January 22 News, Chainlink (LINK) has recently been consolidating at low levels, with the price structure gradually showing potential bottoming characteristics. As market demand for oracle tracks and real-world asset on-chain integration heats up, LINK’s technical pattern and fundamental narrative are simultaneously attracting capital attention. The current price remains within the medium-term downtrend channel, but several key support zones are laying the foundation for subsequent breakthroughs.
From the daily chart, CRYPTOWZRD pointed out that after a pullback from the 27 to 28 USD high, LINK entered a prolonged correction phase, with the trend still constrained by a downward trendline. However, the 12.00 to 12.50 USD range has formed a clear demand zone, with multiple rebounds accompanied by buying interest, indicating accumulation behavior by medium- and long-term investors. If the price can effectively break through and stabilize above the downward trendline, the first important target will be the 16 USD level, followed by a potential test of the 20 USD region; if the current demand zone fails, the historical supports at 9.50 USD and 7.30 USD will serve as defensive lines.
In the 12-hour cycle, Ali observed that LINK remains oscillating between 11.93 USD and 14.63 USD, with this sideways movement more reflecting market waiting for confirmation of direction. The 11.93 USD level continues to act as a bottom, while 13.22 USD is seen as a short-term turning point. Once broken, the price may accelerate toward the upper end of the range; if support is broken, it could retreat to around 11 USD to find a new balance.
On the fundamental side, Quinten emphasized Chainlink’s key role in the tokenization of real-world assets. The network is providing a reliable data and settlement bridge for traditional assets such as US stocks and ETFs, enabling them to be securely on-chain and circulated. As this sector is estimated to reach hundreds of trillions of dollars, LINK’s value logic is shifting from short-term trading to a long-term role as a financial infrastructure. The overlay of technical consolidation and expanding narratives makes the current range an important stage for building momentum for the next market cycle.

Dalio: "There is only one kind of gold," Bitcoin is not a true safe haven tool for central banks
Bridgewater Associates founder Ray Dalio criticized Bitcoin in a podcast, calling it "digital gold," emphasizing that gold is the most mature form of currency, and highlighting three major risks of Bitcoin: lack of central bank backing, insufficient privacy protection, and the threat of quantum computing. He believes that gold's independent hedging characteristics have an advantage in geopolitical conflicts, while Bitcoin is more of a high-risk asset. Therefore, Dalio questions whether Bitcoin can truly serve as a safe haven during crises.
