That level marked the 0.618 Fibonacci retracement zone, often used to gauge trend strength. Since breaking below it, the price action has turned more bearish. LINK is now hovering below the former ascending channel that guided its trend from mid-2023.<\/p>\n<p>According to analyst Ali Martinez, LINK may be \u201c<em>retesting the breakdown zone before a move toward $8.<\/em>\u201d He pointed to prior support now acting as resistance. Unless the price reclaims the $14\u2013$15 area, downside risk remains. The next key levels are around $10 and $8, in line with historical reactions on the chart.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Chainlink <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/search?q=%24LINK&amp;src=ctag&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">$LINK<\/a> could be retesting the breakdown zone before a move toward $8. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/cbG54rrsz6\">pic.twitter.com\/cbG54rrsz6<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Ali (@ali_charts) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ali_charts\/status\/1995342591995298252?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">December 1, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>In addition, on the short-term chart, LINK was rejected at descending trendline resistance. The failed breakout led to a sharp drop, confirmed by increased volume. The move reflects selling interest at higher levels, with no sustained buying follow-through.<\/p>\n<p>Alpha Crypto Signal <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/alphacryptosign\/status\/1995382052712325524?s=20\">noted<\/a>,<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201c$LINK failed to flip its trendline resistance\u2026 sellers are still in control of the trend.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Notably, technical indicators also reflect this. The 50-period EMA and 200-period SMA are both trending downward and remain above the current price, signaling that the broader structure has not yet shifted in favor of buyers.<\/p>\n<h2>Support Zone in Focus<\/h2>\n<p>LINK is now nearing a key support zone. This area has seen previous bounces, and traders are watching for any reaction. If it stabilizes here, a short-term bounce may follow. Otherwise, a break below this range could open the door to lower targets.<\/p>\n<p>CryptoWZRD <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/cryptoWZRD_\/status\/1995337154621517930?s=20\">shared<\/a> that both LINK and LINKBTC are showing weak structure on daily and weekly timeframes:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cA bullish reversal is needed to see a rally towards the $16 resistance.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The analyst also marked $13.50 as a level that needs to break for a more confident upside setup.<\/p>\n<h2>Market Sentiment and Developments<\/h2>\n<p>While technicals lean bearish, some analysts continue to point to long-term potential. Javon Marks <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/JavonTM1\/status\/1995170857921188012?s=20\">mentioned<\/a> that LINK\u2019s target remains over 240% away at around $47.
