Chainlink whales have added over 40 million LINK in the past year, signaling renewed market confidence.

LINK price holds above $17, showing potential for a bullish reversal toward $20.

Analysts see $25 as the breakout level that could drive a run toward $100.

Chainlink has seen a notable wave of accumulation among large holders, a trend that often signals long-term confidence in the asset’s future. 

According to Santiment, wallets holding between 100,000 and 1 million LINK have steadily increased their positions over the past year.

In the last 12 months alone, these investors have accumulated around 40 million LINK, marking a 28% rise and adding 103 new addresses to the network. 

Over the past six months, the same group collected an additional 12.9 million LINK, up 7.6% with 30 new addresses joining.

Even in shorter time frames, accumulation remains consistent, 8.7 million LINK in the last three months and 2.8 million LINK over the past month, with modest address growth.

This steady build-up among mid-tier holders indicates that confidence in Chainlink’s long-term fundamentals remains strong, especially as the project continues to anchor decentralized oracle solutions across multiple blockchains.

Chainlink Price Stability Points Toward a Bullish Setup

At $17.33, Chainlink has held a stable range with a structure around the $17 area. According to analyst RISK, it appears that the re-test at the $17.0 level has been successful for LINK, which is now indicating a possible corrective bounce.

According to market structure, a higher low could be in the making, which is commonly a bullish pattern preceding higher continuation.

If the momentum in the buy trades continues, reaching the price targets of $18.5-$20 in the near term would be possible for LINK. The recent pullback at the start of the month could have separated the temporary traders from the long-term holders.

As explained by the analyst, breaking out over $17.8 would signify a bullish downtrend, while sustaining levels over $16.8 would signify a positive short-term trend.

Analysts Eye Long-Term Upside Toward $100

In addition to short-term profit, hope is also rising for its overall market potential in the industry. Analyst Ali pointed out that any breakthrough at the next level beyond $25 could ignite a strong bull run for a possible long-term goal at $100 for LINK.

With whales actively accumulating and market sentiment turning positive, LINK’s setup mirrors early stages of previous uptrends.

As the general cryptocurrency market becomes more stable, the distinctive role played by Chainlink in the Smart Contract industry could continue to attract more institutional capital, cementing its position in the top digital currencies in terms of market capitalization.
