After our previous update on Chainlink earlier this month, where we noted the challenges LINK faced in breaking a year-long descending trendline and our technical analysis suggested a potential bottom at $6.95 followed by an 11% rise, the crypto market landscape has seen significant shifts.

In the wake of a week dominated by Bitcoin’s positive performance, Chainlink (LINK) has emerged as one of the standout performers in the crypto market over the weekend.
