The Chainlink (LINK) cryptocurrency is up 13% in the last seven days, signaling a resurgence in price and investor interest in the altcoin. Volume is increasing, volatility is picking up, and LINK may be on its way to reclaiming $16. Could it hit the mark as soon as this week?

LINK is up following its announcement of a new partnership with credit card provider Mastercard. Now back above $13, investors hope that July will prove bullish. The current price charts for the Chainlink cryptocurrency reveals a promising pattern. Indeed, LINK bulls are looking at $12.80 as a new lower resistance, hinting that LINK’s bottom is getting higher. As a result, the window for growth is going, and Chainlink could target a range in the $14-$16 area in a matter of days.

Meanwhile, other Chainlink (LINK) analysts are even more bullish. Crypto analyst Henry Lord of Alts says that Chainlink has endured months of downtrend and silence, but a structural shift is now underway. His analysis highlights that the long-standing downtrend has been broken, and LINK has entered a clear accumulation and consolidation phase. “These zones often come before the loudest moves,” Henry notes in a post to X. “If this kicks in, a breakout toward $25–30 wouldn’t be surprising for me.” LINK’s price now sits above the 50-day simple moving average (SMA), acting as short-term support at $13.50. If this holds, it could spur a rally for the Chainlink (LINK) cryptocurrency entering July like many analysts forecast.

Chainlink is also making moves on the whale front, with large crypto holders moving around their LINK holdings. Last weekend, one token unlock saw 17.875 million LINK worth $149 million deposited into Binance, fueling the transfer surge further. The timing of these whale moves aligns with a broad market sell-off, which led to $458 million in crypto liquidations. Typically, the whale’s moves hint at bullish optimism for a crypto asset. As a result, investors are hoping that LINK has bottomed out and could be preparing for a sharp breakout

Usually very conservative, analysts at CoinCodex back up the idea of LINK surging this summer. While the analysts don’t project LINK hitting $14 by July, they forecast the asset to reach that mark come August. “According to our current Chainlink price prediction, the price of Chainlink is predicted to rise by 3.95% and reach $ 13.89 by July 29, 2025.” By the end of this week, the analysts project a falloff for LINK back towards $13.15.
