TLDR
- LINK is trading around $10.88, testing a key support zone at $10.85–$10.90
- The U.S. Senate failed to advance the Digital Asset Market CLARITY Act
- Daily RSI has dropped to ~46, down from overbought levels above 80 in August
- Wyoming’s Stable Token Commission adopted Chainlink Proof of Reserve for its FRNT token
- LINK’s next key levels are $11.50–$12 resistance and ~$10 support below
Chainlink’s LINK token is sitting at a technically important price level near $10.87, retreating from a September spike above $13. The move comes as the broader crypto market deals with a political setback in Washington.
LINK was trading at around $10.88 on Wednesday, virtually flat on the day but well off its recent highs. The current price zone, $10.85–$10.90, previously acted as resistance before LINK broke higher in late August.
That makes it a level worth watching closely. If LINK holds here, it may signal that old resistance has flipped to support. A clear break below $10.85 could put the August breakout at risk.
Momentum indicators have pulled back from extreme levels. The daily RSI has fallen to around 46, down sharply from above 80 during the August rally. That tells us the overbought conditions have cleared, though buyers have not yet shown they are back in control.
$LINK just grabbed a major liquidity pool around $10.95-$10.90 levels.
This is now technically the best area to react.

CLARITY Act Fails to Advance in Senate
The macro picture got more complicated on Tuesday. The U.S. Senate failed to get the 60 votes needed to advance the Digital Asset Market CLARITY Act. The bill aimed to create a federal framework for digital assets and clarify the roles of the SEC and CFTC.
Today, I voted no on the Clarity Act, legislation meant to regulate cryptocurrency in America.
The ethics provisions in this bill are simply too thin. President Trump, his children, and his Cabinet are making billions of dollars in the crypto space, in part from bilking everyday…

Bitcoin and crypto-related stocks fell following the vote. Coinbase, Circle, and other crypto equities also came under pressure.
For Chainlink specifically, regulatory clarity matters more than for many other tokens. LINK’s long-term investment case is tied to institutional blockchain adoption, tokenized real-world assets, and connecting traditional finance to public blockchains.
Reuters reported that a procedural path could allow for reconsideration of the bill, but a clear route to comprehensive legislation is now harder to see.
Chainlink Expands Institutional Footprint
Away from Washington, Chainlink has continued building out its role in institutional infrastructure. Earlier this month, the Wyoming Stable Token Commission adopted Chainlink Proof of Reserve for its Frontier Stable Token, known as FRNT. The system provides near real-time onchain verification of the reserves backing the state-issued token.
Wyoming also migrated FRNT’s cross-chain infrastructure to Chainlink’s Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol, or CCIP, in August, making it the exclusive cross-chain solution after a security review.
What Charts Show Now
From a technical standpoint, $10.87 is the immediate line in the sand. Holding above it keeps the $11.50–$12 range in focus. The September high above $13 is the bigger resistance zone beyond that.
A daily close below $10.85 could open the door to a deeper pullback toward the $10 area, where a rising trendline sits on the daily chart.
LINK is now trading at the intersection of rising institutional adoption and growing regulatory uncertainty following Tuesday’s Senate vote.
