The new trading month on the LINK market starts with great ambitions. In January, the LINK price rose more than 2 times, setting a new historical high of $25.78. Trading volumes are also commendable, as they reached the level of August 2020. And we remember well what happened to the cryptocurrency projects in August, which belong to or are related to the DeFi ecosystem. The closing of the month candle near the historical high shows the strength of buyers and good growth prospects for LINK in February.

By the way, we wrote about this scenario in <a href="https://www.cryptoknowmics.com/news/link-is-back-the-price-has-grown-by-50-for-the-week/">the previous article</a>, and buyers coped with this blow. Sellers failed to break the critical range of $16.4-$17.4. The touch of the LINK price to this range on 22 January provoked a powerful counterattack of buyers.

This price rallies by 40% for 2 days was supported by high volumes, which indicates a continuation of buyers’ trend. However, the same LINK liquidity zone of $23.7-$24.7 did not allow continue the growth impulse. To keep up the pressure on this range, it is important for buyers to keep the mark of $22 under their control.
