Chainlink Hits Upper Resistance Amid Overbought Conditions

Chainlink (LINK) is trading at $14.39 after a 2% gain in the last 24 hours, but it's facing resistance from its upper Bollinger Band ceiling.

The momentum oscillators are screaming overbought, yet smart money remains aggressively long on LINK futures, with a top traders long/short ratio of 2.0675 and retail at 64.5% long.

However, the spot taker buy/sell ratio is net-negative, with aggressive sellers dominating immediate spot order flow at these levels, suggesting that smart money is reducing spot exposure while holding futures longs.

The Bollinger Bands are pinched against the upper band, and a break above $14.64-$14.88 could open up a run towards $16+ based on the measured move off the compressed band structure.
