Chainlink has recently seen greater adoption amid growing demand for Real World Asset (RWA) tokenization. Institutions are increasingly looking at blockchain to bring traditional assets on-chain.

Link price outlook

Popular crypto analyst Clifton recently pointed out on X that LINK has been trading within a Descending Channel Formation since December 2024. If the cryptocurrency breaks above this pattern, it could see a powerful 100%-150% rally, according to him.

On the daily LINK chart, the price is currently testing the upper band of the Bollinger Bands. The sharp move to the upside suggests bullish momentum, and a sustainable hold above $15.60 could push the token toward the $18-$20 range.

Meanwhile, the RSI stands at 58, just shy of the overbought threshold. This hints at growing bullish momentum without being overheated. If RSI climbs further upwards, it could mark a near-term top at $17.

The MACD line is below the signal line with histogram in red territory. This suggests that selling pressure is still high among investors. If the token fails to hold the $13.80 level, traders could see a short-term correction.

It is interesting to note that LINK seems to be forming a bullish flag pattern on the 4-hour chart. The flagpole started with a significant upward move around April 19 to April 23 with the flag developed till May 7.

If the price breaks out above the upper trendline of the flag around $14.90, the potential price target could be around $17.50.

LINK’s recent price surge mirrors the broader market rally, as the global crypto market cap expanded by 3.5% in the past day.
