The Chainlink price has had a mixed performance since the turn of the new year, running up to $24 early on in 2025 before witnessing a severe pullback to below $20. However, the cryptocurrency appears to be recovering nicely, reflecting the improving market climate.

According to a popular crypto analyst on the social media platform X, the Chainlink price is readying for another leg up over the next few weeks. The LINK token has mostly struggled over the weekend, but this sluggishness has barely made a dent in the altcoin’s performance in the past week.

Can LINK Price Reach A New All-Time High In This Cycle?

In a Jan. 18 post on X, renowned crypto pundit Ali Martinez put forward an exciting projection for the price of Chainlink over the next few weeks. Martinez took to the social media platform to explain how the Chainlink price could grow by more than 100% in the current cycle.

This bullish prediction is based on the formation of a bullish flag on the Chainlink price chart on the four-hour timeframe. In technical analysis, the bull flag pattern is often considered a strong continuation pattern for upward price trends.

The bull flag pattern is characterized by a period of almost vertical upward price movement (the flagpole), which is then followed by a consolidation period (the flag itself). In some scenarios — as seen in the chart below, the flag could be a little tilted downward.

As highlighted by Martinez, the LINK price seems to be breaking out of the consolidation range of the bull flag. A successful close above the upper boundary of the flag could see the price of Chainlink move significantly to the upside.

The price target from the bull flag pattern is usually calculated by measuring the length of the initial flagpole and adding to the price at the breakout level. Using this method, the potential price target from this bullish setup sits around the $50 mark.

This would represent over a 100% surge for LINK from the current price point. Moreover, this potential rally could see the Chainlink token return to its all-time-high price of $52.7, which was forged in May 2021.

Chainlink Price At A Glance

After briefly reaching above the $25 level in the early hours of Saturday, January 18, Chainlink has now retraced to around $24. As of this writing, the LINK token is valued at $24.13, reflecting an almost 6% downturn in the past 24 hours. Nevertheless, the Chainlink price is up by about 20% in the last seven days, according to data from CoinGecko.

Opeyemi is a proficient writer and enthusiast in the exciting and unique cryptocurrency realm. While the digital asset industry was not his first choice, he has remained absolutely drawn since making a foray into the space over two years. Now, Opeyemi takes pride in creating unique pieces unraveling the complexities of blockchain technology and sharing insights on the latest trends in the world of cryptocurrencies.

Opeyemi savors his attraction to the crypto market, which explains why he spends the better parts of his day looking through different price charts. “Looking” is a rather simple way to describe analyzing and interpreting various price patterns and chart formations. However, it appears that is not Opeyemi’s favorite part - in fact, far from it.

Being able to connect what happens on a price chart to on-chain movements and blockchain activities is what keeps Opeyemi ticking. “This emphasizes the intricacies of blockchain technology and the cryptocurrency market,” he would say. Most importantly, Opeyemi thinks of any market insights as the gospel, while recognizing that he is only a messenger.

When he is not clicking away at his keyboard, Opeyemi is most definitely listening to music, playing games, reading a book, or scrolling through X. He likes to think he is not loyal to a particular genre of music, which can be true on many days. However, the fast-rising Afrobeats genre is a staple in Opeyemi’s Spotify Daily Mix.

Meanwhile, Opeyemi is a voracious reader who enjoys a wide category of books - ranging from science fiction, fantasy, and historical, to even romance. He believes that authors like George R. R. Martin and J. K.
Rowling are the greatest of all time when it comes to putting pen to paper. Opeyemi believes his reading of the Harry Potter series twice is proof of that.

Indeed, Opeyemi enjoys spending most of his time within the four walls of his home. However, he also sometimes finds solace in the company of his friends at a bar, a restaurant, or even on a stroll. In essence, Opeyemi’s ambivert (haha! been searching for an opportunity to use the word to describe myself) nature makes him a social chameleon who is able to quickly adapt to different settings.

Opeyemi recognizes the need to constantly develop oneself in order to stay afloat in a competitive and ever-evolving market like crypto. For this reason, he is always in learning mode, ready to pick up the slightest lesson from every situation. Opeyemi is efficient and likes to deliver all that is required of him in time - he believes that “whatever is worth doing at all is worth doing well.” Hence, you will always find him striving to be better.

Ultimately, Opeyemi is a good writer and an even better person who is trying to shed light on an exciting world phenomenon - cryptocurrency. He goes to bed every day with a smile of satisfaction on his face, knowing that he has done his bit of the holy assignment - spreading the crypto gospel to the rest of the world.
