The relationship between the price of Chainlink and domination by Bitcoin (BTC.D) is one of the most monitored by market participants and is one of the determining factors on the next directional release of LINK

The price behavior of Chainlink indicates a struggle between the buyers on the part of defense and sellers curbing the upswing.​

Bitcoin Dominance and LINKBTC: Key to Next Move

The continuing presence or absence of Bitcoin dominance is central to the price movement of Chainlink

Capital tends to be redirected into major altcoins such as Chainlink when the domination of Bitcoin diminishes, opening the opportunity to possible rallies.

On the other hand, the increase in Bitcoin dominance will remove liquidity to altcoins, holding tokens such as LINK range-bound

On the current trend, it can be seen that a drop in BTC.D can soon provide a bullish breakout of Chainlink, particularly when the pair of Chainlink vs. Bitcoin, LINKBTC, demonstrates better results.​

The short-term trading is indicative of a choppy and lacks directional momentum as it involves quick scalp trading as opposed to long-term trading

Resistance areas between 15.80 and 16.90 are being targeted by traders as where potential pullbacks might occur, with the key breakout above 17, potentially opening the door to the 20 mark and above

The fact that volume has been shrinking over the past few price falls shows that participation is declining, which is usually the precursor to a sudden price movement when a breakout takes place.​

Support Holds but Trend Reversal Needs Confirmation

Chainlink has maintained a corrective price behavior, falling out of rejection at approximately 20 in October and experiencing a bearish short-term trend characterized by decreasing highs

The above holding is vital; failure to hold at a higher level of above 15 will see the token in a further decline of reaching lower levels of support of 13.70 or even 12

Nonetheless, this level may be taken as a foundation for bouncing back to the resistance of $1718, an indication of increasing investors’ enthusiasm.​The

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is in a neutral range, which suggests that there could be consolidation but not a full reversal

Should Chainlink be able to firmly overcome the resistance at the point of $17 on a volume basis, then it could lead to a reversal of the order towards the bullish price movement, which could take the price soaring high within a short time, to even $20 and possibly even higher to $30, as opined by the technical observers

The relationship between the Bitcoin dominance and the LINKBTC will continue to be a significant indicator that traders need to use to get early warnings of a reversal in the momentum.​
