“The oracle token outperformed most major cryptocurrencies as US investors gained ETF access to LINK for the first time.”, — write: www.coindesk.com
The Grayscale Chainlink Trust ETF (GLNK), converted from a closed-end fund and traded on NYSE Arca, brought in $37 million in net inflows on its first day on Tuesday, according to SoSoValue data. The launch marks a milestone for institutional adoption of Chainlink, giving traditional investors direct exposure to LINK through brokerage accounts.
Trading activity around LINK spiked sharply with trading volume jumping 183% above the 24-hour average, peaking at 6.71 million tokens traded at 14:00 UTC as LINK briefly hit $14.63 before pulling back, CoinDesk Research’s market insight tool noted.
Despite the rejection at session highs, the token maintained an ascending trendline from its $13.35 base, logging consecutive higher lows throughout the day and maintaining a bullish structure, the tool suggested.
LINK outperformed most top-20 cryptocurrencies, aided by both the ETF catalyst and a broader rotation into tokens with clear utility narratives. The CoinDesk 5 Index also rose 3.3% on the day, although LINK’s gains exceeded the benchmark by over 4 percentage points.
Key technical levels to watch:
- Support/Resistance: Support holds at $14.28 with psychological backing at $14.40; resistance at $14.63.
- Volume Analysis: 183% volume surge at session high signals institutional participation and resistance testing.
- Chart Patterns: Consolidation between $14,395–$14,445 could form a launchpad for a renewed breakout.
- Targets & Risk/Reward: Near-term target at $14.63, with broader upside possible if buyers hold above $14.28.
