The Chainlink (LINK) market has experienced a significant uplift in the last week as prices grew by 7.64%. In line with the general crypto market, the altcoin produced a modest rebound from the deep correction levels seen in mid-October. Amid this price action, renowned market analyst Ali Martinez has shared a developing bullish pattern that suggests more profits ahead.

Buy The Dip At $15 – Here’s Why

In a recent X post on October 25, Martinez postulated that LINK could be gearing up for a major rally, with technical indicators hinting at an incoming bullish opportunity.  In analyzing the LINKUSDT daily chart, investors may have a chance to notch a 300% gain in the coming months.

Based on the chart analysis presented by Martinez, LINK is trading within a broad ascending parallel channel that has defined its market behavior since mid-2023. Notably, the altcoin last bounced off the lower boundary of this channel in June 2025 to trade as high as $28.00, before descending to current market prices around $18.00.

Martinez anticipates that LINK will complete its ongoing decline by revisiting the channel’s lower boundary, with the $15.00 zone, which aligns with the 0.618 Fibonacci retracement level, serving as the key area of interest. The analyst identifies $15.00  as a strong accumulation zone, advising investors to consider buying at that level. From there, LINK is expected to stage a recovery toward the upper boundary of the channel. 

However, Martinez cautions that the token could face interim resistance around $20.04, corresponding to the 0.786 Fibonacci level, which may trigger a brief pullback to $18.00  before a potential breakout rally. If this setup unfolds as projected, LINK could surge toward the $46.31  mark, matching the 1.272 Fibonacci extension, representing an upside of roughly 300% gain from the expected accumulation point.

LINK Market Overview 

At the time of writing, LINK trades at $18.21, reflecting a slight 2.41% gain in the past day. Meanwhile, the token’s daily trading volume has declined by 43.38% and is valuedat around $366 million. 

Looking at its monthly chart, LINK remains down by 11.05% despite the modest recovery seen in the last week, signaling that the token still needs further upside to fully reverse its recent losses and bring most new investors back into profit. With a market cap of $12.35 billion, LINK continues to hold its position as the twelfth largest cryptocurrency in the market. 

Bitcoin has performed strongly below expectations in October, with total monthly gains now estimated at around 1.54%. Following a bullish start, which established a new all-time high at $126,000, the premier cryptocurrency experienced a heavy correction mid-month, resulting in present price levels around $111,400. Amid these developments, crypto analyst Amr Taha has noted a recent shift on the Binance network, with potentially bullish implications for market participants.

Exchange Reserves Near Critical Low

In a recent QuickTake post on CryptoQuant, Amr Taha shares insights into Bitcoin’s possible near-term trajectory, using data from the Bitcoin Exchange Reserve on Binance. As the name implies, this metric is an on-chain indicator that tracks the total amount of Bitcoin held in exchange wallets over time. The exchange reserve is an important measure of investors’ sentiment, as a high figure suggests preparation to sell and a growing lack of conviction among investors. However, when investors withdraw large amounts of their holdings from exchanges, especially within a short period, it indicates confidence in the asset’s prospects for price appreciation.

Taha points out that the Bitcoin exchange reserves on Binance have seen a significant decline, with the current reading approaching 610,000 BTC,  a level last reached in July, and also one of the lowest levels seen last year. While Bitcoin’s exchange reserves have steadily declined throughout 2025, the analyst remarks that the most recent decline looks “extremely aggressive,” implicitly suggesting the possibility of an imminent radical change.

One possible effect of this drastic drop in exchange reserve is a supply shock, i.e., a sudden drop in the available supply of an asset. This abrupt shrinkage in selling supply also increases the market’s fragility to the upside, with increasing demand serving as fuel to bolster major upswings.

Factors Behind Bitcoin’s Falling Exchange Reserve

Interestingly, Taha explains that as Bitcoin’s price swings around the $111,500 level, it reflects an underlying amount of demand, thus reinforcing earlier conjectures on growing long-term holders (LTH) confidence. As a result, Bitcoin could soon see an influx of momentum to push its price to the upside.

Aside from growing institutional and whale accumulation standing as the primary driver of declining reserves, the analyst also points out the immense demand from the spot ETFs as another factor in play. A proportion of BTC typically gets pulled into these funds, thereby competing with the supply of Bitcoin available in the market. 

At the time of writing, Bitcoin is worth approximately $111,613, reflecting no significant movement in the past day.

The aftermath of the October 10 flash crash continues to weigh on the cryptocurrency market, with major digital assets still showing signs of strain.  Recent data from an on-chain analysis sheds light on one of the underlying factors behind the market struggle.

