Key Insights:
- A top analyst predicts Chainlink (LINK) price at $14.50, sparking market optimism.
- Spot LINK ETFs recorded seven consecutive inflow days.
- Coinbase selected Chainlink Data Feeds to price its tokenized U.S. equities.
Chainlink price sat at around $11.50 after a 1.1% 24-hour gain, with analysts calling for more upside. One LINK price prediction identifies $14.50 as the continuation target. However, the analysis also marked two lower buying areas.
Meanwhile, LINK briefly fell to $11.09 before buyers pushed it through $11.30 and $11.40. The token then challenged $11.50, its first resistance area. Initial support sits between $11.25 and $11.30, followed by the intraday low at $11.09.
Chainlink’s market capitalization stood at $8.597 billion, while 24-hour trading volume reached $339.706 million.
However, the targets and price levels referenced in this article reflect current technical indicators and are subject to market uncertainty. Cryptocurrency prices can move sharply and unexpectedly, so investors should carefully evaluate the risks and consider seeking advice from a qualified financial professional.
Analyst Maps Two Dip-Buying Areas for Chainlink Price
Notably, Van de Poppe said he expects the wider altcoin run to continue, supporting his outlook for LINK. He placed the next upside objective at $14.50 during the coming period. However, his plan also identifies $10.50 and $9.50 as potential entry zones during any pullback.
Additionally, the analyst described LINK as substantially underestimated in a separate X post. He connected that assessment to Chainlink’s role across the onchain industry. His comments presented both lower entries as possibilities, rather than confirmed price movements.
The market data also provides context for the forecast. LINK gained 8.4% over seven days and 31% across 14 days. Moreover, it rose 33.2% over 30 days, although its one-year performance remained 52.8% lower.
Spot LINK ETFs Extend Inflow Run
Meanwhile, spot LINK exchange-traded funds recorded seven consecutive days of net inflows. The products started the week with $2.68 million in net subscriptions. That followed $13.35 million of net inflows during the previous week.
Notably, the funds now hold 1.99% of LINK’s current supply. That share equals approximately one out of every 50 LINK tokens. The seven-day sequence kept daily net flows positive throughout the reported period.
Schwab Plans Chainlink Trading as Coinbase Uses Data Feeds
Meanwhile, Charles Schwab announced plans to add Chainlink, Solana, and Avalanche to Schwab Crypto on August 27. The company expects clients to buy and sell these tokens in the coming months.
The planned additions will expand a platform that began rolling out in May 2026, initially offering Bitcoin and Ethereum trading. Schwab said the expansion reflects client demand.
Additionally, Joe Vietri, Schwab’s head of digital assets, said the additions would broaden cryptocurrency choices alongside its investing and banking services. Schwab’s planned listing could support LINK’s price if broader trading access translates into additional buying demand.
Separately, Coinbase selected Chainlink Data Feeds for its tokenized U.S. equities on Base. Coinbase said the feeds provide continuous pricing for NVDAc, METAc, AAPLc, GOOGLc, and other supported stocks.
Base-based lending markets, decentralized exchanges, and structured product platforms can access the pricing data. These protocols can also support the tokenized equities as collateral
Coinbase issues the assets as B20 tokens on Base. Each token represents a real equity security, while one underlying share backs it. Alpaca holds those shares in regulated custody under the Abu Dhabi Global Market framework. Meanwhile, Coinbase serves as the issuer, and Chainlink provides the related market data infrastructure.
