As Bitcoin BTC $84 536 24h volatility: 0.6% Market cap: $1.68 T Vol. 24h: $9.17 B crosses the $95,000 level, the cryptocurrency market is in a recovery mode. Amid the surge of buying pressure, Chainlink LINK $12.65 24h volatility: 1.0% Market cap: $8.07 B Vol. 24h: $176.31 M is preparing to skyrocket in this, preparing to capitalize on the increased inflows and start a bullish rally.
Currently, Chainlink remains the 13th biggest cryptocurrency with a $14 billion market cap. Over the past 24 hours, it has increased by 10.35% and is trading above the $22 mark.
In the daily chart, the LINK price action showcases a bullish engulfing candle, undermining the pullback over December 30 and 31. With an 8.61% surge on January 1, the bullish trend continues with an intraday rise of 1.52%.

Currently, LINK is trading at a market price of $22.02 and reclaims the broken 50-day EMA line. While the pullback comes as a potential retest of the broken head-and-shoulder pattern, a bullish closing above the broken neckline at $22 will nullify the bearish pattern.
In such a case, the recovery run could likely retest the previous rejection zone near the $30 psychological mark. On the flip side, the dynamic average lines at $21.11, $18.36, and $16.20 are critical support levels.
Furthermore, the $20 psychological mark has highlighted itself as a high-demand zone.
Amid the ongoing recovery, a well-known crypto analyst Michaël van de Poppe has given bullish projections for Chainlink. Despite the constant low-high formations on the LINK/BTC weekly chart, the current recovery run is searching for a new higher-low formation.
Currently, LINK price is experiencing lower price rejections from a price band slightly below 0.00022 BTC.

The uptrend has begun.
It's now searching for a higher low, however, the valuation of Chainlink against Bitcoin is still super low.

With the critical resistance highlighted at 0.0004480 BTC, the price chart by Michaël van de Poppe showcases a massive upside for Chainlink.
If Chainlink manages to surpass this critical resistance, a trend switch will start for Chainlink. This will likely continue with a higher high and higher low formation.
Over the past year, the bullish confidence among the Chainlink token holders has significantly increased. The Total Balance by holdings has grown from $15.2 billion to $20.57 billion while making a 52-week high peak at $29.43 billion.
