Although its early June rally bagged in decent gains, the bears quickly regained control of the near-term trend. Thus, Chainlink [LINK] has been consolidated in the $5.45-$7.36 range for nearly three weeks now.

After an expected reversal from the $7.3 ceiling, LINK’s descent transposed into a short-term falling-wedge setup. The sellers propelled a 21% drop from 26-30 June.
The last 24 hours marked a decent buying attempt while the alt broke above its reversal pattern. But with the POC standing sturdy, the price action struggled to jump above the $6.3-level.

Any drop below the $5.9-mark could expose the alt to an 8% downside toward the $5.45-support. An immediate recovery would likely see a squeeze phase near the POC in the $6.3-$6.2 range.
