Monero climbed for a third consecutive session on Thursday, as the token moved marginally closer to a six-week high. This rise in price comes despite the fact that the global market cap mostly consolidated, and is trading just 0.50% higher as of writing. As for LINK, chainlink bulls have so far failed to break out of a key resistance point.

Monero (XMR) was one of Thursday’s notable gainers, with prices climbing for a third consecutive session. XMR/USD rose to a high of $163.19 earlier in today’s session, which comes a day after the token fell to a low of $155.83. As a result of the move, XMR moved towards last Sunday’s high at $166.07, which was its strongest point since February 20.

On the other hand, chainlink (LINK) was mostly lower on Thursday, as the token failed to move above a key price point. LINK/USD slipped to a low at $7.25 in today’s session — this comes after prices hit an earlier peak of $7.53. Today’s high saw chainlink move towards its ceiling at $7.55, however bulls were unable to secure a breakout.
