And while the 11th ranked crypto asset has outperformed nearly everything else in the space, its momentum may soon come to a screeching halt as an accurate sell signal has triggered on the altcoin’s daily price charts.
Remembering Chainlink’s Rise to the Top of Crypto Charts
In late 2018, Bitcoin collapse from $6,000 to $3,000, and the rest of the crypto market was decimated in the carnage.
Altcoins suffered worse, if not just as bad. Chainlink reached a low of just twelve cents per LINK token on the USD trading pair.
Chainlink then rallied by over 3,850% over the next several months, peaking at its 2019 high of $4.65 per LINK token.
