During the first week of July LINK had been trading above the $5.80 support level. However, it faced stiff resistance at the $8.90 price level. It is important to note that the $5.80 price level has been the most reliable support level for LINK for over a year now.

At the time of writing, 15 July, the price of LINK is $6.90 which is well above $5.80 but equally lower than $8.90. Therefore, it is moving sideways in the channel between $5.80 and $8.90. The following graph shows LINK’s price movement for the last 30 days.

Despite LINK’s recent price rise that has surpassed $7.00, it had been fluctuating between $5.80 and $6.67 for several weeks. The last time LINK was below $5.80 was on 23 June.

Nevertheless, during the first week of July the LINK’s relative strength index (RSI) showed a neutral reading which was correct since it had very slight price changes for the next 7 days.

By the way, the [RSI indicator shows whether or not the asset is overbought or oversold](https://www.gate.io/blog_detail/1696/3-best-relative-strength-index-rsi-strategies-for-beginners-and-professionals. "RSI indicator shows whether or not the asset is overbought or oversold"). An RSI reading which is 50 or above shows that the market is bullish while a reading below 50 indicates bearish momentum.
## LINK Price Prediction
As said above, during the first week of July the RSI showed neutral readings. However, the wave theory gives us a clue on LINK’s next possible moves. For example, since the June 10 bottom LINK has completed a five-wave increase which indicates that it has started a bullish trend reversal.

Since it is within an A-B-C corrective structure, the correction is likely to end at the 0.5 Fib retracement support level where the price is $5.73. Also, as the current price rise is the first wave of a five-wave upward price movement LINK is most likely to break above $9.00 and surpasses $10.00.  This price thrust is supported by the RSI which is above 50 and is still increasing as the next diagram shows.
