Chainlink (LINK) continues to outshine the top 10 crypto projects by market cap, despite sitting at 14th on the rankings. While the top 10 projects are going red in the daily charts, LINK is green across the board and continues to surge amid bullish trends and strong development activity. Now, analysts are projecting a new breakthrough, anticipating Chainlink to hit as high as $50, an over 100% surge from the current price.
LINK has surged by 75% in the previous month. Its price has also risen by 58% since December 2023., with momentum not slowing down. Entering 2025, crypto investors are eying the blockchain network’s native cryptocurrency as a potential must-have. Chainlink has already broken through since December, riding the bullish crypto market run. However, the asset is forming an interesting pattern on the daily charts, signaling further gains on the way.
A Potential 100% Price Climb for LINK?
One crypto analyst has expressed optimism about the Chainlink price revisiting its former peak of $50 in a new price prediction. Clifton Fx’s prediction was shared alongside a detailed price chart highlighting LINK’s historic performance, including its 2021 surge.
The tweet underscores a promising rally for LINK, suggesting a breakout from a classic ascending triangle pattern. The analyst shows the price steadily climbing, supported by an upward trendline. The resistance level appears to have been breached, signaling potential upside momentum. Additionally, Clifton Fx anticipates a rise of approximately 26%. The breakout scenario aligns with bullish market sentiments, suggesting a continuation of the upward trajectory.

According to CoinCodex’s price prediction, Chainlink (LINK) will continue to rally over the next few months.

Why is Chainlink Surging?
LINK’s latest rally could be due to investors moving their funds into altcoins. Several altcoins hit new all-time highs recently. BNB, Solana (SOL), and TRON (TRX) hit new peaks over the last few weeks. Bitcoin (BTC) seems to be stagnating below $100,000. Investors may be moving their funds to other crypto assets to book profits. According to Santiment, there is a very low retail frenzy around LINK’s latest rally. This development could mean that the rally will sustain itself.
The project also has plans to expand into the traditional finance (TradeFi) realm. Chainlink CEO Sergey Nazarov stated, “I see this long list of initial capital markets users and early adopters of multiple Chainlink services as just the beginning.“

If Bitcoin (BTC) reclaims its all-time high above $100,000, LINK’s price could further surge. Thus, the $50 mark could be reached much sooner than anticipated.
