Chainlink (LINK) Gains Technical Momentum with Double Bottom Pattern, Targets $18
Chainlink (LINK) entered technical traders' radar this week after breaking out of a long-term descending triangle chart pattern. According to analyst Jonathan Carter (@JohncyCrypto), the asset also broke above its 50-day moving average and now faces key resistance at $15,50.
"Chainlink is breaking out of a long-term descending triangle pattern, the 50-period moving average, and is currently facing resistance at $15,50 on the daily chart," Carter commented in a post on X (formerly Twitter). The expert added that, if the movement continues, the token could reach targets of $18,00, $22,50, and $26,50.
The pattern highlighted by the trader is considered relevant because it signals a trend transition, especially when the breakout occurs with increased volume and support above the moving averages. LINK's current technical behavior suggests that buying pressure has gained momentum, with the breakout of the 50-day moving average serving as a confirmation point for this change.

The $15,50 level represents an immediate hurdle for the asset, but if overcome, it could pave the way for a more significant advance in the short and medium term. Targets like $18 and $22,50 already appear as technical milestones, while $26,50 is now considered a more ambitious level for more optimistic investors.
The optimism surrounding Chainlink reflects not only technical factors but also the project's recognition as a leading oracle provider in the cryptocurrency ecosystem. With the market alert to potential reversal signals, Carter's analysis reinforces the expectation that LINK could enter a new phase of appreciation.

Joseph Lupton from the JP Morgan Global Economic Research Team pointed out in a research report on November 10 that recent improvements in labor productivity have been driven more by capital deepening and increased intensity of factor utilization. The broad efficiency gains from AI, resulting from process reconstruction, data integration, and organizational adjustments, will still take time to materialize. This means orders for chips, servers, and electrical equipment may grow first, but continuous investment returns for computing power operators and end users may not arrive at the same pace.

Goldman Sachs believes that the AI investment cycle is currently in the "trough of disillusionment," but this is not the first time.

Social Capital founder Palihapitiya has clearly defined an 18-month key window, during which the market will decide which AI business models are sustainable and which are not.
