Chainlink’s LINK token climbed 4.17% on Tuesday, moving close to the $14 level after clearing several resistance zones, supported by rising institutional appetite for oracle-related crypto assets. CoinDesk Research’s technical model indicates that if current momentum continues, LINK could advance toward the $14.50 region.
The token’s performance stood out in a mixed market, outperforming both bitcoin (BTC$84,842.08) and the broader CoinDesk 5 Index. The breakout above $13.58 was accompanied by a strong surge in trading activity, with volume jumping 95% above the daily average—evidence of steady accumulation rather than short-term speculative flows, according to the research tool.
LINK’s recent price action has formed a series of higher lows and structured breakouts, creating a consistent upward pattern. A firm move through the psychological $14 barrier would open the path toward the next resistance band at $14.25–$14.50, assuming buyers maintain pressure.
