Chainlink (LINK) Sighting More Upsides

The first major support is near the $12.55 level. It is close to the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent move from the $12.04 swing low to $13.08 high. The next major support is near the triangle lower trend line at $12.25.
On the upside, the price is facing a major hurdle near $13.10. A clear break and close above $13.10 could open the doors for more gains above the $13.50 resistance level. The next major resistance is near $13.80, above which the price could even clear $14.00.
Downsides Limited?
An initial support for chainlink’s price is near the $12.55 and $12.50 levels. The main support is forming near the $12.25 and $12.20 levels.
If there is a downside break below the $12.20 support zone, there is a risk of a bearish move towards the $11.50 support level and the 100 simple moving average (4-hours).
