The LINK crypto was trading inside a tight rectangular zone for more than a year after which, the price broke above the zone. This breakout led to a strong momentum for the price, resulting in a surge of more than 50%.

After the surge, the price of the crypto is currently taking a rest by forming a small consolidation zone again by sustaining above the breakout levels. If the price of the LINK crypto again breaks above the level of $18.300, we might get to see one more surge in the price.

The 20-day, 50-day and 200-day EMAs are forming a golden cross together and the price of the crypto is trading above all of these EMAs. This behavior of the price represents strength. 

The MACD lines are trading in a golden while the signal line has fallen below the zero level. Thus, unless the signal line rises above the zero level, the confirmation of the uptrend will be considered incomplete.

The RSI is sustaining above the 50-level and has also risen above the 14-day SMA, indicating strength in the momentum of the LINK crypto. 

Summary

Chainlink has a strong market position and the technical indicators are mostly bullish. The LINK price broke above a consolidation zone and could surge further if it clears the $18.300 hurdle. The indicators also indicate positivity on the charts and point to the likelihood of a bullish move.
