Chainlink ($LINK ) is in a technical "manual" position for institutional investors, but with the same nervousness as the rest of the market.

Here is my analysis to see if we add LINK:

🛠️ LINK Situation (January 19)

Chainlink is trading today near $12.80 - $13.50 USD. While other altcoins are purely speculative, LINK is infrastructure.

The iron floor: The $13.00 level is a psychological and technical support that buyers have defended fiercely today. If it holds, it is a very solid base.

The 2026 catalyst: More LINK derivatives are activated tomorrow on the CME, and the launch of CCIP v1.5 is expected this quarter. It is the network that banks use for "Tokenization of Real Assets" (RWA), just like ONDO.
