LINK , the native token of Chainlink, a prominent blockchain oracle network, eyes an entry into the list of top 10 cryptocurrencies with the highest market capitalizations. Currently valued at a massive $15.54 billion, the digital currency could soon double its valuation, according to the well-known analyst in the digital asset space Ali Martinez.
Chainlink (LINK) is expected to soar to the $50 price level as the altcoin has formed a bullish flag pattern. As pointed out in a post on X (formerly Twitter) by Martinez, LINK has broken out of this flag and now seeks higher prices. The target of such a flag pattern is calculated by measuring the height of the flagpole, which is the vertical distance of the initial strong upward move leading to the flag formation, and then adding it to the breakout price.
