Chainlink has pulled back nearly 5% this week but is holding above a key support zone as on-chain data and institutional activity point to continued interest in the token.
LINK is trading at $10.22 on Thursday. The price has dipped from recent highs but remains above the 100-day EMA at $9.91 and the 50-day EMA near $9.55.
Crypto analyst Rand Group posted on X this week, saying the “$LINK marines remain strong, solid breakout, pushing towards the $15 range.” The comment came as LINK held its technical support levels and institutional inflows continued to build.

The RSI is just above 60 and the MACD remains in positive territory, though with some moderation. That suggests the upward move is intact but not accelerating.
If LINK loses the $9.91–$9.93 support band, the next levels to watch are $9.56 and $9.20. On the upside, resistance sits at $10.78, then $11.42 and $11.63.
ETF Inflows Signal Institutional Interest
US-listed spot LINK ETFs recorded inflows of $2.44 million on Wednesday, following $1.91 million on Monday, according to SoSoValue data.
That brings two-day inflows to over $4.3 million. Continued inflows at this pace could provide buying pressure for LINK in the near term.
Fidelity International Launches Chainlink-Powered Fund
On Wednesday, Fidelity International — a global asset manager with roughly $1 trillion in client assets — launched a tokenized fund called the Fidelity USD Digital Liquidity Fund (FILQ).

The fund was issued through Sygnum Bank’s tokenization platform and received a AAA-mf rating from Moody’s Ratings, a designation used for money market funds.
Chainlink will provide on-chain net asset value (NAV) and distribution data for FILQ, allowing investors to track fund value in near real time.
JPMorgan will supply approved daily NAV data for the fund. Fernando Vazquez, president of capital markets at Chainlink Labs, said the setup delivers “verifiable, real-time NAV and distribution metrics.”
Chainlink previously worked with both Sygnum and Fidelity International in 2024 for on-chain NAV data integration.
On-chain metrics are also strengthening. Chainlink’s social dominance reached 0.232% on Thursday — a new yearly high and the highest level since November 2025. Ecosystem trading volume hit $741.06 million, rising steadily since late April.
