Chainlink currently occupies 6th spot on CoinMarketCap’s list, after its market cap fell from $6.7 billion to $5.86 at press time.
The bearish divergence had played out, with price retreating as low as $14.8 on the pullback. A divergence is when price does not agree with the momentum of the indicators. In this case, the price made higher highs while RSI made lower highs, indicating the weakening of the trend.
It was still unclear what the future holds for LINK. It has been one of the strongest performing large-cap assets and it might be too early to decide that LINK is now set for a deep correction, based on this recent dip.
LINK needs to hold the support recently established near $16.6. The loss of this level can drop prices to $14.
