ChainLink (LINK) technical analysis:

Trade setup:  Price is in a Downtrend, however, it had a bullish breakout from Channel Down pattern and above $12.00 resistance, which could signal at least a temporary bullish trend reversal with +20% upside to $15.00 next. Stop Loss at $10.15. This is a riskier trade setup because it’s a trend reversal not a trend continuation setup. It’s against the overall downtrend. (Set a price alertLearn to trade breakouts in Lesson 7 and Risk Management in Lesson 9.

Pattern: Price is trading in a Channel Down pattern. With emerging patterns, traders who believe the price is likely to remain within its channel can initiate trades when the price fluctuates within its channel trendlines. With complete patterns (i.e. a breakout) – initiate a trade when the price breaks through the channel’s trendlines, either on the upper or lower side. When this happens, the price can move rapidly in the direction of that breakout. Learn to trade chart patterns in Lesson 8.

Trend: Short-term trend is Down, Medium-term trend is Down and Long-term trend is Strong Down.

Momentum Price is neither overbought nor oversold currently, based on RSI-14 levels (RSI > 30 and RSI < 70).

Support and Resistance: Nearest Support Zone is $8.20. Nearest Resistance Zone is $12.00, then $15.00.

Overview of ChainLink

ChainLink is a decentralized oracle network. It seeks to operate as a middleman between smart contracts on smart contracting platforms and outside data sources, enabling smart contracts to safely access off-chain data feeds.

ChainLink History

In order to build a link between external data sources and open blockchains, ChainLink’s parent business SmartContract.com was established in September 2014. A product named ChainLink was ultimately created by the team, enabling smart contracts to connect to data feeds from any online API and data source. But because the initial SmartContract.com oracle solution for public blockchains relied on centralized oracles, it gave rise to the so-called “oracle dilemma”—a difficulty that results from smart contracts’ reliance on reliable outside sources of data. With the ChainLink network, a fresh decentralized oracle network, SmartContract.com made an effort to solve this issue in 2017.

To fund the project’s development, SmartContract.com (SmartContract ChainLink Ltd) raised $32 million through an initial coin offering. The ChainLink network aims to connect open blockchains and external data sources. Through its decentralized oracle network, it links smart contract platforms to crucial off-chain data from markets, events, and payments. Anyone with a data feed or other API can sign up for the Chainlink network and take on tasks to retrieve and distribute data to smart contracts. For their services, node operators are compensated in ChainLink tokens (LINK). When staking launches on the mainnet, node operators will also be able to stake LINK to fulfill specific smart contract demands that call for collateral. On June 1, 2019, Chainlink’s mainnet went online on Ethereum.

Technology of ChainLink

On-chain and off-chain components both exist in ChainLink. ChainLink is a network of oracle nodes that connects to open blockchains off-chain (initially just Ethereum). ChainLink on-chain is made up of a number of smart contracts that operate as an interface for contracts that want to request data feeds. A network of oracle nodes linked to the Ethereum blockchain makes up the off-chain portion of ChainLink. These nodes harvest off-chain answers on their own. A smart contract on Ethereum aggregates each participant’s individual responses, weights them, and then returns the results to the requesting contract. The standard open source core implementation, which manages typical blockchain interactions, scheduling, and connecting with external resources, powers ChainLink nodes.

The on-chain portion of ChainLink is made up of three major contracts: an aggregating contract, an order-matching contract, and a reputation contract. Oracle service provider performance indicators are tracked by the reputation contract. The order-matching smart contract takes proposed service level agreements (SLAs), which may include information such as query parameters (which data feeds to use), the quantity of oracles the buyer needs, collateral specifications, and uptime demands, and logs them. It also solicits quotes from oracle providers. The Oracle SLA is then finalized when bids are chosen utilizing the reputation contract. The ChainLink query’s final collective result is determined by the aggregating contract, which compiles the oracle providers’ responses. Additionally, the reputation contract receives metrics from the Oracle provider.
This process starts with a user smart contract. Data request parameters are defined by user smart contracts that publish contracts with SLAs. The order matching contract, which both collects bids and logs the SLA parameters, is used by node operators who watch the Ethereum blockchain for these requests to bid to service them. Through the ChainLink core team marketplace or other marketplaces for matching requests, users can even choose particular node operators by hand. Node operators who match a request node return external data to the aggregating contract, which combines the data into a single weighted value, transmits performance metrics to the reputation contract, and then reports the single weighted value back to the smart contract that requested it. Node operators are paid in LINK as payment for their services. Although all smart contract networks will eventually be integrated with LINK, it is currently based on the Ethereum platform.
