Chainlink Outlook
Additionally, Bitwise's Chainlink ETF attracts approximately $1.5 million in weekly inflows, demonstrating investor demand for LINK's regulated exposure without directly holding tokens. Hunter Horsley, CEO of Bitwise, noted that investor interest in Chainlink's role in on-chain finance is growing. Chainlink connects blockchain applications with external market data and financial systems.
On the four-hour chart, LINK prices are near the top of the rising channel, with the Relative Strength Index at 60 and Cai Jin money flow at 0.18. If it breaks through $10, it may look towards $10.50 and $11; if it is rejected, the token may fall back to $9.50 and then test the $9 support area.
Analysts quoted in thereport predicted that LINK could eventually reach US$20, but did not give a specific time frame, and the target is still well above the current resistance level.
This latest trend is a 15% weekly rebound in LINK after overall volatility in the cryptocurrency market depressed prices. The next test is whether stronger derivative positions and ETF demand can push tokens above $10 rather than allowing the August 15 rally to become a temporary rebound.
