Chainlink (LINK): What Can Spark a Rally to $88?

In the past week, Chainlink LINK has surged by over 15%. The rally has prompted analysts to revise and heighten their price forecasts for the altcoin. One particular price prediction for LINK has the asset beating out its current all-time high of $52.88 in the next bull cycle. That would require the asset to climb a steep 60% from its current price, a tough but still possible task.

Notable crypto analyst Javon Marks predicts that LINK will move up to about $47.15 and ultimately to $88.26 in the long term. In a recent analysis, Marks says that LINK is set to break out of a long-term descending resistance trendline. Its recent price points signal that the asset is setting higher-lows. Its upward climb in the past month (+37%) signals that the trend may continue, setting up a test of its current ATH in the coming months.

Furthermore, per Marks, LINK has also formed a Cup and Handle structure. This is generally considered a bullish long-term pattern for cryptocurrencies. If LINK maintains trading above the $20 mark with high trade volume, the next resistance areas will be at the $28 and $50 levels. Currently, its TV is up over 90%, with just above $1 billion worth of LINK being moved amongst smaller investors and whales.

LINK’s latest upswing comes amid the project announcing the launch of the Chainlink Reserve. The reserve is designed to support long-term growth and sustainability of the Chainlink Network. The reserve will accumulate LINK tokens using off-chain revenue from large enterprises. The early stage of the reserve has already accumulated over $1 million worth of LINK. The team does not anticipate any withdrawals from the reserve over several years.

If the market rally continues, LINK could breach the $25 mark over the coming weeks. A rate cut could lead to a prolonged market rally to $52 and perhaps 88 as Marks forecasts. However, economic uncertainties and the ongoing trade wars may present substantial barriers.
