LINK in plain facts
Updated 2026-11-14 (UTC) · Binance spot data
How LINK behaves versus Bitcoin
LINK has a beta of 1.2 against Bitcoin: largely moves in step with Bitcoin (~1.20×). In plain terms, on a day Bitcoin moves 1%, LINK has moved about 1.2% on average in the same direction. Beta describes past co-movement over the available daily history; it is not a forecast.
What LINK moves with
Over the last 90 days its daily moves tracked XLM (0.84) and SOL (0.77) most closely among the large coins we compare against. A correlation of 1.0 would mean they moved in lockstep; 0 would mean no relationship.
Where LINK sits in its own history
Today's price is higher than on 39% of the days in its last 5 years on Binance — in the lower-middle of its range.
How volatile LINK is
Its annualised volatility over the last 90 days is 75.3%, about 1.75× Bitcoin's over the same window. Today's move: a typical day (~1.0× normal).
LINK's worst drawdown
The deepest peak-to-trough fall in this window was -82.4%, bottoming on 2023-06-19. Context: an extraordinary market period (no single event matched). This number is free on Sightglass and always will be.
