Can LINK break free, or will the range trap

Can LINK break free, or will the range trap persist?

Chainlink is showing renewed strength as bulls push toward a key resistance level near $17.50. Spot demand, funding, and OI all support a bullish outlook. 

However, on-chain metrics and clustered liquidations suggest that a rejection remains possible. 

Whether LINK flips this range into support or faces another rejection will define its short-term trend trajectory.
