Google Gemini AI Predicts a Huge Run for Chainlink (LINK)

As of October 12, 2026, Google's Gemini AI projected that Chainlink's LINK token could climb to $150–$250 by January 1, 2027, with a stretch target above $300 in a peak bull-market scenario. LINK traded near $13.20–$13.30 then, well below its $53 record high. The forecast assumes a late-2026 bull market and institutions and regulators adopting Chainlink's oracle and cross-chain infrastructure for tokenized assets and regulated settlements. Such coordination is highly unlikely, making the projection entertainment only rather than a realistic base case. LINK was consolidating between $11.80 and $12.20, with resistance at $15–$18.
