Chainlink's CCIP: Buy the Rumor, Sell the News

Updated
Potential summer slowdown

There's been a noticeable uptick in criticism towards Chainlink on X, with the prevailing narrative questioning the necessity of the LINK token. I anticipate downward pressure on LINK due to Bitcoin's influence, potentially exacerbated by the voices of skeptics, who will cite CCIP GA as a failure. While this may lead to a dip in sentiment and price, it could also present better opportunities for investment.

On the chart, a nice head and shoulders with declining volume, as well as resistance from the Bull Market Support Band and the previous trendline starting in early March.

Still Cruising.

Still seeing gradual downwards movement on Link (and many alts) with Bitcoin (below) still ranging and putting itself in a real inflection point. Bigger moves may be on the horizon.

It is to note that this $12.80 - $13.00 range for LINK could be the lows before some stronger upwards movement. Hedge accordingly.

Retesting. If successful, I will flip bullish.
