losses, network activity has accelerated at its fastest pace this year, raising questions about whether the increase in network activity can eventually translate into a price rebound.<\/p>\n<p>At the time of writing, LINK is trading around $7.30, up just 0.3% over the past 24 hours.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the modest daily gain, the broader trend remains weak.<\/p>\n<p>LINK has declined 8.7% over the past week, 20.3% over the last 30 days, and 45.8% over the past year.<\/p>\n<h2>Chainlink network activity reaches highest level of 2026<\/h2>\n<p>Recent on-chain data showed that the Chainlink network added 6,182 new wallet addresses in just two days, marking its strongest two-day growth of 2026.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">\u270d\ufe0f TL;DR: Chainlink network growth erupts with two highest on-chain days of the year<br \/>\ud83d\udcca Metrics used: Network Growth<br \/>\ud83d\udd17 Link to chart: <\/p>\n<p>\ud83d\udcc8 BREAKING: Chainlink just posted its two strongest network growth days of 2026, with 3,142 new LINK wallets on June\u2026 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/H0FVqxDvwB\">pic.twitter.com\/H0FVqxDvwB<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Santiment Intelligence (@SantimentData) June 26, 2026<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The increase was spread across two consecutive days, with 3,142 new wallets created on June 25 and another 3,040 on June 26.<\/p>\n<p>Such growth is often viewed as a sign of rising user participation because it reflects fresh addresses interacting with the network during a period when the token itself has been under selling pressure.<\/p>\n<p>The surge is particularly notable as it came while LINK was trading close to multi-month lows instead of a rally.<\/p>\n<p>In many cases, rapid wallet growth accompanies rising prices as new investors enter the market.<\/p>\n<p>This time, the increase in network activity arrived even as the token remained below several important resistance levels.<\/p>\n<p>Chainlink continues to maintain a total value locked (TVL) of about $28.841 billion, showing that the protocol remains one of the largest decentralised oracle networks despite recent weakness in its token price.<\/p>\n<p>Some market observers have pointed to the divergence between improving on-chain metrics and weaker prices as evidence that network usage has remained resilient.<\/p>\n<p>However, address growth alone does not guarantee higher prices, particularly when broader market conditions remain under pressure.<\/p>\n<h2>Bearish technical indicators continue to dominate<\/h2>\n<p>Despite the encouraging on-chain data, technical indicators still favour the sellers.<\/p>\n<p>From a technical perspective, LINK is trading below its 10-day, 20-day, 50-day, 100-day, and 200-day EMAs, leaving every major moving average above the current price and acting as resistance.<\/p>\n<p>Remaining below the 200-day EMA also suggests that the longer-term trend has yet to turn positive.<\/p>\n<p>Momentum indicators offer a slightly more balanced view.<\/p>\n<p>The 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) stands at 32.21, keeping the token above the traditional oversold threshold of 30 but still close enough that trading volume could play a decisive role in the next move.<\/p>\n<p>On the weekly timeframe, the RSI is 33.23, indicating that bearish momentum has eased compared to earlier weeks, although the broader trend remains under pressure.<\/p>\n<h2>Key Chainlink price levels to watch<\/h2>\n<p>The technical structure leaves several important price levels in focus.<\/p>\n<p>Immediate support sits at $7.02. If the token closes below that level, the current support structure would weaken significantly and could expose LINK to additional downside.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" data-source=\"CoinJournal\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-365480\" src=\"https:\/\/coinjournal.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/LINKUSD_2026-06-29_16-51-57.png\" alt=\"Chainlink price chart\" width=\"1487\" height=\"904\"\/><\/p>\n<p>On the upside, traders are watching $8.31, which represents the first major resistance level.<\/p>\n<p>A confirmed close above that price would improve the technical outlook and could allow LINK to challenge the next resistance around $9.19.<\/p>\n<p>Some technical analysts have also highlighted the possibility of a double-bottom formation if support continues to hold.<\/p>\n<p>Under that scenario, a sustained breakout above resistance could eventually open the path toward the $9 region.<\/p>\n<div class=\"post-meta\">\n<hr class=\"mb-6\"\/>\n<h6 class=\"text-3xl  mb-4  text-green-300\">Share this article<\/h6>\n<hr class=\"mb-6\"\/>\n<h6 class=\"text-3xl  mb-4  text-green-300\">Categories<\/h6>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>Markets#Chainlink #price #prediction #record #network #growth #meets #bearish #technicals1782744798<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chainlink added 6,182 new wallets in two days.
