  • The current relief rally in Chainlink price shows a bear flag pattern in the daily chart, signaling a potential breakdown ahead.
  • The Chainlink reserve accumulated 119,177.19 LINK, valued at roughly $1.1 million at current market prices.
  • The daily relative strength index at 51% accentuates a neutral market sentiment.

The crypto market witnessed a slight slowdown in its recovery momentum during Thursday’s market. The downtick followed Bitcoin reversal from $74,000 mark as the persisted geopolitical tension raised oil prices across broader markets and raised risk-off sentiment. However, the Chainlink price gained additional traction as its dedicated reserve accumulated more LINK tokens today.

LINK Derivatives Cooling Off While Chainlink Treasury Adds 119K Tokens

LINK, the native cryptocurrency of decentralized oracle network Chainlink, recorded a sharp pullback of 1.5% to reach $9.25. This downtick indicates intact overhead supply at $9.6 resistance, signaling the combination of current consolidation in the daily chart.

Additionally, Chainlink’s leveraged futures trading has experienced a significant contraction in recent months. According to Coinglass figures, open interest in LINK perpetual and futures contracts has fallen from around $708M in early January, to about $395-400M at present, a decline of about 44%.

The start of the slide coincided with a general retreat in the crypto market due to geopolitical developments, changing macro-economic factors, and waves of long position liquidations. The steady decline may indicate participants are steadily decreasing leveraged bets as a way to manage risk in a volatile environment where diminished speculative inflows have limited potential upward momentum in the spot price.

On a separate note, the official reserve mechanism of Chainlink is still steadily amassing reserves. The last addition was 119,177.19 LINK tokens, which is worth around $1.1 million at current rates. This takes the total reserve to 2,420,534.43 LINK, with an estimated market value of $22.4 million. The weighted average acquisition price for the holdings is still at $14.27 per token.

This accumulation reflects growing demand for Chainlink services from institutions and DeFi protocols, as revenue streams are programmatically converted into LINK and locked away long-term.

Chainlink Price Prepare Next Breakdown Within Bear Flag Pattern

The Chainlink price has been consolidating between $9.66 and $7.82 levels over the past month. Several price swings attempted a breakout from either direction but failed immediately, indicating a lack of initiation from buyers or sellers.

Amid the price uncertainty, the daily chart analysis shows a classic bearish continuation pattern called bear flag. The chart setup consists of a long downsloping trendline, indicating the dominating downtrend, followed by two ascending slopes that recoups the bearish momentum before the next breakdown. 

If pattern holds true, the Chainlink price could plunge 6.5% down to retest the challenge to the bottom trendline of this flag. A bearish breakdown below the pattern would intensify the selling pressure for an extended correction towards $7.15.

The downsloping slopes of daily EMAs (50, 100, and 200) accentuates the broader market sentiment in bearish.

LINK/USDT -1d Chart

On the contrary, if the coin price breaks above the resistance trendline, the Chainlink price could replenish bullish momentum for potential surge to $11.76.

U.S. Court Finds Pastor Found Guilty in $3M Crypto Scam

U.S. Court Finds Pastor Found Guilty in $3M Crypto Scam

The post U.S. Court Finds Pastor Found Guilty in $3M Crypto Scam appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Crime 18 September 2025 | 04:05 A Colorado judge has brought closure to one of the state’s most unusual cryptocurrency scandals, declaring INDXcoin to be a fraudulent operation and ordering its founders, Denver pastor Eli Regalado and his wife Kaitlyn, to repay $3.34 million. The ruling, issued by District Court Judge Heidi L. Kutcher, came nearly two years after the couple persuaded hundreds of people to invest in their token, promising safety and abundance through a Christian-branded platform called the Kingdom Wealth Exchange. The scheme ran between June 2022 and April 2023 and drew in more than 300 participants, many of them members of local church networks. Marketing materials portrayed INDXcoin as a low-risk gateway to prosperity, yet the project unraveled almost immediately. The exchange itself collapsed within 24 hours of launch, wiping out investors’ money. Despite this failure—and despite an auditor’s damning review that gave the system a “0 out of 10” for security—the Regalados kept presenting it as a solid opportunity. Colorado regulators argued that the couple’s faith-based appeal was central to the fraud. Securities Commissioner Tung Chan said the Regalados “dressed an old scam in new technology” and used their standing within the Christian community to convince people who had little knowledge of crypto. For him, the case illustrates how modern digital assets can be exploited to replicate classic Ponzi-style tactics under a different name. Court filings revealed where much of the money ended up: luxury goods, vacations, jewelry, a Range Rover, high-end clothing, and even dental procedures. In a video that drew worldwide attention earlier this year, Eli Regalado admitted the funds had been spent, explaining that a portion went to taxes while the remainder was used for a home renovation he claimed was divinely inspired. The judgment not only confirms that INDXcoin qualifies as a…
