This alignment with data shows that whales bought 1.38 million LINK during the recent dip, signaling “aggressive accumulation” ahead of a potential supercycle.
Adding to the momentum, Chainlink co-founder Sergey Nazarov is scheduled to speak at the Federal Reserve’s Payments Innovation Conference today, October 22, alongside executives from Paxos, Circle, and Coinbase — a notable sign of Chainlink’s growing influence in institutional discussions.
This recovery has also forming a classic double-bottom pattern on the daily chart, with a neckline at $20 serving as key resistance. Further insights on market implications are outlined below.
Market Implications for LINK’s Price Trajectory
In the long term, as RWA (Real World Asset) tokenization scales toward the trillions, Whale LINK’s utility-driven demands could outpacing speculative rallies — potentially push prices toward three-digit territory by year-end.
However, volatility remains a factor, as Federal Reserve rate decisions and broader macroeconomic uncertainty could spark short-term pullbacks.
Reiterating this converge of whale confidence and Chainlink’s structural upgrades isn’t mere noise — it signals sustained upward pressure on LINK’s price. As noted in recent analyses,
Several analysts believe that a move toward $25 is plausible if Chainlink maintains its current momentum. Technical models suggest that once LINK decisively breaks past the $16–$17 resistance range, the next major target lies near $21.
As for the short term, maintaining support above $18.50 reduces downside risk to $16, while a daily close above $20 could opening the door to $25 by month’s end. In a broader altcoin rotation, LINK’s historical beta suggests 2–3x outperformance, potentially targeting $47 by Q4 if liquidity inflows accelerate.
At the time of writing, Chainlink (LINK) is however, trading at $17.60 USD, reflecting a 3.18% decrease over the past 24 hours, this somehow underscoring the ongoing battling between short-term profit-taking and longer-term accumulation by whales and institutions. See LINK price chart below.
