Trump’s visit to China has concluded without any major developments regarding tariffs or other crucial issues. Market watchers are now left speculating about the trip’s potential impact on tensions with Iran. Meanwhile, BTC’s price slipped below its $80,400 support, reflecting a shift toward negative sentiment across cryptocurrency markets. So, what are analysts expecting for ETH and LINK Coin as the landscape changes?
Long-term BTC holders
Coin Days Destroyed (CDD) metrics once garnered significant attention, as they track long-term investors moving their assets—a signal often seen as a precursor to market downturns. An on-chain analyst known as Darkfost recently examined the current state of the CDD indicator, shedding light on trends among investors holding BTC for extended periods.
CDD, which measures sales tendencies among BTC holders who have kept their coins for over six months, currently shows a cooling trend. The analyst notes that this decline in activity points to diminished selling pressure, which is regarded as a relatively positive sign for the market.
“The market is currently experiencing a CDD cooling phase, corresponding to relatively low activity among long-term holders. As a result, selling pressure from these investors is much lower than what we observed in the second half of 2025.
CDD is primarily designed to provide a broader perspective on market trends and sentiment among long-term investors. It should not be viewed as a standalone signal, but rather as a mid-term analytical tool.”
Should the CDD spike quickly while BTC prices are falling, it could signal the onset of a deeper selloff and a potential move toward new lows. Despite this, BTC remains in a relatively stable position compared to previous months. Yet, persistent inflation may prompt more investors to sell, heightening the risk of an extended decline.
ETH and LINK Coin projections
Despite numerous positive headlines and partnerships, LINK Coin has shown considerable weakness. However, analyst Jelle believes the trend may be starting to turn. Although market conditions appeared ripe for improvement, BTC’s recent slip below $80,400 has dampened overall sentiment, limiting the upside potential for LINK in the short term.
“The situation looks better than it has in over a year.
There was a significant accumulation range beneath a key support level, and this threshold has now been reclaimed. If market sentiment improves, we could see prices rise towards $13 in the coming weeks.”
DaanCrypto is also optimistic, suggesting ETH may soon break out from its current range. The price has lingered under key resistance for some time, but a move above $2,400 could pave the way for a return to the 200-day moving average at $2,633. If momentum falters, however, the next support could lie just above the $1,900 mark.
