The ETF filing initially triggered optimism in the market, with LINK briefly surging and forming a strong green candle. However, broader crypto weakness has kept the token under pressure.

Currently, Chainlink is priced at $23.50, losing 4% over the last 24 hours. It has a market capitalization of $15.93 billion and a 24-hour volume of $1.79 billion.
Despite the bullish ETF catalyst, LINK is still lower on the daily and weekly charts, a result of the spillover effect from the recent decline of BTC to altcoins.
LINK Eyes $47 as Accumulation Peaks
In spite of the short-term fluctuations, Chainlink’s chart still maintains positive indicators. Statistics from More Crypto Online indicate that LINK has just recorded its highest 180-day trading volume, a sign of solid accumulations.
Major technical levels note $13.28 of critical support, and $31 is still the subsequent significant level of resistance.
