hibtHow Chainlink ended up so far from its high
Chainlink trades at $10.12 against a high of $53.00 in May 2021 — −80.9% off the peak. Getting back there would take a 5.2× rise.
From low to high
Chainlink (LINK) price high and low
Over 7 years the price of Chainlink has moved between $0.3504 and $53.00. The low came in January 2019, the high in May 2021. From the bottom the price has risen 29× — which is what someone would have made buying at the worst possible moment and holding to today.
The deepest LINK drawdown
The deepest fall on monthly closes was −85.4%: from the peak in April 2021 to the bottom in December 2022, taking 20 months. A useful number: it shows what holding through would have meant.
How long since the high
It has been 67 months since that high, and the price has not returned to it.
What the years show
Best and worst year for Chainlink
The best full year was 2020 at +536%. The worst was 2022 at −71.4%. Of 6 full years, 4 closed up and 2 closed down.
Rising years outnumber falling ones — but the spread between the best and worst year matters more than the count: that is what tells you what to be ready for.
LINK price in 2026
The current year stands at −17.1%, ranging from $7.00 to $15.78.
Months: how many closed up
How many months LINK closed up

Strongest and weakest month for Chainlink
The strongest month on record was June 2019 at +233%; the hardest was March 2020 at −44.2%.
Does LINK have a seasonal pattern
Which month Chainlink rose in most often
On average LINK did best in January: +26.3% across 7 observations, 5 of them positive. It did worst in December: −12.7% across 7 observations.
Why the number of observations beats the average percentage
We print the number of observations next to the percentage for a reason. 7 observations is 7 observations: on a sample that size a pattern cannot be told apart from coincidence. Interesting to look at, not something to plan around.
How to use this
What these numbers do not say
Everything above is the past. It does not say where the price goes next, but it does show the range to be ready for: $0.3504 to $53.00, with a drawdown of −85.4%.
Where to check the LINK price across exchanges
What is useful right now comes down to three things, all of them computed from live data rather than history.
The LINK price gap between exchanges
LINK costs different amounts on different exchanges, and that gap is visible in the cross-exchange scanner: it shows where the coin is cheaper and where it is dearer right now.
How much LINK you can actually buy at that price
Before a large purchase it is worth checking the order books — they show how much you can actually take at a given price, not just the best offer.
Moving LINK between platforms
And if the coin has to move between venues, the transfers section shows which network is cheaper.
