The Chainlink price has had its fair share of the early-2025 struggles, falling to a new low just above the $12 level earlier this week. The altcoin has had to contend with the widespread bearish pressure and worsening investor sentiment in the general crypto market.
Chainlink Price Overview
On Tuesday, March 11, the Chainlink price succumbed to the market-wide downward pressure that saw the largest cryptocurrency Bitcoin hit $77,000 for the first time in over four months. Other large-cap assets also suffered in this recent market downturn, with the price of Ethereum also dropping beneath $2,000.
The price of Chainlink appears to be recovering well in the past few days, making a play for $15 on Friday, March 14. In a show of strong resurgence, the altcoin ranked as one of the best daily gainers with an almost 10% positive performance on the day.
After initially crossing $14.5 earlier in the day, the Chainlink price has returned to below the psychological $14 level. As of this writing, the price of LINK stands at around $13.83, reflecting an almost 6% increase in the past 24 hours.
This single-day performance, however, was not enough to wipe off the altcoin’s loss on the weekly timeframe. According to data from CoinGecko, the LINK price is down by more than 13% in the past seven days.
Can LINK Price Climb To $16?
While the fortunes of the Chainlink price do appear to be changing, a particular price level might be crucial to its long-term trajectory. In a post on X, popular crypto analyst Ali Martinez offered insights into crucial on-chain levels for the LINK price.
This analysis revolves around the average cost basis of several LINK investors. In cost-basis analysis, the capacity of a level to serve as support or resistance depends on the total amount of coins last purchased by investors in the region.
As seen in the chart above, the size of the dot represents and directly corresponds to the number of LINK tokens acquired within a price bracket — while reflecting the strength of each level. Based on this analysis, Martinez noted that the Chainlink price faces major resistance around the $14.88 – $15 region where 15,450 investors bought 107.28 million LINK tokens (worth $1.62 billion at an average price of $15.13).
The high investor activity has led to the formation of a supply barrier around the $15.13 region. The Chainlink price is likely to witness significant selling pressure due to investors wanting to sell their tokens after returning to their cost basis, thereby hindering further price increases and leading to price pullback.
However, it is worth noting that no significant resistance levels lie beyond this $15.13 price region. Hence, investors could see the price of LINK climb to as high as $16 should it successfully breach the $15 resistance level.

Opeyemi is a proficient writer and enthusiast in the exciting and unique cryptocurrency realm. While the digital asset industry was not his first choice, he has remained absolutely drawn since making a foray into the space over two years. Now, Opeyemi takes pride in creating unique pieces unraveling the complexities of blockchain technology and sharing insights on the latest trends in the world of cryptocurrencies.
Opeyemi savors his attraction to the crypto market, which explains why he spends the better parts of his day looking through different price charts. “Looking” is a rather simple way to describe analyzing and interpreting various price patterns and chart formations. However, it appears that is not Opeyemi’s favorite part – in fact, far from it.
Being able to connect what happens on a price chart to on-chain movements and blockchain activities is what keeps Opeyemi ticking. “This emphasizes the intricacies of blockchain technology and the cryptocurrency market,” he would say. Most importantly, Opeyemi thinks of any market insights as the gospel, while recognizing that he is only a messenger.
When he is not clicking away at his keyboard, Opeyemi is most definitely listening to music, playing games, reading a book, or scrolling through X. He likes to think he is not loyal to a particular genre of music, which can be true on many days. However, the fast-rising Afrobeats genre is a staple in Opeyemi’s Spotify Daily Mix.
Meanwhile, Opeyemi is a voracious reader who enjoys a wide category of books – ranging from science fiction, fantasy, and historical, to even romance. He believes that authors like George R. R. Martin and J. K.
Rowling are the greatest of all time when it comes to putting pen to paper. Opeyemi believes his reading of the Harry Potter series twice is proof of that.
Indeed, Opeyemi enjoys spending most of his time within the four walls of his home. However, he also sometimes finds solace in the company of his friends at a bar, a restaurant, or even on a stroll. In essence, Opeyemi’s ambivert (haha! been searching for an opportunity to use the word to describe myself) nature makes him a social chameleon who is able to quickly adapt to different settings.
Opeyemi recognizes the need to constantly develop oneself in order to stay afloat in a competitive and ever-evolving market like crypto. For this reason, he is always in learning mode, ready to pick up the slightest lesson from every situation. Opeyemi is efficient and likes to deliver all that is required of him in time – he believes that “whatever is worth doing at all is worth doing well.” Hence, you will always find him striving to be better.
Ultimately, Opeyemi is a good writer and an even better person who is trying to shed light on an exciting world phenomenon – cryptocurrency. He goes to bed every day with a smile of satisfaction on his face, knowing that he has done his bit of the holy assignment – spreading the crypto gospel to the rest of the world.
