Resistance Reclaim in the London Session

$LINK has retested and held above the $8.15 resistance level on the 4-hour timeframe, signaling a shift in the immediate technical structure. Current price at $8.18 sits just 0.37% above that threshold, indicating price has committed to staying above it through the London trading window. Volume on the move has been moderate at $138M over 24 hours, suggesting the breakout lacks the aggressive follow-through typical of high-conviction rallies, but the hold above $8.15 remains constructive.

Next Structural Level: $8.45 and Fibonacci Context

The next resistance zone lies at $8.45, roughly 3.3% above current levels. This level represents a natural extension of the recent uptrend and aligns with previous swing highs that have constrained price action. Traders should monitor whether $LINK can close above $8.30 on the 4H chart as an intermediate confirmation before a push toward $8.45. A Fibonacci retracement from a recent high would place the 61.8% level near $8.38, making the $8.35 to $8.45 zone a critical resistance band that typically attracts profit-taking or renewed selling pressure.

Support Levels Below and Momentum Indicators

If the London session momentum fades, support sits at $8.00, roughly 2.2% below current price. A break below $8.15 would invalidate the recent breakout setup and risk a retest of $7.85. RSI and MACD signals should be monitored: if RSI remains above 50 on the 4H chart, the bias remains bullish; a drop below 50 suggests weakening momentum despite price holding above $8.15. The 24-hour positive sentiment reading of 81% on social platforms (with a Galaxy Score of 57/100) reflects trader conviction, though on-chain activity should remain the primary guide to whether this breakout holds through the New York session.
