An analyst has pointed out how Chainlink might be breaking out of a bull flag right now, which could suggest a rally toward $20. Chainlink Is Escaping Out Of A Bull Flag Pattern Currently In a new post on X, analyst Ali pointed out a breakout that may be forming in the LINK price chart. The relevant technical pattern here is the “bull flag,” which, as its name implies, looks like a flag on a pole. This pattern forms when the asset’s price goes through a pullback after seeing a sharp rally and consolidates inside a region. The initial trend acts as the “pole,” while the parallel trendlines of the consolidation region make up the “flag.” Related Reading: Solana Forms Sell Signal, Decline To $30 Ahead? The flag’s length (the distance between the parallel trendlines) is always at most half the length of the pole. If it’s not, then the pattern isn’t that of a bull flag. Inside the flag, the price feels resistance at the upper line and support at the lower one. A successful break out of the resistance zone generally indicates that the asset is ready to continue the initial uptrend. According to the analyst, the chart below shows that such a pattern is forming for Chainlink. The bull flag pattern that the price of LINK is displaying right now | Source: @ali_charts on X As displayed in the graph, Chainlink had earlier been consolidating inside what seems to have been a bull flag, but with the recent surge, the asset has seen a break out of the pattern. When Ali shared the chart, LINK had been trading just under the $15 mark. The analyst had noted that a retest of the breakout zone could happen soon, around $14. The cryptocurrency has indeed made such a retest since then, as its price has observed some retrace. Ali believes the price could rally towards the $20 mark, continuing the bullish momentum from earlier. From the current asset price, such a jump would imply profits of almost 42% for Chainlink. It remains to be seen whether the bull flag pattern holds for the cryptocurrency this time and if a return to a bullish trend occurs. LINK Has Seen A Rally Of 185% In The Past Month Regardless of the recent pullback that the asset has seen from above the $16 mark, its returns for the last 30 days are still incredible, as they currently stand at a whopping 85%.
