At the time of the report, Chainlink was trading at around $12, a figure cited in the piece as the token’s current market price within the period covered by the report.

In 2026, Chainlink’s price fell from about $14.40 to $7.00 in June, then rebounded to trade between $11 and $13 later in the year. July 2026 saw a 13.5% increase and August posted a 38.2% gain, with an intraday high above $12.50. The rebound followed the mid-year low and preceded the late-summer gains.
A golden cross occurred in late August 2026, with the 50-day moving average near $9.60 and the 200-day moving average near $9.00. The late-August technical crossover coincided with the reported July and August price increases. The report identifies a first major hurdle around $12.50–$14.40 as a key technical level.
The article notes LINK’s all-time high near $52.70 in May 2021 during the 2020–2021 bull market. The report records a 2022 closing price around $5.57. Those historical levels are listed alongside the 2026 price movements in the coverage.
The article lays out an implied price progression for Chainlink that moves from $12.50 to $14.40, then to $17.50 and $20, advancing to a $27–$31 zone before reaching $35. This sequence of price levels is presented as the projected path toward the $35 target. The progression lists intermediate milestones at $14.40, $17.50, $20, and the $27–$31 band. Each step in the sequence is presented as a successive price objective.
The report identifies a first major hurdle around $12.50–$14.40 and highlights a breakout at $12.50 with an immediate target near $13. It states that clearing the $13 area would be the next short-term objective after a $12.50 breakout. The prediction notes that if price clears the $17–$18 region, the next zone of interest is $27–$31. The $17–$18 level is described as a significant intermediate barrier before the $27–$31 zone.
The coverage states that a breakout through these hurdle zones would imply price discovery and supports the plausibility of a $35 target by January 1, 2027. It presents the $35 level as an ultimate objective contingent on surpassing the listed levels. The narrative links sequential clearances of $12.50, roughly $13, and $17–$18 to the path toward the $35 projection.
