Key highlights:
- Chainlink is approaching $15 after a 17.96% move on the latest 2-week candle
- Whale wallets holding 1M+ LINK rose 25%, with large holders also adding 10.36M LINK
- A break above $15 could open the path toward $20 and $25, with $10 as key support
The Chainlink price is entering an interesting part of its recovery. LINK is trading around $13.22 after the latest 2-week candle climbed 17.96%, moving from a low of $10.62 to a high of $13.53.
Jesse Olson says LINK has four more days before the 2-week chart can confirm a new buy signal. The green trend dot has not appeared yet, so the signal is still pending. That gives traders a clear level to watch, especially with LINK now close to the $15 resistance zone.
The Chainlink price is getting close to $15
We pulled up the LINK chart Olson shared. The bigger picture shows how far it’s come from the lows. Chainlink dropped to $5 in 2023, then recovered to $25 in 2024. It fell back to $7.50 in 2025.
Since then, it’s climbed to around $13.22, putting it back near a level that could decide its next big move. The first resistance is $15. If the LINK price breaks above that, the next targets are $20 and $25.
A move through $25 would put $30, $35, and $40 on the radar, followed by $45, $50, and the previous high near $55. There is also a clear downside structure. A drop below $10 would expose $7.50, followed by the $5 area.
The wider technical picture also remains constructive. LINK is trading above its major moving averages. The 200-day sits around $12.33, and the 100-day is near $12.79. The RSI is around 62, solid momentum, but not near the 70 overbought line yet.
Whales are accumulating and LINK’s connection to financial infrastructure
The on-chain numbers give the Chainlink price another factor to watch. Santiment recorded 125 wallets holding at least 1 million LINK as of April 2, 2026. A year earlier, that number was 100, so a 25% increase in wallets holding that amount.
CoinMarketCap also reported that large holders scooped up about 10.36 million LINK, worth roughly $120 million, within 96 hours after the token dropped 17%. That doesn’t guarantee another rally. But it shows big holders have been adding exposure even during weak stretches.
DTCC announced that its Collateral AppChain will use Chainlink’s Runtime Environment and data standard for near real-time collateral management across financial markets and blockchains. The project is targeting a Q4 2026 launch.
Bottomline has also partnered with Chainlink to support cross-chain and cross-border payments. Bottomline says its platform processes more than $16 trillion in payments each year for more than 600 banks.
Can the Chainlink price break $15?
The $15 level is the next major test. A confirmed break above it would put $20 and $25 within reach on the chart. Above $25, LINK has resistance at $30, $35, $40, $45, $50 and finally around $55.
If buyers fail to clear $15, the first level to watch on the downside is $10. Losing that support could send the Chainlink price toward $7.50 and then $5. CoinCodex’s 1-month LINK price prediction places the price at $15.38, implying that analysts expect the price to trade modestly above current levels over the coming weeks if the recovery continues.
For now, LINK has several pieces of data working in the same direction: a 17.96% 2-week move, higher whale holdings, a price above its major moving averages and new institutional infrastructure involving Chainlink. The next big question is whether the pending 2-week buy signal becomes confirmed and whether LINK can finally break through $15.
