- ChainLink (LINK) price dropped after a recent rally, with traders taking profits.

- Despite the dip, analysts expect LINK could return to $25 and potentially target $30.

Chainlink (LINK) experienced a price decrease on Friday as some traders sold holdings following recent gains. This shift followed news that the U.S. Department of Commerce will use Chainlink technology to support placing government macroeconomic data on blockchain, according to Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick.
The partnership with the U.S. government was viewed as a positive sign for LINK holders and the wider cryptocurrency market. Analysts observed that LINK traded around $23 after breaking a long-term price pattern, suggesting that further increases could follow. The cryptocurrency’s relative strength index (RSI) was reported at 52, which analysts say points to continued positive momentum without being overbought. Additionally, the moving average convergence divergence (MACD) indicator is leveling off, hinting at a potential change in trend.
Market experts referenced in the article expect LINK’s current dip to be brief, with price targets of $25 and $30 possible in the near term. Forecasts suggest that the coin could retest its all-time high of $50. If momentum continues, LINK could reach new highs, with some projections extending to $150.
Further support for upward movement could come from the launch of a spot ETF (exchange-traded fund) for Chainlink, if approved. The article notes that several prominent cryptocurrencies, including LINK, are awaiting ETF decisions from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Approval could benefit not only LINK but also the wider market, with potential gains for Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other altcoins.
Recent developments also highlighted growing use cases for tokenization and decentralized finance platforms. Other blockchains, such as Cardano, aim to attract institutional investors seeking decentralized frameworks for digital asset management.
