LINK · 1H · SIDEWAYS
Price has been chopping in a broad range between roughly 7.600 and 8.600 for the past three weeks, with no clean trend structure on this timeframe. The most recent swing took LINK up to the 8.600 area around July 15, which was rejected hard, and since then price has been consolidating in the 8.000–8.400 zone. Right now price is sitting at 8.342 — mid-range, directly under the dashed horizontal reference line near 8.400 that's been acting as near-term resistance. No clear breakout momentum in either direction, and the macro headlines available carry zero relevant LINK context, so I'm reading this purely on structure.
I'm not forcing a trade here. Mid-range is the worst place to enter with no confirmation, so I'm letting price come to either extreme before committing. The NEUTRAL bias is the honest read — both scenarios are equally valid until one of these levels cracks with conviction.
