TokenRadar Risk Context
TokenRadar currently assigns Chainlink a risk score of 5/10, a growth potential index of 42/100, narrative strength of 95/100, and a volatility index of 20/100. The computed risk level is medium. Chainlink is a strong narrative, near ATH token.
Risk should be read together with liquidity. Chainlink has 24h high and low levels of $10.78 and $10.07, so the short-term range is visible before considering broader 7-day and 30-day changes of +2.01% and +15.04%.
Historical Data Points
The historical reference set for LINK includes an all-time high of $52.7 on May 10, 2021, an all-time low of $0.1482 on November 29, 2017, and a 1-year move of -40.00%. These figures do not predict the future, but they show whether the current price is near extremes or in a middle range.
Supply and Valuation
Circulating supply is 727,099,970.43, total supply is 1,000,000,000, and max supply is 1,000,000,000. Fully diluted valuation is $10.23B. Market cap and FDV can diverge when a large portion of supply is not circulating, so investors should compare circulating supply, total supply, and unlock or emission information before relying on valuation multiples.
What Could Change the Setup
Chainlink would need stronger evidence across volume, liquidity, development activity, and category momentum for the setup to improve. Weak follow-through, falling volume, large unlocks, contract migrations, or negative security events would weaken the research case even if the spot price rises for a short period.

Use this LINK overview as the starting point, then open the price scenario page for upside, base, and downside conditions or the buying checklist for venue, fee, custody, and network verification. To compare Chainlink with broader research concepts, review market cap basics, FDV and dilution, and liquidity depth. Moving through those pages gives the market snapshot a clearer decision framework without turning this article into a buy or sell recommendation.
For LINK research, the important control is consistency between the live market snapshot and the longer historical record. A single 24h move can be noisy, while market cap rank, 30-day performance, all-time high distance, supply structure, and volume-to-cap ratio create a more durable comparison set. This is why the article separates market data from decision rules and keeps the conclusion conditional.
Chainlink also needs category-aware interpretation. A MegaETH Ecosystem token with high liquidity can behave very differently from a low-volume asset with the same percentage move. The practical question is whether volume, spread quality, supply data, and catalyst evidence confirm the move or contradict it.
The safest way to use this overview article is as a checklist. Confirm the latest price, check the current rank, compare 24h volume with market cap, review the ATH and ATL dates, and look for any project-specific changes before treating the data as current enough for research.
