Chainlink (LINK) Eyes $16 and $20 Breakout While Tracking Bitcoin Market

2025/12/15 16:00
  • Chainlink price closely follows Bitcoin trends, with potential breakout targets set at $16 and $20.
  • Technical analysis shows mixed signals, with daily and weekly charts reflecting market indecision and volatility.
  • The Chainlink ecosystem continues expanding, adding 15 new integrations across multiple blockchains and diverse blockchain services.

Chainlink is experiencing mixed price action as it closely tracks Bitcoin’s overall market trend. Technical signals appear indecisive, though a clear breakout could trigger a strong bullish move. At the same time, ongoing integrations across multiple blockchain networks signal continued expansion of the Chainlink ecosystem.

A well-known crypto analyst, CRYPTOWZRD, explained that LINK ended a recent trading session slightly negative, mainly influenced by Bitcoin’s performance. As per this analyst, most of this negativity took place during a transition into a new week, with signs of stabilization already shown in prices. They are currently tracking a short-term scalp trade in an intraday chart of LINK.

Technically speaking, the daily candle in LINK finished lower, which is in sync with Bitcoin’s movement during the transition to a new week. On a week-long chart, a gravestone doji appeared in LINK, representing an equal balance of buyers and sellers in the market. The LINK/BTC market pair is also in a state of uncertainty on a week-long chart and currently tests a lower high trend line on a daily chart.

A possible breakout above this level will enable LINK to make a stronger move upwards. Analysts believe a breakout will push LINK towards a resistance level of $16.00, and if support continues, a move towards $20.00 will not be ruled out. Support for LINK remains at $12.00.

In terms of shorter time frames, LINK/USDT’s intraday chart remains volatile but is presently exhibiting a bullish pullback, which is common during transitions into a new week. A bearish move might, however, be witnessed if Bitcoin loses strength again. Market players are presently waiting for conclusive signs before adopting new positions.

At press time, LINK is trading at $13.59, with a 24-hour trading volume of $628.23 million and a market capitalization of $9.46 billion. The LINK is down by 0.75% over the last 24 hours.

The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For

The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For

The post The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Visions of future technology are often prescient about the broad strokes while flubbing the details. The tablets in “2001: A Space Odyssey” do indeed look like iPads, but you never see the astronauts paying for subscriptions or wasting hours on Candy Crush.  Channel factories are one vision that arose early in the history of the Lightning Network to address some challenges that Lightning has faced from the beginning. Despite having grown to become Bitcoin’s most successful layer-2 scaling solution, with instant and low-fee payments, Lightning’s scale is limited by its reliance on payment channels. Although Lightning shifts most transactions off-chain, each payment channel still requires an on-chain transaction to open and (usually) another to close. As adoption grows, pressure on the blockchain grows with it. The need for a more scalable approach to managing channels is clear. Channel factories were supposed to meet this need, but where are they? In 2025, subnetworks are emerging that revive the impetus of channel factories with some new details that vastly increase their potential. They are natively interoperable with Lightning and achieve greater scale by allowing a group of participants to open a shared multisig UTXO and create multiple bilateral channels, which reduces the number of on-chain transactions and improves capital efficiency. Achieving greater scale by reducing complexity, Ark and Spark perform the same function as traditional channel factories with new designs and additional capabilities based on shared UTXOs.  Channel Factories 101 Channel factories have been around since the inception of Lightning. A factory is a multiparty contract where multiple users (not just two, as in a Dryja-Poon channel) cooperatively lock funds in a single multisig UTXO. They can open, close and update channels off-chain without updating the blockchain for each operation. Only when participants leave or the factory dissolves is an on-chain transaction…
