Cryptocurrency analyst and YouTuber Michaël Van de Poppe is still interested in Chainlink though the altcoin has gone through a deep correction against Bitcoin (LINK/BTC). Poppe says,
Given the heavy correction that Chainlink has still been making during this year and has not been showing too much strength yet and DeFi (decentralized finance) is probably going to wake up, this is going to grant a massive opportunity.
@IllusiveTrades, a cryptocurrency analyst recently noted the first time in history when Chainlink’s 50-day moving average came close to crossing its 200-day moving average. The analyst believes that LINK is expected to breakout in the current setup.
This will be the FIRST TIME IN HISTORY the $LINK 50MA will cross over the 200MA. The last time this could be compared to is when it ran from $4 -> $20 in 2020. Pack your bags because we are going to pump! #Chainlink $ETH $DOT $MATIC #Bitcoin pic.twitter.com/PBqSgSDfKQ
