After successfully breaking above the 200-day moving average, LINK has maintained its upward trajectory despite short-term resistance.

Exchange outflows remain consistently negative, with $11.27 million worth of LINK exiting exchanges this week following $55.2 million in outflows last week. This pattern of decreasing exchange balances typically signals investor accumulation rather than selling pressure.

Meanwhile, Chainlink's technology continues gaining traction in the DeFi sector, with recent integrations including JPMorgan, Ondo Finance, and Solana mainnet.

Analysts project LINK could reach $20 in the near term, with longer-term forecasts suggesting potential growth to $50 by 2028 and $100 by 2030 as adoption of its Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP) expands across the blockchain ecosystem.
