Source: CoinMarketCap Crypto analyst CryptoPulse reported that the LINK/BTC cryptocurrency has breached out of the short-term downtrend it established, indicating fresh strength against Bitcoin. Three short-term potential upside targets were identified by the analyst: 0.0001700, 0.0001810, and 0.0001950.
Should bullish momentum prevail, the potential for these resistance levels to be tested by LINK, within the coming weeks, may solidify the cryptocurrency as a leading DeFi-focused asset.

Long-term Chainlink forecasts remain unpredictable, with major differences between leading prediction agencies. According to the analysis by DigitalCoinPrice, Chainlink can see a huge upswing within the calendar year 2025, with estimates suggesting it could breach the figure of $42.84 by December end, even topping its previous all-time high of $52.88. The prediction sees the extended range of $38.56 to $42.84 before targeting further upswing.
Meanwhile, Changelly has a more conservative prediction. Based on their technical analysis, the minimum will be $14.36, the maximum will be $17.52, with the mean value being $20.67 for 2025. The projected figure is based on the assumption that there will be a ROI of -11.1% for the year, revealing a somewhat more negative market outlook.
Short-term forecasts predict LINK will see little movement come next August 2025. Current estimates suggest the value would be somewhere between $18.95 to $19.81, with the mean expectation to be around $19.38. That is a relatively minor predicted gain of just 0.56%, so the notable gain seen this week will not likely carry over into next summer.
Although Chainlinks last performance gained traction, people are divided. Some bullish, some bearish, exhibiting indecision within the crypto space. The future of LINK will be dictated by the future of Bitcoin, the general economy, and to what extent DeFi will continue to expand within the next year.
Traders hold back for now to see if LINK will continue its upward momentum, especially relative to the Bitcoin currency. Long-term investors do the arithmetic on the mixed success for 2025. Something for sure: as viewed by latest reports, the future of LINK for the subsequent months will be dotted with surprises.
