Chainlink remains on a downward trajectory despite a short rebound in the recent session. Over the last 24 hours, LINK is up 2.36%, yet the broader outlook stays weak as the token still shows a weekly decline of 4.36% overall.

Chainlink is testing the strong micro support level of wave (2) once again, and this level is still defined from $11.95 to $12.23. The fulfillment of this support maintains the defense line strong, and breaking below the strong support of $11.95 will make it weaker and will make way for further downside action.

According to Crypto Analyst @Morecryptoonl, any upside from this zone will likely stay corrective, forming parts of a broader wave four move rather than a new impulsive rally. Targets for the first levels of recovery may be pegged at $12.80 – $13.20, $13.70 – $14.10, and even stronger at $14.40 – $14.60 levels.

A failure to uphold the current micro range would invalidate the constructive scenario, while a breakout below $11.95 would see $11.60 come into play as the significant support level, or a further push would see a return toward the deeper regions of $11.30-$11.00 until market stabilization is observed in the broader corrective market structure phase.

Indicators Signal Ongoing Bearish Market Pressure

Currently, the RSI for the weekly chart is seen moving around the level of 38, below the middle level of 50, which indicates a lack of buying power and persistent bearish pressures. This suggests that the sellers are still in control of the market. This would remain so until the RSI breaks above the middle level.

The MACD indicator also supports the bearish view, as the MACD line remains below the signal line and shows increasingly red bars on the histogram. This is an indication that the negative momentum is still building. Until the histogram begins to reduce and a bullish crossover is seen, the downward pressure can be expected to continue.

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…
