The indicator had today climbed into the overbought region but due to a sudden surge in bearish momentum, the indicator fell back into the neutral zone a few hours later. The sudden drop in the indicator suggests that many have sold the currency after its dramatic increase a few hours ago.

The bands’ convergence suggests a drop in volatility for the Chainlink price in the short term.
