Analysts Project $36 to $350 Targets for Chainlink Price
Besides fundamental support to the price action, analysts are seeing bullish indicators in the weekly and monthly charts.
Cantonese Cat posted a technical analysis showing that LINK might have bottomed at $17 in a channel with resistance between $22 and $24. Breaching resistance on the weekly chart could send LINK toward $36.
Sustained upward movement above the green line, trending up after the $36 resistance, could take LINK to the $80 level. After that, another channel awaits, and traders should keep an eye out to see how things play out.
Analyst Klaus SchwAPU posted even more bullish targets for the Chainlink price. In a monthly chart shared on Oct. 20, he projected that LINK could climb to $350 in the coming months. He used the 2020–2021 rally as a parameter for the forecast.
The combination of whale accumulation, institutional conference participation, and strategic partnerships positioned Chainlink for continued momentum.
Additionally, the charts provide a positive outlook for the LINK price. As a result, the token remains supported by both technical and fundamental factors as new wallets continue pulling tokens off exchanges.
