Chainlink (LINK) is showing new signs of strength as market action indicates the possibility of an upward trend. Technical analysis suggests that there may be even more gains for the cryptocurrency if the dominance over the market by Bitcoin reduces.

At the time of writing, Chainlink (LINK) is trading at $14.03, with a 24-hour trading volume of $952.26 million and a market capitalization of $9.95 billion. The token has gained 6.24% over the last 24 hours, signaling renewed interest in the market.

Crypto analyst CRYPROWZRD shared a daily technical analysis for LINK, pointing out that the token ended the day in a bullish fashion. However, according to the analyst, more gains can be achieved, with LINK/BTC leading the way. “I will be keeping an eye out for intraday charts tomorrow for the next possible opportunity,” the analyst explained.

LINK and LINK/BTC have had positive closes on their daily charts. Analysts believe that the LINK/BTC market will have an upward rally as the Bitcoin Dominance index relaxes, which may lead the LINK market to its next rally. There could be a faster rally above the resistance level of $30 after the breakout above the level of $16.00.

Analyzing the intraday charts, LINK had some volatility and a double top formation. This is a possible pullback in the short term with Bitcoin. The overall forecast, however, is positive, and a rise in prices is expected from the current levels.

The analyst will monitor lower time frame charts for trading opportunities and track Bitcoin for any large changes due to news and market events.

RSI on the weekly chart is close to 44 levels, just below the midpoint of 50, with weak and stabilizing momentum as opposed to strong sell pressure. The price is seen at $14.03 with the MA Ribbon below it, where the important moving averages are at $16.23-16.66 levels, acting as a barrier. This indicates that the price of LINK is attempting to build a base.

In the MACD analysis, it can be noted that the MACD is still in the negative region with values of about -0.37, while the signal line is about -1.08. The histogram is still red but decreasing in size, which indicates that the momentum in the negative direction is slowly decreasing.

The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For

The post The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Visions of future technology are often prescient about the broad strokes while flubbing the details. The tablets in “2001: A Space Odyssey” do indeed look like iPads, but you never see the astronauts paying for subscriptions or wasting hours on Candy Crush.  Channel factories are one vision that arose early in the history of the Lightning Network to address some challenges that Lightning has faced from the beginning. Despite having grown to become Bitcoin’s most successful layer-2 scaling solution, with instant and low-fee payments, Lightning’s scale is limited by its reliance on payment channels. Although Lightning shifts most transactions off-chain, each payment channel still requires an on-chain transaction to open and (usually) another to close. As adoption grows, pressure on the blockchain grows with it. The need for a more scalable approach to managing channels is clear. Channel factories were supposed to meet this need, but where are they? In 2025, subnetworks are emerging that revive the impetus of channel factories with some new details that vastly increase their potential. They are natively interoperable with Lightning and achieve greater scale by allowing a group of participants to open a shared multisig UTXO and create multiple bilateral channels, which reduces the number of on-chain transactions and improves capital efficiency. Achieving greater scale by reducing complexity, Ark and Spark perform the same function as traditional channel factories with new designs and additional capabilities based on shared UTXOs.  Channel Factories 101 Channel factories have been around since the inception of Lightning. A factory is a multiparty contract where multiple users (not just two, as in a Dryja-Poon channel) cooperatively lock funds in a single multisig UTXO. They can open, close and update channels off-chain without updating the blockchain for each operation. Only when participants leave or the factory dissolves is an on-chain transaction…
