Chainlink (LINK) could be staring down a significant price drop if potential support levels fail to hold. According to crypto analyst Ali, LINK may find short-term support at the lower boundary of its current trading channel, around $12.30. However, if LINK fails to hold that level, it may risk a trip to $8, a nearly 41% drop from its current levels. "LINK could find support at the lower boundary of this channel around $12.30. A break below this level, however, could open the door for a drop to $8," Ali wrote. #Chainlink $LINK could find support at the lower boundary of this channel around $12.30.
