LINK is in a large pennant pattern and range bound between a key support at $13.34 and a local resistance at $15.13.

A break above the downtrend line of the wedge and the local resistance of $15.13 could see LINK shoot to $17.74.

TLDR

  • Chainlink is bouncing between support at $13.34 and resistance at $15.13.
  • It is stuck in a large pennant/wedge pattern that typically leads to a volatile breakout.
  • Indicators like funding rates and RSI reset to neutral levels.
  • Bitcoin price action will likely dictate Chainlink's next major move.

Technical analysis

  • LINK is ranging between the key support at $13.34 and $15.14.
  • LINK is also in a wedge pattern that may have a more volatile move on a breakout.
  • The RSI on all timeframes has reset substantially, with even the 3D timeframe out of overbought territory. However, the Weekly does remain overbought for now. 
  • A break of the key range will likely produce a volatile move. We will continue to assess price as it squeezes into the pinpoint.

Market mechanics

In terms of mechanics, it’s much improved and far less overheated than it was a week ago. 
  • The Open Interest dropped from $447m a week ago to $284m today. This is now back to healthier levels and far less overheated than it has been. A lot of the excess leverage has been flushed out.
  • The OI-Weighted Funding Rate has reset to neutral levels around the 0.012% mark, so there is a slight bias to be Long rather than Short, but overall, positioning is relatively even. 
  • The Long/Short Ratio is at 0.9589, indicating a bias among participants over the past 24 hours to go Short rather than Long. However, with the Funding Rate moving increasingly positive, we’re likely seeing bigger players Long here while more of retail is Short. However, this isn’t excessive here and may not play out volatilely.

Cryptonary’s take

The general market will likely be led by Bitcoin here, and LINK will likely remain range-bound until Bitcoin makes a meaningful move again. 

If Bitcoin can hold up, then LINK is set up to break to the upside of its wedge pattern and push onto $17.75. 

If there is a pullback to the lower supports of $11.50, we would be DCA buys of LINK with a 12-18 month time horizon.

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.

Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.

Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.
