LINK trades at $10.72, well below MA-20 ($12.74), MA-50 ($12.81), and MA-200 ($17.48), with sell signals and an 80% probability of further downside toward $10.50–$11.50 range.

Institutional integration momentum as Swift expands Chainlink testing

Chainlink has published a comprehensive recap of its 2025 institutional partnerships, highlighting major integrations with Swift, Euroclear, JPMorgan, Mastercard, and UBS. These initiatives focus on Chainlink's Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol, which enables financial institutions to transfer tokenized assets across multiple blockchains while maintaining connectivity with traditional systems like Swift. The ongoing expansion of Swift's testing of Chainlink's infrastructure reflects increasing institutional engagement in blockchain solutions.

Persistent downside pressure as momentum signals deepen bearish strength

Momentum indicators confirm further downside, with the MACD and ADX both giving Sell signals and reflecting persistent bearish strength. Oversold readings on the RSI (31.57), Stochastic RSI (0.00), and CCI (–134.09) highlight accumulated bearish excess, yet the Bull/Bear Power at –0.30 underscores continued seller control. The Awesome Oscillator adds to this direction by also confirming the negative trend. LINK has fallen sharply with a daily loss of 7.94%, opening near the previous close with no significant gap, and is currently trading near the day’s low of $10.63. The session features high volatility with sustained pressure after the open, as sellers maintain the upper hand throughout the day.

Range-bound outlook as downside risk overshadows rebound chances

For the next five trading days, the expected price range is adjusted to $10.50 – $11.50 to reflect current volatility and market positioning. The probability of a further price decrease is very high (more than 80%), while a rebound is less likely. In the baseline scenario, LINK remains range-bound between $10.50 and $11.50 with choppy trading. A bullish scenario would require a breakout above $12.62 (Ichimoku Kijun resistance), but persistent signals suggest this is unlikely in the near term. Conversely, a bearish scenario could see LINK slip below $10.50, exposing the coin to new local lows if momentum and negative sentiment continue.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, sees Chainlink locked in sustained bearish momentum. He notes that institutional partnerships offer long-term potential, but technicals remain negative, with heavy selling dominating all timeframes. The analyst is cautious, expecting prices to stay under pressure unless a clear breakout above $12.62 occurs. "Until LINK retakes the $12.62 resistance, my outlook remains defensive — further downside risk prevails in the near term."

Last time, analysts noted that Chainlink remains under sustained bearish pressure, trading below all key moving averages with negative momentum signals on both the MACD and RSI, and no significant support levels nearby. The asset is exhibiting high intraday volatility and strong sell-side dominance, with the price action and intraday momentum indicators aligning to suggest a high probability of further downside within a tight trading range.
