Chainlink (LINK) prices have dropped by 5.63% in the past seven days, amid a broader, volatile market movement. Nevertheless, the altcoin maintains a healthy 20.88% on its monthly chart, suggesting that a significant portion of recent market entrants are holding in profits. Looking ahead, prominent analyst Ali Martinez has outlined a potential market opportunity for a mega price rally.
LINK Price Pattern Suggests Parabolic Surge After Final Retest
In an X post on September 6, Martinez postulates that Chainlink may be on the verge of one of its most significant price moves after tracking a long-term symmetrical triangle pattern on LINK’s weekly chart that suggests a short-term correction could pave the way for a breakout to unprecedented highs.
Chainlink presently trades around $22 following last week’s decline. However, Martinez sees potential for bullish momentum, especially if the token retests the $16 region in the coming weeks. According to the seasoned analyst, a retracement to this support zone could present the “most bullish setup” for LINK holders, providing the launchpad for a multi-month rally.
Notably, this analysis mainly rests on Fibonacci retracement and extension levels plotted against LINK’s multi-year price action. The $16 area coincides with the 0.5 retracement level, often regarded as a critical point where accumulation and renewed buying pressure can emerge. From there, the chart projects a series of higher highs and higher lows that could carry LINK beyond $31.88, $52.30, and eventually into triple-digit territory near $100.
Specifically, the Fibonacci 1.272 extension level points to $98.15 as a potential peak for the breakout. This would represent a nearly 350% increase from current levels and over 500% from the suggested $16 retest zone. Such a move would also mark a new all-time high, surpassing LINK’s previous record of $52.88 set in May 2021.
Meanwhile, the triangle consolidation, spanning from 2021 through 2025, highlights LINK’s tightening price structure and diminishing volatility. Historically, prolonged consolidations often precede explosive moves in either direction. For LINK bulls, the key is maintaining support above the $16–$17 range and eventually breaching resistance around $30. Importantly, failure to hold the $16 level could invalidate the bullish thesis, potentially dragging LINK back toward lower support zones near $12 or even $9.
LINK Price Outlook
At press time, LINK trades at $22.30 after a slight 0.54% decline in the past day. The asset’s daily trading volume is also down by 58.12% and is now valued at $567.14 million. According to Coincodex, LINK investors are presently expressing a neutral sentiment, as indicated by a Fear & Greed Index of 48. Notably, short-term analysis suggests the altcoin could trade at $21.71 in the five days, followed by a potential rebound to $23.71 in the next month.
