LINK eyes $20.5 as momentum indicators switch bullish; Check forecast image 0

Key takeaways

LINK is the second-best performer among the top 20 coins, up 13.5% in the last 24 hours.
The rally comes after Chainlink introduced the Chainlink Reserve.

The cryptocurrency market has turned bullish following days of bearish price action this week. Bitcoin hit the $117k level for the first time this week while Ether is targeting the $4k high once again.

LINK, the native coin of the Chainlink blockchain, is the second-best performer among the top 20 cryptocurrencies by market cap. The coin could rally higher as momentum indicators switch bullish.

Chainlink introduces the Chainlink Reserve

LINK is up 13.5% in the last 24 hours, outperforming other major cryptocurrencies in the top 20 except Stellar’s XLM. At press time, LINK is trading at $19.04 and looks set to hit a new weekly high if market conditions remain bullish.

The primary catalyst behind LINK’s rally is the launch of the Chainlink Reserve. Chainlink announced on Thursday that it has launched the Chainlink Reserve. This is a new upgrade centered on the creation of a strategic onchain reserve of LINK tokens.

According to Chainlink, the Chainlink Reserve is designed to support the long-term growth and sustainability of the Chainlink Network. It will achieve this by accumulating LINK tokens using offchain revenue from large enterprises that are adopting the Chainlink standard and from onchain service usage. The team added that the Chainlink Reserve is being built up by using Payment Abstraction to convert offchain and onchain revenue into LINK.

LINK could soar past the $20.5 resistance level soon

The LINK/USD 4-hour chart is extremely bullish thanks to Chainlink’s ongoing rally. The technical indicators have switched bullish. The efficiency also showed that LINK has swept liquidity to the downside and could be gearing up to soar higher.

The RSI of 76 shows that LINK is close to an overbought situation while the MACD lines are deep within the positive territory. The momentum indicators suggest that LINK is extremely bullish and could rally higher soon.

If the trend continues, LINK could soar past the July high of $20.3 over the next few hours. Surpassing the $20.3 resistance level could pave the way for LINK to retest the $27.266 high achieved in January.

However, if the broader market undergoes a correction, LINK could retest the resistance-turned-support region at $17.2. An extended bearish run would see LINK drop to the TLQ level at $16.103.

After the 10-year US Treasury yield breaks back above the critical 5% mark, it is more likely to usher in a period of high-level tug-of-war and accelerated asset differentiation. Especially before energy shocks and the significantly eased large-scale expansion of the US fiscal deficit, the conditions to quickly replicate the sharp yield decline seen at the end of 2023 are not yet fully in place.

Is a new wave of sell-offs approaching? The ultimate rival of the AI bull market emerges—The "global anchor of asset pricing" breaks through the 5% super threshold

Anthropic releases another article: What will the economy look like in the AI era?

Anthropic's economics team has released an AI economic scenario model, centered around three scenarios: moderate and gradual growth, transformative changes with GDP doubling, and an extreme situation with 15% annual growth but massive job losses among knowledge workers. The model treats work as "bundles of tasks" and analyzes AI’s enhancement and substitution effects on different types of tasks. Anthropic emphasizes that the economic outlook for 2030 is not predetermined; the key lies in how the dividends from AI are widely shared.

"New Federal Reserve News Agency": Waller's Rate Hike "Has No Way Back", Trump's "Trust" Faces Test

Nick Timiraos believes that after the higher-than-expected August CPI, the probability of the Federal Reserve raising interest rates this week has surged, while Waller’s hawkish stance on inflation has left himself almost "no leeway." With seven weeks before the election, whether or not Waller raises rates will directly test how long Trump's “trust” in him can last. Previously, Waller maintained a balance between the White House and the Federal Reserve by “talking less and avoiding provocation,” but after this meeting, silence will no longer serve as his shield.
