Chainlink is one of the most used decentralized oracles. I think there is no doubt that this coin could hit $100 in the future. Based on fundamental and technical analysis trajectory.
Indeed with long term goals this could be a great investment I think so there is another nice opportunity to accumulate in current bloody season where everything is in red. Only few people can understand the potential of this project and how big it would be in future.
yes, chainlink is a great project. as you said, the market is currently in red and experiencing a downtrend, but I think this is only temporary until the cme gap can be filled. because as we see there is a gap of around 9600-9700 and when it is filled the price will return to normal. including chainlink.
for me Chainlink has provided great performance this year, and maybe I suggest not investing in Link anymore,
because the Hype of the Defi project might end soon, and Link will be in support again
