ChainLink has been clearly outperforming the market which has only recently seen a decent bounce. The bounce for LINK started 3 days ago after hitting a low of $3.31. The digital asset saw a huge increase in trading volume and has been able to set a 4-hour uptrend after breaking above the 12 and 26-period EMA which have crossed bullishly.
ChainLink has been in a strong weekly uptrend since September 2019 and has formed a pretty strong bullish reversal candlestick this week. If the bulls can keep up with the recent momentum, they will easily break above the high of $4.8671 within the next week.
Why is ChainLink Outperforming The Crypto Market?
It’s clear that ChainLink is outperforming Bitcoin and the rest of the altcoins. The recent crash has clearly shown that 99% of altcoins are correlated to each other and they all go up or down at the same time, more or less. ChainLink has been one of the few that didn’t follow this trend and was able to see a significant 25% bounce before any altcoin even started to see a bounce.
