🚀 Chainlink: Can $LINK Break $17 or Is a Trap Brewing?

📈 Chainlink’s uptrend remains intact as it climbs toward the key $17.39 resistance. After reclaiming $15.90, $LINK formed higher lows—clear signs of bullish structure.

Spot market demand is strong. Taker Buy Volume Dominance favors bulls, showing buyers are outpacing sellers. That’s a solid setup for continuation—if momentum holds.

But risks are rising. The MVRV Ratio hit 37.87%, placing many holders in profit—prime zone for profit-taking. Meanwhile, NVT spikes hint at overvaluation relative to on-chain use.

Derivatives are heating up. Funding Rates flipped positive and Open Interest surged 8.47% to $843M—clear signs of rising long interest and market confidence.

However, elevated OI brings volatility risk. The Binance Heatmap shows liquidation clusters near $17. A breakout or rejection could trigger fast moves.

🧠 Bottom line: Bulls have momentum, but $17.50 is the level to watch. Flip it to support, and LINK could rally higher. Fail here—and we may see another rejection.
