A Chainlink LINKR$ 135.59 is recording its best quarterly performance since the first quarter of 2021, with a rise of 82.5% since July 1st. Currently trading at US$ 24.50, the token faces a key resistance at US$ 25.30, with a monthly close above this level marking its highest since October 2021.
The bullish momentum is supported by a long-term technical structure. On the monthly chart, the $LINK has formed a large cup with handle pattern that extends over 45 months, or approximately 1,370 days. The pattern is close to confirmation, with resistance at the neck around US$ 25.30.
A decisive monthly close above this threshold could trigger a breakout. At the same time, LINK has regained a bullish position above the 25 and 50-month moving averages, reinforcing the positive trend.
The long-term target for the price of LINK could reach up to $125, which would represent a potential high of 415% compared to current levels. Market analysts also highlight short-term targets.
Trader Javon Marks points to $47.15 as an immediate level of interest, suggesting the token could record a 90% increase in the short term. Additionally, Marks cites $88.26, which would represent gains of more than 255% compared to current prices.
On-chain data further reinforces the bullish scenario. LINK reserves on exchanges fell to 158 million tokens on September 15, the lowest level since June 2022. The reduction in supply on exchanges is often interpreted as a sign of decreasing selling pressure, potentially strengthening the bullish rally.
Why $100 for LINK seems increasingly plausible
The outlook for $LINK at $100 is being strengthened by institutional adoption of real-world asset (RWA) tokenization and the protocol's dominance in the blockchain oracle sector.
Cointelegraph reported that Chainlink recently partnered with UBS and DigiFT in a pilot in Hong Kong to automate tokenized fund operations. The initiative aims to simplify the signing, redemption, and settlement of tokenized products using Chainlink's Digital Transfer Agent contracts.
With Hong Kong encouraging innovation in the tokenization of RWAs, the project reinforces Chainlink's role as critical infrastructure to connect traditional finance to blockchain.
At the same time, Chainlink continues to dominate the oracle landscape. According to Token Metrics, Chainlink secures over 83% of the total value secured (TVS) of Ethereum and about 67% to 68% of the overall oracle market, safeguarding over $93 billion in on-chain value.
The network has already facilitated $25 trillion in transactions to date, supports over 2,000 active data feeds, and operates the CCIP on more than 60 blockchains. The throughput of data flows surged 777% in the first quarter of 2025, reflecting the acceleration of adoption.
With 6% of the circulating supply of $LINK staked and the tokenization of RWAs gaining momentum, a $66 billion market, Chainlink's utility supports its current target of a potential future value of $100 per token.
