The LINK/USD pair could surge a further 20% if bulls see fresh moves above $35

Chainlink price has surged more than 14% in the past 24 hours to trade above $34 as bulls seek to extend the upside move towards $40.

The double-digit gains for LINK/USD come as the overall crypto market is enjoying a great start to the week after Bitcoin (BTC) broke above $51,000.

Across the market, Ethereum price is hovering around $3,950 as traders seek a breakout above the $4,000 level, while Bitcoin Cash (BCH) and Filecoin (FIL) are also registering double-digit moves to trade at $794 and $116 respectively.

In the meantime, the total cryptocurrency market cap has increased by 3.5% in the past 24 hours to currently sit around $2.46 trillion.

According to on-chain and social metrics platform Santiment, Chainlink’s price surge comes as development activity on Github reaches new highs.

The various integrations of Chainlink price feeds have also added to the positive sentiment around the protocol, a scenario likely to combine with fresh moves in decentralised finance (DeFi) to see LINK price target resistance levels in the $37-$42 range.

On the technical front, LINK price has seen significant gains after breaching the 200-day moving average. Bulls have even established a nice support zone above $30, with a retest of the horizontal line providing a base for fresh gains.

The overbought conditions of the daily RSI and the bullish crossover the MACD are highlighting a potential uptrend continuation. If Chainlink price breaks the $37 barrier, new targets for LINK/USD would likely be around $43.

On the flip side, failure to hold above $33 opens up a possible downturn to the 200 MA at $28 and likely to the horizontal support line around $25.
