The cryptocurrency industry has experienced challenging market conditions since the second inauguration of U.S. pro-crypto President Donald Trump. The overall demand for stablecoins has gradually increased in the past few weeks, as short-term holders find themselves under increasing financial pressure

The wider altcoin market has followed Bitcoin (BTC) price in correction mode after the flagship coin was rejected above $88k in the past few days. Chainlink, a large-cap altcoin with a fully diluted valuation of about $14.7 billion and a 24-hour average trading volume of about $451 million, dropped nearly 6 percent in the past 24 hours to trade about $14.75 on Friday, March 28, during the early trading session for the Western financial markets.

Chainlink Price Expectations in Coming Weeks

Since the beginning of 2025, Chainlink price has been trapped in a falling logarithmic trend, coupled with lower highs and lower lows in the daily timeframe. As a result, the LINK price is likely to retest the lower border of a rising channel, around $13, in the coming weeks.

However, if the LINK price consistently closes above the resistance level of around $16, the bearish sentiment will be invalidated. Chainlink buyers must, however, flip the 100 and 200 Simple Moving Averages (SMA) into bullish sentiment to invalidate further downside risk.
