$LINK — 1H TRADE SETUP
MARKET STRUCTURE
LINK has broken above a short-term descending trendline after several failed attempts to move higher.
Price is now trading above the breakout area, but the market is approaching $12.60–$12.65 resistance. That makes chasing the current move unattractive.
KEY LEVELS
Entry:
$11.65 – $11.80
Target 1:
$12.30
Target 2:
$12.60
Target 3:
$13.20
Invalidation:
$11.20
Risk / Reward:
~1:2.5 to TP2
THE THESIS
The important development is the change in short-term structure.
$LINK spent several sessions being capped by a descending trendline. That resistance has now been broken, and the market is attempting to establish the former resistance as support.
The setup therefore depends on the breakout holding.
A controlled retest of the $11.65–$11.80 region would give buyers a much cleaner risk-defined entry than chasing price into $12.60 resistance.
If the retest holds and momentum returns, $12.30 and $12.60 become the immediate upside objectives. A sustained break through $12.60 would open the possibility of a larger continuation.
A loss of $11.20 invalidates the structure.
THE PLAN
We are not chasing LINK at current levels.
The plan is to wait for price to return to the entry zone and confirm that buyers are defending it.
If the confirmation appears, the position is taken with the invalidation already defined.
If LINK breaks higher without giving the retest, we let it go.
No trade is better than a poorly positioned trade.
