Polkadot moved below its $16.05-support level, with its indicators highlighting more bearishness for the price over the coming trading sessions. Other altcoins such as Ethereum Classic and Maker moved within fixed channels on their charts and awaited further cues from market leaders BTC and ETH.

Polkadot [DOT]

The world’s fourth-largest cryptocurrency, Polkadot was trading at $15.7, at press time, down by 8.6% in 24 hours. The fall was a sign of the selling pressure that gripped the market since the price was unable to break above the $18.9-resistance. On the charts, the candlesticks moved below the 20-SMA (yellow) and 50-SMA (blue) and signaled a bear market for DOT. Moreover, the indicators suggested that the bearish momentum was on the up and that the price could move lower on the charts.

The Awesome Oscillator’s red bars rose in length below zero and so did the red bars on the MACD’s histogram.

Ethereum Classic [ETC]

Ethereum Classic moved rangebound between $7.74 and $7.06 as a lack of strong momentum prevented a breakout in either direction. Low trading volumes and limited buying activity also accentuated the crypto’s recent price action. An extended bearish scenario could see the price fall below its immediate support level and move towards the $6.2-support. On the other hand, a bullish outcome would see the price rise towards the $8.3-resistance level.

The Relative Strength Index stabilized just above the oversold zone and outlined the bearish nature of the crypto’s price.

The Chaikin Money Flow suggested that capital inflows into the market were beginning to recover on the charts.

Maker [MKR]

Maker was trading within a channel of $1,490.60 and $1,325.90, at press time, continuing its trend over the past five days. While it looked like the bears were about to flip the press time support, some bullish activity was recorded in the last trading session. However, a further pullback in the broader market could see the price head lower towards $1,153.4, while a bullish scenario could see a rise towards the immediate resistance.

The Bollinger Bands suggested low volatility in the price as the bands were compressed.

Finally, the Awesome Oscillator was bearish-neutral, but the momentum was weak.

Chainlink‘s price was highlighting the promise of a surge, one that could range anywhere between 18% to 40% over the next month. This surge will be pivotal to the project’s prospective listing by the Grayscale Investment company. It should be noted though that while the rumor got some credibility recently, Grayscale hasn’t announced the listing of these assets yet.

At press time, LINK was trading at $21.42 with a market cap of $8.6 billion, with the altcoin ranked the seventh-largest cryptocurrency on CoinGecko. After recording a 3.2% surge over the previous week, the oracle platform token might be witness to yet another surge soon.

The attached chart highlighted that Chainlink was in a massive bearish ascending parallel channel pattern. The price got close to hitting the upper trendline, but failed after two tries. However, these attempts were what pushed LINK past its previous ATH and towards the new ATH at $25.8. Since hitting the new ATH, LINK’s price has seen a pullback down towards the lower trendline of the parallel channel, where it stood at press time.

Not only was the price being supported by the lower trendline of the channel, but the short-length EMA [yellow] was also preventing the price’s collapse. Hence, the price seemed to be primed for a bounce.

Adding more credibility to this bounce were the RSI and the Stochastic RSI, with both underlining a dip towards the oversold zone and loss of downward momentum. Finally, the MACD indicator was well below zero on the 6-hour chart, showing no signs of heading higher.

Conclusion

Overall, LINK’s price looked bearish on the charts, but considering the aforementioned supports, the bullish scenario also makes sense. There are two scenarios as to how the price could evolve.

In the first scenario, the price will bounce from the lower trendline of the channel or the mid-length EMA [blue] and head higher. This uptrend will have the potential to push the price up by 18% to 40% to $25.8 and $30.8, from where the price stood at press time.

A continuation of the downtrend after closing below the lower trendline would push the price down to $19.4 or $18.2, a development that would mean a 10% to 15% drop from the press time price.
