Crypto Rally: LINK, Pump.fun, XRP Surge in Last 6 Hours

Chainlink (LINK) +8.67%

Chainlink’s LINK token recently surged to a six-month high, reaching an intraday peak of $24.07, its highest price since February 1. Over the past 24 hours, LINK’s price rose more than 8%, with trading volumes spiking to $2 billion.

#LINK is the native token of Chainlink, a decentralized oracle network that provides real-world data to smart contracts on various blockchains. The recent price rally reflects growing investor confidence in Chainlink’s oracle services amid rising demand for DeFi infrastructure. Despite a slight 3% dip in the last two hours, LINK has surged 132% year-to-date, ranking third in DeFi performance.

Given the strong volume and sustained interest, LINK’s price momentum appears robust in the short term. However, minor volatility is expected as traders take profits near resistance levels. If demand holds, LINK could test new highs above $25; otherwise, a consolidation around $22-$23 is likely.

Pump.fun (PUMP)

Pump.fun’s token jumped 20% in the last 24 hours to approximately $0.0036, reclaiming market share from rival Solana-based meme coin LetsBonk. This surge highlights renewed investor enthusiasm in Solana’s meme coin ecosystem.

#Pump.fun operates as a meme coin launchpad on the Solana blockchain, capitalizing on the growing popularity of community-driven tokens. The recent price jump suggests increased trading activity and speculative interest as Pump.fun strengthens its position against competitors.

While the current rally may attract short-term traders, meme coins like PUMP are prone to high volatility and rapid reversals. Unless supported by sustained community engagement or new project developments, the token could face downward pressure after this spike.

Ripple (XRP)

XRP experienced a sharp 12% crash within 24 hours, wiping out $90 million in long positions and dipping below $3.05. This sudden drop marks a challenging day for XRP bulls amid heavy liquidations.

#XRP is Ripple’s native digital asset designed for fast cross-border payments and liquidity solutions. Despite recent optimism about XRP reaching $3.50 by Saturday, the abrupt sell-off indicates heightened market uncertainty and profit-taking pressures.

The current bearish momentum suggests further downside risk for XRP in the near term unless buyers step back in aggressively. A recovery above $3.10-$3.15 would be needed to stabilize prices; otherwise, the token may test lower support levels around $2.90.
