cryptonews.com reports that Google Gemini AI predicts Chainlink (LINK) could reach $35 by January 1, 2027, assuming full-blown bull-market conditions return between now and the end of 2026. This target implies a roughly 3x move from current levels of $11–$12. The outlet notes that while the prediction is aggressive, it relies on the return of strong market conditions. The forecast suggests a potential +300% increase for the asset over the specified period.
How the market reacted
Whalio's own Binance spot order flow for LINK, measured when this story was written up on 15 September 2026. Not the outlet's figures.
LINK is currently trading at $11.52, with a 1-hour buy ratio of 58.8% indicating strong immediate buying pressure compared to the 43.2% seen over the 4-hour timeframe. The 24-hour buy ratio sits at 51.3%, suggesting that while buying is dominant in the short term, the broader 24-hour trend is more balanced. The 1-hour volume delta is positive at +$144,467, showing net inflows, whereas the 4-hour delta is negative at -$272,903, indicating net outflows over that slightly longer window. Over the last 24 hours, the net delta is +$542,773, and the cumulative volume delta (CVD) at close is +$125,545. This data shows that buying pressure is building in the immediate 1-hour window but has been fading or reversing over the preceding 4-hour period.
The latest daily buy ratio of 49.4% sits at the 56th percentile of the last 322 days, against a median of 48.8% - ordinary for this coin.
Was that an ordinary day?
The same Binance spot measurements for LINK, averaged over the days leading up to the story.
Over the preceding week, the average buy ratio was 49.5%, making today’s 24-hour ratio of 51.3% slightly higher by 1.7 points. However, the 24-hour spot volume of $21,443,000 is only 0.70x the weekly average, indicating significantly lower participation than usual. The coin has seen a price change of -9.6% over the past 8 days, with a total volume delta of -$1,257,465 for the period. Net buying occurred on only 3 of the 7 days, contrasting with the 12 hours of net buying recorded in the last 24 hours. This suggests that while recent hours show renewed buying interest, the broader weekly trend remains one of net outflows and price decline.