Stablecoin Netflow In Downtrend — Analyst

In a recent QuickTake post on CryptoQuant, a market analyst with the username CryptoOnchain reported an interesting change in stablecoin activity on the Binance exchange. This analysis is based on readings from the ‘Total Stablecoin Netflow On Binance (Last 60 Days) & 7-Day MA ‘ and shows potentially compelling implications for the general market. 

According to CryptoOnchain, the 7-day moving average of the combined stablecoin netflow (purple line) has decisively dipped beneath the ‘zero’ mark, marking a shift from sustained inflows to accelerating outflows.

Crypto Onchain further explained that the downward trend seen in the stablecoin netflow chart has been reinforced by significant spikes in outflows occurring over the past two days. With neither of the two major categories excluded, this ‘capital flight’ involves stablecoins both on the TRC20 network (one of which is USDT), and those operating under the ERC20 network.

Market Outlook In The Short Term 

Generally, an increase in stablecoin netflow to exchange platforms reflects an increasing demand for cryptocurrencies, as stablecoins are mostly exchanged for other online assets. Therefore, the decrease in stablecoin netflow presently seen signals reduced interest in other risky assets and a growing inclination among market participants to exclude themselves from participating in a risky market environment. 

This pattern of capital exiting exchanges, especially after a major price correction, typically points to what the analyst termed “a weakening ‘buy the dip’ appetite.” If history is anything to go by, this could be an early sign that the crypto market is about to see an even more intense amount of bearish pressure, especially in the short term.

As of this writing, Bitcoin, the world’s leading cryptocurrency, stands at a valuation of approximately $111,400, showing a slight price growth of 0.54% over the past day. Also showing a similarly minute appreciation over the past 24 hours is Ethereum, which is worth about $3,936. Meanwhile, the total stablecoin market cap remains valued at $319 billion following a 0.14% gain in the past day.

Bitcoin price struggled to establish a stable direction in the past week, as intense levels of volatility continue to rock the market. Following two weeks of market correction, the premier cryptocurrency attempted a price rebound, reaching around $112,000 before retracing to $107,000 price zone. 

Presently, Bitcoin trades in the $111,000 price range after some steady gains in the past 48 hours. Interestingly, a popular analyst with the X username DaanCrypto has identified an insightful trend amidst this market uncertainty.

Sideways Bitcoin Market Sets Stage For Explosive Move As Liquidity Builds

In a post on Friday, DaanCrypto shared an important on-chain development of the Bitcoin market following the highly volatile price moves in October 2025.  Despite the consistent price swings, the analyst explains that BTC has remained locked in a local price range over the past two weeks,  with its present price hovering above the midpoint of this structure.

This sideways action has been driven by buyers and sellers repeatedly foiling each other’s attempts to break out, thereby preventing the asset from establishing a decisive breakout pattern. Amid the continuous consolidation, untriggered liquidation levels are accumulating just above and below the local price range.

This pattern is typical of Bitcoin’s pre-breakout phases. DaanCrypto explains that the longer the price consolidates within a tight corridor, the more liquidity pools build up outside it. Notably, when price eventually sweeps these clusters, it often triggers a cascade of liquidations and stop orders, which fuel the next large price move. 

Using data from Coinglass, DaanCrypto has identified $106,000 as a level with the heaviest concentration of long liquidations. Therefore, this price point functions as a critical support zone, and a downward wick below which could trigger selling forces pushing Bitcoin to deeper levels. 

Meanwhile, the $115,000 region holds a thick short-side liquidity, meaning a push above this threshold could fuel a rapid short squeeze and propel BTC to higher levels, perhaps beyond its current all-time high at $126,210.

Bitcoin Still On For A Comeback? 

In contrast to popular sentiments of an “Uptober” and blooming Q4, Bitcoin has failed to achieve a sustainable price growth in October. A report from the Bitcoin Archive states that the crypto asset’s return in Q4 2025 is now estimated at -2.84%. This figure shows an extreme underperformance as Bitcoin’s average Q4 is valued at 74.77%.  

However, with over 60 days remaining until the end of 2025, there is still ample time for the premier cryptocurrency to pull off a market recovery. After the CPI data met expectations, the chances of an interest rate cut have increased, and an eventual announcement by the Federal Reserve could perhaps trigger Bitcoin’s rebound, among other factors.

At press time, Bitcoin continues to trade at $111,424, reflecting a 3.91% gain in the past seven days.
