Chainlink ignites bullish push after the latest slide

• Chainlink has recovered the $7.4 support as the price continues to recover.

• Anticipated Chainlink staking could boost the price.

• LINK aims for $9.4 if the current momentum remains in place.

After remaining largely bearish in the past seven days, Chainlink’s LINK/USD is turning bullish. More-than-expected inflation on Tuesday pushed the token down to $7.03. The level was below key support of $7.4, eliciting fears that LINK was heading to its previous lows.

Bulls seem to have now arrested the decline in Chainlink. The token trades at around $7.6, above the key support with momentum building up. As of press time, the price of LINK was up 2.16% in the last 24 hours. The price defies the overall crypto sentiment since most tokens had dipped in the same period.

Chainlink has witnessed limited developments lately. However, Chainlink Staking, expected later in the year, has proved to be a price driver for the native token. There are also plans to grow the oracle network of Chainlink and improve security via a new token-staking ecosystem.

Summary
