Currently stuck at $12.89, down 5.27% in 24 hours, down 6.10% over the week—honestly, the technicals are a bit weak. The 1-hour MACD is still holding, but the 4-hour RSI has already dropped to 38.12, well into oversold territory. The daily MACD has turned downward, and the price is being tightly pressed down by various moving averages (13.15-14.31). The rebound momentum is clearly insufficient, and medium-term resistance is quite heavy.
Support and resistance need to be clearly identified: below $12.52-$12.60 is the last line of defense (4-hour Bollinger Band lower band). If broken, the $12.33 daily lower band will be unprotected. The area above $13.00-$13.15 is the short sellers’ liquidation zone (starting from $198K positions). To break through, it requires increased volume—currently, futures positions at $542M are barely moving, reduced by less than 1%. The positive funding rate (0.0099%) plus a 96.8% long liquidation rate ($3.27M) indicate increasing pressure on longs.
But here’s the interesting part—fundamentally, things are quite solid. Interoperability providers are stable, institutional ETFs saw $37M inflow on the first day, on-chain active addresses surged from 2,088 to 2,935, daily trading volume jumped from $383M to $673M (+76%), and protocol fees grew 72% in 24 hours. Social sentiment is also overwhelmingly bullish—narratives like Swift collaboration and BlackRock integration continue to ferment.
However, the net exchange inflow of +156K LINK (on December 15) is a signal to watch carefully, as someone might be quietly selling off.
What’s next in the next 48 hours? The most likely scenario is $12.50-$13.00 oscillation, with technical weakness and fundamental positives balancing each other. If a 4-hour rebound occurs and breaks through $13.00, it could test $13.50; but once $12.50 breaks, the risk of dropping to $12.33 or even $12.00 sharply increases. The bottom line depends on whether ETF inflows continue or if new catalysts emerge to rescue the price.

Strong fundamentals but poor technicals, this is LINK's fate... Wait, is the exchange net inflow of 156k hinting that big players are exiting?

The fundamentals are solid but the technicals are weak, which is the current awkward situation for LINK. The bulls are piling up pressure, and the exchange net inflow signal is a bit alarming... We’ll have to see if the ETF can keep feeding it.

The fundamentals are solid, but this wave of sell-offs is really aggressive. The bulls are holding on desperately.
