For Chainlink (LINK), the waters of the bitcoin market are moving in its favor. Inspired by recent accumulation from big investors and forecasts of an upward trend, the asset is exhibiting signs of life following a period of slow performance. Nonetheless, the path to recovery might be a meandering one as experts have conflicting projections for the next years. Related Reading: Mass Adoption? NEAR Protocol Sees 17 Million Unique Addresses In 30 Days Whales Build Chainlink During Crisis Market observers are fixated on the behaviour of “whales,” or heavily weighted investors. Renowned crypto analyst Ali Martinez claims that these whales have been on a purchasing frenzy, grabbing an amazing 6.2 million LINK tokens valued $76.88 million during the most recent price drop. According to this “buy-the-dip” approach, whales find promise in LINK and think the present low price offer a good purchase possibility. For his part, crypto expert Michael van de Poppe sees a seasonal pattern of “finding bottoms in June of every year.” According to him, most likely than not, such patters are having the same bottoming procedure so far this year, and will “start to crawl upwards from hereon.” $LINK has been getting a seasonal pattern of finding bottoms in June of every year. Very likely, it’s having the same bottoming procedure in 2024 and will start to crawl upwards from here. pic.twitter.com/5T4GikNrFa — Michaël van de Poppe (@CryptoMichNL) July 8, 2024 Forecasts From Analysts: An Ocean Of Possibilities Analyst opinions on LINK’s future course vary. With LINK hitting $14.92 by July 15th, a surge of 12%, CoinCheckup, a crypto trading site, projects a quite calm ride ahead. Forecasting a 30% jump in the following seven days followed by a notable 154.88% growth within a year, CoinCheckup, a price prediction tool, presents a more clearer picture and links the altcoin to a price of $32.83. Not everyone, meantime, is raising a positive flag. Another crypto analyzer tool, CoinCodex, presents a more wary image. By August 9th, their projection points to a 66.07% increase that will bring $21.39. Their technical indicators, however, show a “bearish” attitude towards LINK; the Fear & Greed Index ticks around 28 (the fear zone). Network Evolution And Regulatory Headwinds Although optimistic forecasts and whale activity point to good things ahead, LINK’s road forward is not without difficulties. Regulatory obstacles still brings forth issues as governments all over struggle with how to monitor the always changing bitcoin terrain. Also of big importance for LINK’s future direction will be changes in networks and more general market trends.

After recently surpassing the $23.50 mark, the price of Avalanche (AVAX) has continued to show resilience moving higher with good momentum towards the $30.34 resistance level. This upward movement has signaled bullish sentiment among market participants and potential further gain for the crypto asset. As Avalanche continues to gain pace above $23.50, this article delves into providing an in-depth analysis of this recent price surge and its potential for further growth by examining current price actions and technical indicators focusing on the 4-hour and the 1-day chart.  At the time of writing, AVAX’s price was up by over 4.85%, trading at about $26.88, with a market capitalization of more than $10 billion and a trading volume of more than $305 million. In the last 24 hours, the market capitalization of AVAX has increased by 4.44%, while trading volume has decreased by 32.13%. Analysis Of AVAX’s Recent Price Momentum Currently, the price of AVAX on the 4-hour chart with bullish momentum has crossed above the 100-day Simple Moving Average (SMA). The digital asset has been on an upward spiral since breaking above its previous low of $26.50. As a result of the price movement, Avalanche could still extend its rally toward the $30.34 resistance level. Also, an examination of the 4-hour Composite Trend Oscillator indicates that the price of AVAX might continue to rise since the indicator’s signal line has crossed above its simple moving average, and both are trying to move above 50%. On the 1-day chart, although Avalanche is still trading below the 100-day SMA, it can be observed that the crypto asset is attempting a bullish move towards the $30.34 resistance level. After the cross above $26.50, AVAX has been showing bullish resilience thereby keeping its pace above this level. With this recent bullish momentum, the digital asset could potentially extend its rally to other resistance levels. Finally, on the 1-day chart, the composite trend oscillator also indicates that AVAX could potentially expand its bullish move as the signal is attempting to cross above the SMA of the indicator and are both trying to move out of the oversold zone. Can Avalanche Sustain Its Upward Trajectory? Currently, AVAX is trying to move higher toward the resistance level of $30.34. If the crypto asset’s price hits this level and closes above, it will likely move on to challenge the resistance level at $37.29. If the $37.29 level is surpassed, it may also target the $39.94 resistance level and other higher levels.  Nonetheless, if it reaches the $30.34 mark and encounters resistance, the price might begin to decline once more in the direction of the $23.50 support level. When it breaches this $23.50 support level below, Avalanche will keep falling to test the $18.83 support and other lower levels. Featured image from Adobe Stock, chart from Tradingview.com
