LINK is another absolute monster mover. The volume has been brilliant, which is what has given this lift-off. Let’s assess to see where LINK is at as things stand.

Technical analysis

Following the bear flag breakdown, LINK built a base around $7.20, which led to LINK getting a complete lift-off on Saturday, having broken above the horizontal resistance at $8.07 and the $8.50 level, another local resistance. LINK is now up 42% in 3 days.

We need to ideally see more data on LINK, i.e. more days worth of price action. Does this form a bull flag? What technical formation does it begin to form at these higher levels, or does it just begin to reject?

Price action-wise, LINK has gone straight up essentially, so it’s hard to see this going more meaningfully higher, and you would expect a retest of a lower level. This may be the $9.67 horizontal level on a more local timeframe. 

We need to see more from this in terms of more days' worth of action to use this new information to formulate where LINK’s price may go next.

RSI and funding rates

The daily RSI is at 81… 81. It’s big. This is very over-bought here despite the move being on really strong volume, but just because of how over-bought this is, you have to be cautious on LINK at this price, particularly considering how it has moved up. These kinds of moves are generally unsustainable. 

What we may need to be aware of and look out for is if price does make local highs, how does this look on the RSI? Does it create that bearish divergence? Getting something like this could set us up for a short. 

The funding rate is very positive, indicating many more longs than shorts. In terms of open interest, on average, it’s been at $145M this year. It’s now at $381M. This is being longed hard. 

Conclusion on trading LINK

Already, this is beginning to set up for a short. However, we would want to see if today’s upside wick gets more filled (up to, say, the $11 point). 

We certainly wouldn’t be fomo’ing in here with fresh longs/buys; if anything, we’d be trimming our position and taking profits.

We wouldn’t be surprised to see this back down at the low $8’s in the next 4 to 6 weeks. 

Action

  • If we owned LINK here, we would be booking profits on some of our size. 
  • Regarding shorting this, waiting for more information (more days’ worth of price action) before going for it is wiser. However, a lot of the factors are already aligning and are supportive of a short.
  • Overall, we remain cautious on this here, and certainly, we’re not looking to add any size to the current price. It is far too overbought for us here.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.

No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.

Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.

We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.
