Yesterday, BTC buyers demonstrated strength, driving the top cryptocurrency up by 5% to a two-year high of $50,360. This overview presents the market situation for Bitcoin (BTC) and Chainlink (LINK) as of Tuesday, February 13.
Bitcoin (BTC)
In recent hours, the BTC price chart has seen a notable decrease in volatility. Bitcoin has been trading sideways, fluctuating between the support level at $49,700 and the resistance mark at $50,360.
The dominant narrative suggests a bullish outlook for Bitcoin, particularly as it hits a high not seen in over two years. This milestone renders previous resistance levels less significant, although sellers are expected to become active near round levels (e.g., $50,500 and $51,000).
A bearish correction appears unlikely for now. Should any downturn occur, it could potentially retreat to support zones at $49,400–$49,550 and $48,900–$49,100, which are still within the broader upward trend.

Chainlink (LINK)
During February 10-11, LINK increased by 15%. At present, the asset is bracketed by a support zone at $19.8–$20.1 and a resistance area at $20.6–$20.9.
For LINK to sustain its growth, it must break above the prevailing seller's range. This entails breaching the intermediary resistance level set at $20.32. Should LINK surpass this threshold and hit a new annual high, it could swiftly move to test the $21.0 and $21.6 levels.
In a corrective scenario, the price of LINK might be pushed down to the $19.2–$19.5 area. However, if Bitcoin's upward trend continues concurrently, any dip in Chainlink could present a prime opportunity for initiating long positions.
