  • Chainlink price prediction stays bearish below $11.82, with $11.53 the next support
  • LG CNS, lead contractor on the Bank of Korea’s Project Hangang, will add Chainlink to its institutional platform
  • BSCN says more than $15B in crypto assets moved to Chainlink’s CCIP in Q3 2026

Chainlink price prediction for October 25 stays bearish below $11.82, the level LINK needs to reclaim after falling out of its recent trading range.

LINK has broken below the $11.82 low of its CRT range and trades at $11.63, down 1.61% today, about 1% above the 100-day EMA at $11.53, so that average decides whether the drop continues on Sunday. 

CRT, or candle range theory, marks the high and low of one candle and watches for a sweep of one side followed by a move to the other. Here the range comes from the October 15 candle, and LINK swept above its $12.58 high on October 16 and again on October 21 before falling back inside it. 

Yesterday’s candle closed at $11.82, right on the range low, and today’s trade below it extends the move down. Price also sits under the 20-day EMA at $12.46 and the 50-day at $12.35, with the 100-day and 200-day at $11.53 and $10.98 beneath it. RSI at 38.11 is below its average of 43.43 and well under the neutral 50 mark, so momentum is still falling.

LINK looks more likely to close below $11.82 today and test $11.53 on Sunday, and a close back above $11.82 would put $12.35 in play.

Chainlink’s Sergey Nazarov said in an interview with The Rollup that more chains and more advanced smart contracts mean more demand for what Chainlink provides. In his view, a chain on its own can mint and send a token, but anything involving outside data, cross-chain movement, identity, or compliance needs a layer above it, and Chainlink is that layer. He said advanced contracts are still at an early to early-mid stage and compared today to DeFi’s first year in production.

  • DTCC example: Collateral management on DTCC’s app chain is not settled until the obligation closes on both Ethereum and the app chain, a tie-out he said Chainlink handles in one flow.
  • Digital twins: Rules still require final settlement off-chain in many cases, so on-chain records must sync back to traditional accounting systems. He expects that to change as laws change.
  • AI agents: He said CRE, Chainlink’s off-chain compute layer, is already built for AI use and could become the interface layer if agents start handling tokenized cash.

BSCN said in an X post that Chainlink’s third quarter included the following. CCIP is Chainlink’s cross-chain protocol.

Chainlink and LG CNS, the technology arm of LG Group, announced a strategic partnership on Thursday, according to BSCN. LG CNS will add Chainlink’s tools for moving data and assets across blockchains to its digital asset platform for Korean institutions, and the two will work together on Korean stablecoins and local technical standards. 

LG CNS is the lead contractor for the Bank of Korea’s Project Hangang, a digital currency pilot whose first phase covered about 80,000 customers across seven banks.

Bullish Case, Target: $12.35

LINK closes back above the $11.82 CRT low and holds it into Sunday, which would put price back inside the range and open the 50-day EMA at $12.35, with the 20-day at $12.46 just above it. The LG CNS partnership would give buyers fresh news to point to on that move.

Bearish Case, Risk Level: $11.53 (100-Day EMA)

LINK closes today below the $11.82 CRT low and slides toward the 100-day EMA at $11.53 on Sunday. A close below that level would expose the 200-day EMA at $10.98, about 6% below today’s price.
