It was the region where LINK began its earlier rally that faced rejection at the $7.7 level. A retest of this zone might provide a bounce in prices.<\/p>\n<p>This was not to be. The recent wave of selling saw a large candle with massive trading volume close the H4 trading session below the order block. Hence this region can be expected to serve as resistance as it was changed to a bearish breaker block.<\/p>\n<p>To the south the $6.58 and $6.06 levels were ones to scrutinize. The bulls could drive a bounce in prices at those places. Short-sellers can look to enter positions targeting these levels with invalidation above the breaker block.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">How much are <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/ambcrypto.com\/convert\/100-link-to-usd\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">1, 10, or 100 LINK worth<\/a> today?<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h4>Long liquidations painted a not-so-pretty picture<\/h4>\n<div id=\"attachment_335995\" style=\"width: 1929px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/statics.ambcrypto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/PP-1-LINK-coinalyze-1.png\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-335995\" class=\"size-full wp-image-335995\" src=\"image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=\" alt=\"Chainlink [LINK]\" width=\"1919\" height=\"1097\" data-lazy-srcset=\"https:\/\/statics.ambcrypto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/PP-1-LINK-coinalyze-1.png 1919w, https:\/\/statics.ambcrypto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/PP-1-LINK-coinalyze-1-300x171.png 300w, https:\/\/statics.ambcrypto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/PP-1-LINK-coinalyze-1-1024x585.png 1024w, https:\/\/statics.ambcrypto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/PP-1-LINK-coinalyze-1-768x439.png 768w, https:\/\/statics.ambcrypto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/PP-1-LINK-coinalyze-1-1536x878.png 1536w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 1919px) 100vw, 1919px\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/statics.ambcrypto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/PP-1-LINK-coinalyze-1.png\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-335995\" class=\"size-full wp-image-335995\" src=\"https:\/\/statics.ambcrypto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/PP-1-LINK-coinalyze-1.png\" alt=\"Chainlink [LINK]\" width=\"1919\" height=\"1097\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-335995\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Source: <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/coinalyze.net\/chainlink\/open-interest\/\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">Coinalyze<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>As Chainlink prices breached the $7 mark to sink as low as $6.8, it triggered a cascade of long liquidations.
