A few weeks have passed for the cryptocurrency market, with Bitcoin plummeting from a recent high of $ 10,500 to $ 8,400, causing most major altcoins to experience a sharp decline.
However, there is one cryptocurrency that has been able to rise in price under this market-wide selling pressure, which is LINK when it sets a new ATH level against its Bitcoin trading pair.
This strong uptrend has led a leading analyst to note that the strength of LINK / BTC is likely to result in significantly higher prices than the USD in the coming days and weeks.
Bitcoin is still stuck under $ 9,000
After generating a brief rally to a high of $ 8,950 this morning, Bitcoin faced a rapid rejection at this level that then caused the price to plummet to $ 8,700 – that's where It has been fluctuating for the past few days.
The early morning rally took place in parallel with the boom of Gold and the global stock market, with price action seemingly continuing to confirm the state of the cryptocurrency as a risky investment.
The recent denial also confirms that the cryptocurrency is currently weak and may suggest that it will witness further declines before finding enough support to catalyze a sustained uptrend.
TraderXO analyst explained in a recent tweet that BTC may see some price increases in the near future, but will eventually drop to as low as $ 7,900.

"Checking the highs here. A breakout of $ 4.30 will be able to test $ 4.60-4.70. "
