Looking at the 4H chart, Chainlink (LINK) is located in the overbought zone according to the Relative Strength Index (RSI).

Buyers have confirmed the bullish trend; however, they need the altcoin to face a short correction before the upcoming rise. In this particular case, the point where a potential bounce off could occur is the $10.30 mark.
Looking at the weekly chart, the rise has been accompanied by a rise in the trading volume. The bulls have broken all resistance levels; however, Chainlink (LINK) could retest the 'mirror' level before updating the new peaks. This is why the most likely price action is a drop to the yellow range between $9-$11. However, if the bears push it below $9 and fix it at this price, then the bearish scenario will be cancelled.
