LINK and XMR: Altcoin Analysis for September 5, 2023

The global trend on the LINK chart is downward, but the local trajectory remains upward. At the moment, the asset is trading within a range, bounded by support zones of $5.75-$5.88 and resistance levels at $6.22-$6.43. Between these, there's an intermediate resistance level at $6.16.

Should the correction intensify, LINK could potentially retest the $5.6 level and set a new local low below $5.25. This scenario might unfold if Bitcoin continues its descent, pulling altcoins down with it, given the strong correlation with the leading cryptocurrency.

For a return to a bullish trend, buyers need to breach the current resistance zone and establish above the $6.7 mark.

Despite the significant drop since hitting its all-time high ($580) on May 7, 2021, XMR remains on an overall upward trend. Currently, its short-term movement leans bearish, with the cryptocurrency trading within a range between the support levels of $135-$139 and resistance zones of $147-$151.5.

For XMR to resume its bullish trend, it needs to break through the current resistance range and stabilize above the $159 mark. This would potentially set the stage for reaching new local highs above the $170 level.

However, if the leading cryptocurrency continues its decline, XMR's correction could pull it down towards the $131 and $125 benchmarks.
