Crypto Daily flags consolidation in Avalanche and a leverage-driven Chainlink pullback as traders assess nearby technical levels.

Crypto Daily flags consolidation in Avalanche and a leverage-driven Chainlink pullback as traders assess nearby technical levels. Chainlink (LINK) is trading at $10.72. This is an original TLT brief based on reporting by Crypto Daily, with live market data added, as of Sun, 08 Nov 2026 08:30:04 UTC.

Why it matters

The moves place AVAX near $8 and LINK around $10.87, levels that could shape near-term momentum after a leverage flush. The wider crypto market remains flat, so the weakness is concentrated in these two assets rather than broad-based.

Key takeaways
  • AVAX trades at $8.18 after falling 8.12% over seven days.
  • LINK stands at $10.73, down 8.63% over seven days.
  • Crypto Daily highlighted $10.87 as Chainlink’s key swing point.
  • Avalanche TVL is $135.61 million, up 0.8% over seven days.

  2. AVAX and LINK Extend Weekly Losses as Key Technical Levels Come Into View — this brief

Crypto Daily highlighted a consolidation phase in Avalanche while Chainlink approached a weekly technical swing point following a leverage flush. The outlet framed the setup as one that could expose Avalanche to a larger decline if the consolidation fails, with its headline pointing to a possible 15% drop. That 15% figure is Crypto Daily’s analytical framing rather than a confirmed outcome. Live pricing places AVAX at $8.18, consistent with the outlet’s description of the asset hovering just above $8. Chainlink is quoted at $10.73, close to the $10.87 swing point identified by Crypto Daily. Both assets have recorded substantial weekly losses: AVAX is down 8.12% and LINK is down 8.63%, while their respective 24-hour declines stand at 2.06% and 1.44%.

Avalanche’s on-chain position provides a contrasting fundamental indicator. DeFiLlama reports AVAX total value locked at $135.61 million, up 0.8% over seven days, even as the token’s market price fell during the same period. LINK’s market capitalization is $8.23 billion, compared with $3.64 billion for AVAX. The broader market appears comparatively stable. Total crypto market capitalization is $2.61 trillion, the overall market is flat, and Bitcoin is down 0.24% over 24 hours. The Fear & Greed Index stands at 28, within the “Fear” range. The immediate focus remains on whether AVAX can remain above $8 and whether LINK can regain its highlighted $10.87 swing point, without implying a direction for either move.
