Will Chainlink Price Rally 100% From Here?

After forming a bottom at $18 on January 13, the Chainlink price shot up by 50% moving all the way to $27. However, amid the broader crypto market sell-off, the LINK price is trading 5.85% down at $24.38 as of press time.

Prominent cryptocurrency analyst Ali Martinez has highlighted a significant bullish breakout for Chainlink (LINK), suggesting the token is on track to reach $50. “Chainlink (LINK) is in the middle of a bullish breakout, targeting $50!” Martinez shared in a recent post.

LINK Testing Key Support Levels

However for the breakout to happen, the Chainlink price needs to break out of the narrow range of $24-$27. After three consecutive days of rally, LINK faced rejection at the resistance level of $27.14. Moreover, with a strong pullback of over 5.5% today, LINK is once again testing the support at $24.128.

A bullish breakout above the $27.14 resistance level, as indicated by trend-based Fibonacci levels, could propel the price toward the 61.80% level at $32.027, representing an upside potential of approximately 32%.

Conversely, a bearish close below $24.128 might trigger a decline to the 50 EMA line at $21.97, presenting a downside risk of 15.15%.

On-Chain Metrics And Key Development

Blockchain analytics platform Santiment has reported that two key on-chain metrics are signaling bullish momentum for the Chainlink price. Over the past month, the supply of LINK on exchanges has dropped by 0.95%, indicating reduced selling pressure as investors move tokens off trading platforms.

On the other hand, the average age of LINK in wallets has decreased by 6.3%, suggesting increased activity and a potential shift toward accumulation by holders.

Additionally, Chainlink’s Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP) continues to see more demand. Blockchain platform Sonic Labs has officially announced the deployment of Chainlink’s CCIP while equipping developers with advanced tools to enable cross-chain token transfers and messaging capabilities.

Using CCIP, Sonic Labs aims to facilitate seamless interoperability, empowering the creation of high-performance decentralized finance (DeFi) applications.
