Chainlink [LINK] has been in a consolidation phase for the past few weeks. It oscillated between a critical supply (red) and demand (green) zone. So far, the supply zone above $7.5 has proved a challenge to bulls.

LINK was bullish on the 12-hour chart, as shown by the RSI’s value. Similarly, the OBV (On Balance Volume) has risen, boosting the recent uptrend but faced a downtick at press time. But LINK has reached the sell pressure area (red) of $7.520 and $7.813. 

The zone has also been a critical resistance level on the three-hour charts. As a result, bulls may still find difficulty overcoming it, especially if BTC fails to reclaim the $25K level. 

Ergo, bears could profit from short-selling opportunities at $7.529, or $7.292, if the price correction extends toward the demand zone (green). The $7.003 or $6.669 levels can also be ideal buying opportunities, so sellers can lock profits at these levels.
