Beyond the pitch deck — AI’s real role in crypto infrastructure

Chainlink (LINK) is up 21% from its Sunday lows, gaining momentum in an 
otherwise uncertain macro and geopolitical environment. While global tensions 
continue to spark volatility across markets, Chainlink has stood out for its 
resilience, supported by a series of strong partnerships and growing on-chain 
fundamentals. The recent price action signals a potential shift in trend, but 
analysts warn that a confirmed breakout is still needed before bulls can fully 
take over. Related Reading: Bitcoin Buy-Side Pressure Surges: Taker Buy Volume 
Spikes Sharply Top analyst Henry Lord of Alts highlighted that LINK has 
endured months of persistent downtrend and unusually quiet price behavior. 
However, recent moves suggest that something is changing beneath the surface. 
Volume is increasing, volatility is picking up, and LINK is forming a base 
structure that could mark the end of its accumulation phase. Despite this 
strength, Chainlink remains technically locked within a consolidation range. A 
clean breakout above key resistance levels will be critical to trigger the 
next phase of upward momentum. Until then, traders are cautiously optimistic 
as LINK teases a larger move. Chainlink Prepares For A Decisive Move Chainlink 
is currently trading over 25% below its May high, reflecting the broader 
market impact of rising macroeconomic uncertainty and geopolitical tensions, 
especially the recent Middle East conflicts. Despite these pressures, LINK has 
managed to hold within a steady consolidation range, signaling resilience as 
the crypto market awaits its next decisive move. Maintaining prices above 
current levels is crucial. A breakdown here could open the door for deeper 
corrections. However, analyst Henry believes the tides may be turning. 
According to Henry, Chainlink has endured months of downtrend and silence, but 
a structural shift is now underway. His analysis highlights that the long- 
standing downtrend has been broken, and LINK has entered a clear accumulation 
and consolidation phase. “These zones often come before the loudest moves,” 
Henry notes. Historically, such phases have preceded explosive rallies, and 
this time may be no different. If momentum picks up, a breakout toward the 
$25–$30 range wouldn’t be surprising. Henry also points out that periods of 
inactivity often mask the actions of smart money—buying quietly before the 
broader market catches on. While it’s easy to overlook assets during calm 
phases, that’s often when the groundwork for major moves is laid. For now, 
Chainlink remains on watch. Related Reading: Ethereum Whale Loads Up: $422M In 
ETH Bought In Under a Month LINK Price Analysis: Signs of Reversal Emerge 
Chainlink is showing early signs of a trend reversal after months of 
consistent decline. As seen in the 12-hour chart, LINK recently rebounded from 
the $11.50 level and is now trading above $13.20. This recovery follows a 
steep drop that marked a new local low, but the bounce has pushed the price 
above the 50-day simple moving average (SMA), now acting as short-term support 
at $13.50. Importantly, LINK is now testing the 100-day SMA (around $14.65), 
which previously served as resistance in late May and early June. If bulls 
manage to break and consolidate above this level, the next target lies near 
the 200-day SMA at $14.16—a confluence zone that may act as a critical 
decision point for trend continuation or rejection. Related Reading: Ethereum 
Holds Critical Support – $2,350 Level Could Define The Next Move While the 
macro structure remains bearish, this short-term accumulation range suggests 
growing demand, especially as the price begins to form higher lows. A clear 
break above $14.65 with volume could confirm the breakout and signal the start 
of a larger move toward the $17–$18 range. Featured image from Dall-E, chart
