Copilot's Crystal Ball: LINK to $35 by 2027, or Just Another AI Hallucination? 🤖

Microsoft Copilot has projected that Chainlink ($LINK) could reach $35 by January 1, 2027, assuming full-blown bull-market conditions return between now and the end of 2026. The token is currently trading around $11–$12, meaning the target would represent a roughly threefold increase from present levels. The projection was published in a CryptoNews analysis citing Copilot's forecast.

According to the analysis, the $35 target would place $LINK above its 2024 peak while remaining well below its all-time high of approximately $52.70, set in May 2021. The piece noted that $LINK traded around $1.77 at the start of 2020 before its May 2021 peak, then closed 2022 near $5.57 after a substantial bear-market drawdown. Historical cycles have previously carried the token into a $20–$30 range during strong crypto market phases.

The 2026 chart shows a substantial recovery from a capitulation low, with $LINK having dropped from about $14. Market commentator Osemka (@Osemka8) wrote on September 16, 2026 that "retesting the $9 area on Chainlink is reasonable to expect, especially since the chart interacted with that area so often in the past," adding that "LINK did a 100% off the lows and should be paid attention to." The forecast frames the $35 target as conditional on a broader transition from the current relatively weak environment into a genuine altcoin bull market.
