After losing a key support level earlier this week, Chainlink (LINK) has surged 24% from the recent lows to lead Friday’s crypto market. Some analysts suggested that a rebound could be around the corner as whales continue to bet on the cryptocurrency.
Chainlink Recovers Critical Support
On Friday, Chainlink surged over 10% to turn the $14 resistance into support again. The cryptocurrency lost this crucial level on Monday following the recent crypto market crash, which saw Bitcoin (BTC) fall to its lowest price in months.
During the correction, LINK dropped to a four-month low at $11.71, retesting its post-election breakout levels for the first time since late November. Over the past three days, the token hovered between the $12.5-$13.5 price zone, failing to break above the range’s upper boundary and retest the $14 mark until today.
It’s worth noting that this level has been a critical support during LINK’s past rallies, serving as a key breakout and bounce point in the previous cycle, Q1 2024’s high, and the post-US election pump. Moreover, whenever this level has been lost, it has led to long accumulation periods for the cryptocurrency.
After today’s surge, LINK has reached a high of $14.71 before retracing to the $14.4-$14.5 price range over the past few hours. Crypto analyst Ali Martinez noted that holding its current level “could set the stage for a rebound to $24.”
As Martinez has pointed out, Chainlink has been in an ascending parallel channel since July 2023, moving between the pattern’s upper and lower boundary over the last year and a half. LINK surged to the channel’s upper trendline every time it retested the lower zone before dropping back, repeating the cycle.
Based on this, the recent recovery of the parallel channel’s lower range could send the cryptocurrency to the mid-zone of the pattern before a climb to the upper boundary. “A Spike in buying pressure at the current levels can help Chainlink rebound to the upper boundary at $45,” the analyst explained.
Is LINK Poised For A Reversal?
Notably, whales had bought over 3 million LINK in five days, Martinez pointed out on Tuesday, and online reports revealed that an address has continued to purchase Chainlink during the rest of the week.
Lookonchain recently reported that a large-scale address has “spent 12.1 million USDC to buy 863,174 LINK at $14,” holding a total of 1.07 million tokens, valued at $15.53 million. Additionally, the address has a long position on LINK, worth $31 million.
Analyst AMCrypto Alex pointed out that LINK remained in its long-term uptrend channel despite Tuesday’s low. However, he considers there is a high chance that the token will retest the $10 mark before the bottom formation.
Meanwhile, trader Crypto Rand suggested that Chainlink is ready to bounce as “LINK marines are getting ready for the bull reversal.” The market watcher pointed out the cryptocurrency has been forming a falling wedge pattern since the start of 2025, and the $14 support recovery is “pushing for the breakout.”
A breakout from the pattern’s upper trendline, which is around the $14.5 mark, could propel the token’s price to a 30% surge near the $20 barrier.
As of this writing, LINK is trading at $14.51, an 11.6% surge in the daily timeframe.

Rubmar is a writer and translator who has been a crypto enthusiast for the past four years. Her goal as a writer is to create informative, complete, and easily understandable pieces accessible to those entering the crypto space. After learning about cryptocurrencies in 2019, Rubmar became curious about the world of possibilities the industry offered, quickly learning that financial freedom was at the palm of her hand with the developing technology.
From a young age, Rubmar was curious about how languages work, finding special interest in wordplay and the peculiarities of dialects. Her curiosity grew as she became an avid reader in her teenage years. She explored freedom and new words through her favorite books, which shaped her view of the world. Rubmar acquired the necessary skills for in-depth research and analytical thinking at university, where she studied Literature and Linguistics. Her studies have given her a sharp perspective on several topics and allowed her to turn every stone in her investigations.
In 2019, she first dipped her toes in the crypto industry when a friend introduced her to Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies, but it wasn’t until 2020 that she started to dive into the depth of the industry. As Rubmar began to understand the mechanics of the crypto sphere, she saw a new world yet to be explored.
At the beginning of her crypto voyage, she discovered a new system that allowed her to have control over her finances. As a young adult of the 21st century, Rubmar has faced the challenges of the traditional banking system and the restrictions of fiat money.
After the failure of her home country’s economy, the limitations of traditional finances became clear. The bureaucratic, outdated structure made her feel hopeless and powerless amid an aggressive and distorted system created by hyperinflation. However, learning about decentralization and self-custody opened a realm of opportunities. Cryptocurrencies allowed her to experience financial control for the first time and expand her financial education.
Moreover, the peculiar nature of the crypto community sparked Rubmar’s curiosity about the other layers of the industry. As a result, she found a particular interest in discovering the diverse perspectives of investors, market watchers, experts, and developers. Her attempts to better understand the crypto space made her realize the strong links of the community with other industries, enriching her perspective of the sector. As someone who spends most of her day online, Rubmar enjoys finding the points where the crypto world meets with her other passions and hobbies –or her favorite memes.
In her free time, she usually finds joy in different art forms. As a child, she enlisted in every extra-curricular activity in her hometown, including music classes, dancing, jewelry making, and the local chorus. Despite her many attempts to learn different instruments, Rubmar only knows how to play the xylophone, which she played for 7 years in her school’s marching band.
She also has a passion for learning new languages and cultures, having set the goal to learn another six languages – currently attempting to learn Italian and Korean. Scrapbooking, paper crafting, and bookbinding are her biggest interests outside of work, constantly taking classes and attending workshops to learn new techniques. The rest of her free time is spent stressing over football matches and transfer market news or feeding cats –hers or stray.
In summary, Rubmar seeks to present entertaining and educational pieces to be enjoyed by everybody, aiming to report on the latest news and offer a unique perspective while adding a meme or a pun whenever possible.
