Bitcoin continues trading within previously defined support and resistance levels. Dive into today's market situation for the cryptocurrencies Chainlink (LINK) and Litecoin (LTC) as of Friday, October 6.
Chainlink (LINK)
Despite a broader bearish trend for LINK, it's currently showing a localized uptrend. From September 11, the asset has climbed by 45%, marking a local high at $8.28.
At present, LINK is trading within a support zone of $7.20-$7.41 and a resistance level of $7.70-$7.86. The upward momentum looks set to continue. Bulls might face resistance at $8.03 and $8.28. If they push through, LINK could reach and possibly surpass its yearly high of $8.8.
A short-term pullback could bring the coin to the $7.0 mark. Yet, optimism remains as long as LINK stands above $6.5.

Litecoin (LTC)
LTC has been grappling with a decline following its halving, but its trajectory has shown some stability over the past month. At present, the cryptocurrency is hovering between a support range of $55-$60 and a resistance level of $68-$73. Additionally, there's an intermediate buying level set at $63.
While the global trend for LTC remains bearish, its recent activity suggests a state of equilibrium, with neither buyers nor sellers making a definitive push. If the consolidation sees a downward break, the subsequent support level to monitor is at $52.7.
Conversely, if the bulls gain momentum, the ensuing resistance levels laden with selling orders would likely emerge around $76 and the range of $81-$86. The bearish undertone on LTC's chart will persist as long as its price remains below $87.
