Analysts anticipate a potential breakout to $36, as Chainlink (LINK) is currently exhibiting robust upward momentum. In recent weeks, large investors, more commonly known as “whales,” have been aggressively accumulating LINK. Their increasing interest indicates that they are optimistic about the asset’s long-term potential. However, is this rally enduring, or is it merely another brief surge? Chainlink: Strong Whale Appetite Data shows that large investors (whales) have been steadily buying more LINK when the price is between $17 and $21. In the past, when large buyers acted like this, it often led to big price raises. When many whales gather, it can lower the amount offered in the market, causing a supply shortage. $Link #Link So Far So Good, Resistance Breakout, & Retest Has Already Confirmed, & Consolidating In This Region For A While, Now Expecting That Link Will Target 35-36$ In Next Couple Days, & Once This Resistance (35-36$ Got Cleared) We May See New Ath Within Couple Of Days… https://t.co/ImtBG8LINT pic.twitter.com/MWjibmqSGW — World Of Charts (@WorldOfCharts1) January 31, 2025 Simultaneously, smaller investors have begun to take heed. The demand for LINK in the retail sector has increased, as the purchasing pressure has surpassed the selling activity. In the upcoming weeks, LINK may experience an increase in value as a result of the combination of institutional and retail accumulation. Spot-Driven Rally Decreases Risk Unlike other LINK price spikes, this jump is not driven by too great leverage. On-chain data indicate that the rise is spot-driven, meaning demand comes from direct purchases instead of speculative futures contracts. This raises the rally’s longevity by lowering the likelihood of a precipitous drop brought on by liquidations. Still another important consideration is the lack of significant short holdings against LINK. When traders create high-leverage short positions, sudden price gains can cause short squeezes, which can drive prices even more upward. Given leverage is low, organic market demand seems to be the main reason behind LINK’s present movement instead of synthetic price pumps. LINK is currently trading at $22.2. Chart: TradingViewBreaking Critical Resistance Levels The technical analysis indicates that LINK has effectively penetrated numerous resistance levels. Following a period of consolidation within the $21–$22 range, the token advanced toward $24, thereby establishing the foundation for additional gains. The next potential target range for LINK, according to CoinCodex, is $27, provided that it maintains momentum and remains above its critical support zones.

However, the favorable trajectory of LINK may persist if the broader market sentiment remains positive. Chainlink Upward Trajectory: Will It Continue? Chainlink’s long-term viability is bolstered by its increasing prevalence in blockchain infrastructure and decentralized finance (DeFi). Technical breakouts, whale accumulation, and organic demand all indicate that prices will continue to rise. At the time of writing, LINK was trading at $22.37, down 9.1% and 11.4% in the daily and weekly frames.

By day, he navigates the ever-shifting tides of the cryptocurrency market, wielding words like a seasoned editor and crafting articles that decipher the jargon for the masses. When the PC goes on hibernate mode, however, his pursuits take a more mechanical (and sometimes philosophical) turn. Christian's journey with the written word began long before the age of Bitcoin. In the hallowed halls of academia, he honed his craft as a feature writer for his college paper. This early love for storytelling paved the way for a successful stint as an editor at a data engineering firm, where his first-month essay win funded a months-long supply of doggie and kitty treats – a testament to his dedication to his furry companions (more on that later). Christian then roamed the world of journalism, working at newspapers in Canada and even South Korea. He finally settled down at a local news giant in his hometown in the Philippines for a decade, becoming a total news junkie. But then, something new caught his eye: cryptocurrency. It was like a treasure hunt mixed with storytelling - right up his alley! So, he landed a killer gig at NewsBTC, where he's one of the go-to guys for all things crypto. He breaks down this confusing stuff into bite-sized pieces, making it easy for anyone to understand (he salutes his management team for teaching him this skill). Think Christian's all work and no play? Not a chance! When he's not at his computer, you'll find him indulging his passion for motorbikes. A true gearhead, Christian loves tinkering with his bike and savoring the joy of the open road on his 320-cc Yamaha R3. Once a speed demon who hit 120mph (a feat he vowed never to repeat), he now prefers leisurely rides along the coast, enjoying the wind in his thinning hair. Speaking of chill, Christian's got a crew of furry friends waiting for him at home. Two cats and a dog. He swears cats are way smarter than dogs (sorry, Grizzly), but he adores them all anyway. Apparently, watching his pets just chillin’ helps him analyze and write meticulously formatted articles even better. Here's the thing about this guy: He works a lot, but he keeps himself fueled by enough coffee to make it through the day - and some seriously delicious (Filipino) food. He says a delectable meal is the secret ingredient to a killer article. And after a long day of crypto crusading, he unwinds with some rum (mixed with milk) while watching slapstick movies. Looking ahead, Christian sees a bright future with NewsBTC. He says he sees himself privileged to be part of an awesome organization, sharing his expertise and passion with a community he values, and fellow editors - and bosses - he deeply respects. So, the next time you tread into the world of cryptocurrency, remember the man behind the words – the crypto crusader, the grease monkey, and the feline philosopher, all rolled into one.
