LINK Price Momentum Flatlines at 72 RSI: What's Next for Chainlink?

Chainlink's price momentum has flatlined at an RSI of 72, a textbook sign of overbought exhaustion. Jessie Ellis notes that this is a warning signal for traders to respect, especially when combined with other indicators like the MACD histogram being dead at zero. This means LINK has outrun its buyers, and a pullback into the $10.81-$11.08 support zone carries 55% probability.

The chart also shows that LINK's price has already slipped below the 7-day SMA of $11.45, indicating short-term sellers have taken control. Ellis points out that oracle-layer tokens like LINK often experience sharp mean-reversion episodes at these RSI extremes before resuming their primary trend.

Despite this technical reality check, the longer-term structural case for Chainlink remains intact. The token is trading 27% above its 50-day SMA and 28% above its 200-day SMA, indicating an extended chart rather than a broken one.
