Current Chainlink Scenario

Historical Chainlink Scenario
In the summer of 2024, the entire altcoin sector experienced strong momentum, and Chainlink joined the bullish phase. Looking at LINK’s attached monthly chart, we have an overview starting from 2021, when it recorded its ATH in May at $53 USDT.
From there, a sharp bearish phase followed, with a correction of about -90% from the peak down to the June 2023 low at $4.76 USDT. The chart also highlights a congestion phase, with the price moving sideways from June 2022 to October 2023, when a breakout occurred, leading to an initial bullish acceleration. This was followed by a bearish swing, reaching a low in August 2024 at $8.08 USDT.
From that point, a consolidation phase began, culminating in a rally that took LINK’s price to a December 2024 high of $30.94 USDT.
In 2025, after a January close at -41% (LINK’s worst month since March 2020), a low was recorded in April at $10.10 USDT, starting another consolidation phase. July closed with +26.50%, followed by August at +27%. Currently, LINK is breaking through the key resistance at $20.75 USDT, which corresponds to the 50% Fibonacci retracement from the December peak to the April low.
The first target is the $26.50 USDT area, with the next resistance at $30 USDT. The main resistance around $30 USDT corresponds to the 50% Fibonacci retracement from the ATH to the 2023 low.
