Chainlink Gains 1.63% Today to $24.94

Highlights

Chainlink (LINK) trades at $24.94, above its MA-20, MA-50, and MA-200, underscoring a bullish structure across all major timeframes.
Chainlink's total value secured surpassed $100 billion as of September 12, 2025, driven by increased DeFi adoption and institutional collaborations like Aave and Shiba Inu.
Despite daily MACD showing a strong sell and oscillators like Stoch RSI and CCI signaling overbought, weekly trend indicators suggest an 80% probability LINK targets $28.90 to $30.08 if $25.50 breaks.

Record secured value and new partnerships boost sector confidence

Chainlink's total value secured (TVS) reached an all-time high of over $100 billion as of September 12, 2025, highlighting rapid adoption across decentralized finance and traditional financial partnerships. Aave's dominant share of secured value and new collaborations with major institutions have strengthened confidence in LINK's position in the oracle sector. Additional momentum comes from upcoming advances, including Shiba Inu’s planned deployment of LINK's cross-chain protocol to expand liquidity across multiple blockchains.

Technical divergence emerges as mixed momentum counters overbought signals

Short-term support sits near the Ichimoku kijun at $24.87, while resistance is likely near $25.00 or the next round level, as the price is holding above key moving averages. Momentum signals are mixed: MACD on the daily chart gives a strong sell reading, while ADX is neutral and fading, indicating weak trend strength. Overbought conditions are shown by Stoch RSI and CCI, and the daily RSI also leans bullish, suggesting possible exhaustion. BBP points toward buyer dominance throughout the session, but the Awesome Oscillator is neutral and does not support the current bullish move. There is a clear divergence between oscillators and momentum indicators, and while the intraday tone is strong, it is not fully confirmed by underlying trend signals.

Bullish bias dominates as breakout risk centers on support threshold

For the coming week, the forecasted range is $28.90 to $30.08. Based on signals from the weekly RSI, MACD, and MA-50 (all bullish), the probability of an increase is very high (more than 80%), making a decline much less likely. The baseline scenario sees LINK holding within a sideways corridor around $24.50 – $25.50. A bullish scenario unfolds if the price breaks above $25.50, targeting the $28.90 – $30.08 range, while a bearish move could occur if LINK falls below immediate support at $24.87, potentially leading to a retreat toward short-term moving averages.

Viktoras Karapetjanc, expert at Traders Union, sees Chainlink maintaining a bullish technical structure above all key moving averages, with strong fundamental adoption underpinning medium-term confidence. However, with oscillators flashing overbought and momentum readings conflicted, Karapetjanc believes the base case remains for consolidation between $24.50 and $25.50, pending confirmation of further strength. A move above $25.50 would open the way toward $28.90 — $30.08, while a break below $24.87 could trigger a correction toward underlying supports. "While mid-term signals are positive, I remain cautious — I prefer to wait for a clean break above $25.50 before increasing exposure to the current move."
