chart. Instead of breaking to fresh lows below the familiar $12.00–$12.50 zone, the price dipped into support around $13.70 and held. That alone doesn’t confirm a trend reversal, but it suggests something is shifting beneath the surface. Changes like this tend to show up before big moves, not after. Why This Higher Low Is a Subtle But Important Signal Looking closely at recent price action, LINK sharply pushed into support, printed a long lower wick near $13.70, and then bounced. That area has since acted as a base. Sellers have tried, but so far haven’t been able to force a breakdown. Here’s the meaningful difference compared to earlier phases of the downtrend. Previously, every bounce eventually led to lower lows under $13. This time, the price stopped higher and began consolidating. Buyers are stepping in earlier than before, and trend changes often start quietly like this, without much fanfare. As long as LINK holds above the $13.50–$13.70 range, pullbacks are starting to look more like controlled retests than warning signs. This isn’t bullish euphoria, but it’s not pure weakness either. The Level That Will Decide LINK’s Direction That said, the chart isn’t claiming everything is resolved. There’s a clear hurdle overhead. The previous swing high around $16.50–$17.00 is the level that truly matters. Until LINK can break and hold above that zone, this move remains classified as a recovery, not a full reversal. There’s also a key moving average around $15 that has capped rallies for months. LINK is pushing back into that area now. A clean move above $15 followed by acceptance would increase the odds of a push toward $17.00. If price gets rejected again, it wouldn’t be surprising to see LINK chop sideways between roughly $13.70 and $15 for a while. What’s Next for LINK? Momentum indicators aren’t flashing extremes, and that’s actually a good thing. LINK isn’t overextended above resistance or crashing through support. It’s sitting in a decision zone—the kind where the market has to prove whether this higher low truly matters. If the base continues to hold and price starts challenging $16.50 and above, the structure will finally begin to meaningfully shift. Until then, it’s the quiet part of the move. Pressure is building, patience is being tested, and the hand is slowly being revealed on the chart. Food for thought: Do you think LINK will use this new base to break upward, or is this just a pause before another leg down?

$LINK pushed strongly from the 13.62–13.65 area and reached 13.84–13.85, where price started to stall. The move up was sharp, but follow-through is weakening near the highs, showing hesitation after the impulse. This looks like a reaction move where early buyers are taking profit near the upper range. Price is now hovering just below the 13.85 resistance, a zone that has already caused rejection. If LINK fails to hold above this level, the structure favors a pullback toward the mid-range before any next move. A clean acceptance above the highs would cancel this idea. Scalp Trade Plan Short Entry Zone: 13.80 – 13.88 TP1: 13.68 TP2: 13.55 Stop Loss: 13.98 Leverage: 20x – 50x Margin: 1% – 3% Risk Tip: Book partial profit at TP1 and move stop-loss to entry.
