  1. Chainlink (LINK) remains in a long-term bullish macro structure despite recent corrections.
  2. Current price action near $12.57 sits at a critical decision point, testing key support levels.
  3. A potential move toward $46 per coin could occur if LINK resumes its historical accumulation-to-impulse cycles.

Chainlink has been navigating a broad uptrending channel since mid-2023, with the price repeatedly finding support on pullbacks before advancing higher. The weekly charts demonstrate one thing clearly: periods of ranging followed by rapid and strong upward movements.

These areas to the side are re-accumulation and not distribution; thus, the large buyers will absorb the supply before a price rise. Towards the end of 2023, the LINK network left the long accumulation zone and rose approximately 138% in value.

Subsequently, there was a correction, and the token maintained itself above the rising trend line and initiated another strong trend in 2024 to reach $31 and rally by 142% from the last base. A strong peak was avoided as every peak was accompanied by the rising resistance line, creating a rising channel.

Chainlink Faces Broad Accumulation After Price Drop

Moving into 2025, Chainlink has continued within a broad trading range since prices were unable to sustain at higher levels. LINK is currently at $12.57, which is a critical level at the 0% Fibonacci retracement level of the latest movement. Historically, this level has played a pivotal role in identifying whether the trend will continue or get worse.

The Zeierman Range Oscillator, at -86, has considerable selling pressure and is oversold. There can be a temporary correction, but to turn around the trend, prices need to return to higher demand zones. There have been some quick drops with steep wicks, which have been promptly reversed. This is more indicative of a liquidation sweep, rather than a trend reversal.

However, the reversals have been held back below earlier resistance levels, indicating buyers are still nervous. To be positive, it is crucial to hold above the $14-$15 level and break above the $16-$18 range, which was a support level that has now become a resistance level.

Healthy Market Structure Supports Gains

If LINK maintains its trend of gradual accumulation and sudden increases, it could rise close to the top channel around $46. This would represent around 270% growth from the low points, just like in the past phases. Analysts are optimistic about the overall trend, which is showing normal corrective movements and smooth increases.

3 Paradoxes of Altcoin Season in September

The post 3 Paradoxes of Altcoin Season in September appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Analyses and data indicate that the crypto market is experiencing its most active altcoin season since early 2025, with many altcoins outperforming Bitcoin. However, behind this excitement lies a paradox. Most retail investors remain uneasy as their portfolios show little to no profit. This article outlines the main reasons behind this situation. Altcoin Market Cap Rises but Dominance Shrinks Sponsored TradingView data shows that the TOTAL3 market cap (excluding BTC and ETH) reached a new high of over $1.1 trillion in September. Yet the share of OTHERS (excluding the top 10) has declined since 2022, now standing at just 8%. OTHERS Dominance And TOTAL3 Capitalization. Source: TradingView. In past cycles, such as 2017 and 2021, TOTAL3 and OTHERS.D rose together. That trend reflected capital flowing not only into large-cap altcoins but also into mid-cap and low-cap ones. The current divergence shows that capital is concentrated in stablecoins and a handful of top-10 altcoins such as SOL, XRP, BNB, DOG, HYPE, and LINK. Smaller altcoins receive far less liquidity, making it hard for their prices to return to levels where investors previously bought. This creates a situation where only a few win while most face losses. Retail investors also tend to diversify across many coins instead of adding size to top altcoins. That explains why many portfolios remain stagnant despite a broader market rally. Sponsored “Position sizing is everything. Many people hold 25–30 tokens at once. A 100x on a token that makes up only 1% of your portfolio won’t meaningfully change your life. It’s better to make a few high-conviction bets than to overdiversify,” analyst The DeFi Investor said. Altcoin Index Surges but Investor Sentiment Remains Cautious The Altcoin Season Index from Blockchain Center now stands at 80 points. This indicates that over 80% of the top 50 altcoins outperformed…
