Chainlink (LINK) has emerged as one of the top cryptocurrencies in the last week following an impressive market performance which saw the token gain by 46.49% in the past seven days.

Even amidst whale movements, which suggest that investors are taking profit, LINK has managed to maintain its bullish momentum, gaining by 6.10% in the last day to above the $11 mark.

However, despite the positive sentiment that has currently overwhelmed the LINK market, some analysts believe the token may be due for a major retracement.

LINK To Fall Below $10: Is The Bullish Run Over?

In a post on X on Friday, crypto analyst Altcoin Sherpa shared a prediction that LINK may soon experience a price dip, falling as low as $9.50.

However, Altcoin Sherpa notes that this potential price loss may not spell the end of LINK’s bullish phase. In fact, the analyst describes the token’s price coming down as “healthy.”

According to Sherpa’s prediction, LINK’s slide below $10 could simply be a price recorrection before the token resumes its upward trajectory. If this forecast proves true, many traders could view this $9.50 region as a great entry zone.

Interestingly, Cryptonary, another analyst on X, has recently shared a similar price prediction.

In a post on Thursday, Cryptonary called for much caution in the LINK market, stating the crypto asset may not sustain its current high price levels for long.

To back up this forecast, the analyst states the Relative Strength Index (RSI) shows that Chainlink is currently in the overbought zone, which indicates a price pullback lies on the horizon.

Although many traders have opened long positions on LINK as indicated by the market’s positive funding rates, Cryptonary has advised investors against “joining the crowd”
