About Chainlink (LINK) weekly returns

This page lays Chainlink (LINK)'s history out one row per year, 52 week slots straight across, grouped under the month they belong to. The 2020 DeFi-summer weeks are LINK's brightest slots — the oracle narrative led the market then, and the strip shows the run arriving weeks before the majors' own banner stretches. Later years bring sparser, headline-driven bursts.

A week's return is its last daily close against the last close of the previous slot — fixed chunks of calendar days, not ISO weeks, so columns align across years. LINK's data starts at its perpetual listing in early 2020. As the original DeFi bellwether it front-ran the 2021 cycle — several of its best stretches arrived earlier than the majors'.

Frequently asked questions

How much is LINK up or down this week?

Chainlink is up 0.5% so far in week 44 (October) of 2026, from the last daily close of the previous week slot to the close of 31 October 2026 (UTC). Coinfuty's weekly grid uses 52 fixed slots per year (5, 4 and 4 per quarter month), so this cell keeps moving until the slot ends.

What was LINK's return last week?

Chainlink returned −5.0% in week 43 (October) of 2026, its most recent completed week slot. The median return for that week slot on record is +7.8%.

What are LINK's best and worst weeks of 2026 so far?

Of the 43 completed week slots of 2026, Chainlink's strongest was week 34 (August) at +23.9% and its weakest week 5 (January) at −13.3%. 18 of 43 closed positive. The current slot is excluded until it ends.

What does LINK usually return in this week of the year?

Across 9 prior years on record, the median return for week 44 (October) is −3.5% for Chainlink. The best was 2018 at +15.6% and the worst 2017 at −23.8%; 4 of 9 closed positive.

What are LINK's best and worst weeks on record?

Across 474 completed week slots on record, Chainlink's best week was week 39 (September) 2017 at +244.2% and its worst week 11 (March) 2020 at −56.5%. 237 of 474 weeks (50%) closed positive.

When were LINK's strongest weeks?

In the 2020 DeFi-summer rows, when the oracle narrative made LINK a market leader — its most saturated slots predate the majors' 2021 peaks. The strip makes that timing offset easy to see.

Which weeks does LINK's history cover?

LINK's history here begins at its first daily perpetual-futures candle on Binance in early 2020. Week slots start with the first complete slot after the listing, and dashed cells mark slots before it — pre-listing history is not backfilled.

How is a weekly return calculated here?

The last daily close of the week slot divided by the last close of the previous slot, minus one, in USD on UTC boundaries. Slots are equal chunks of calendar days within each month, not ISO weeks, so columns align across years.
