Chainlink (LINK/USD) price made a bullish breakout this week as investors focus on the upcoming hackathon in the ecosystem. The token jumped to a high of $8.7, the highest point since November 7 of last year. It has jumped by more than 60% from the lowest point in 2022.

Chainlink hackathon ahead

Chainlink, like other cryptocurrencies, has been in a strong upward trend in the past few weeks. The main reason for this comeback is the overall view that the Federal Reserve will start pivoting its monetary policy in the coming months. 

Recent economic data has been supportive of this view. For example, America’s inflation dropped to 5.0% in March from last year’s high of 9.1%. Wage growth has slowed and manufacturing output ha been a bit weak. Also, the Fed believes that the US will move into a mild recession later this year, which means that it has an incentive to go slow on inflation. 

And there are signs that inflation is slowing even when central banks pause interest rate hikes. For example, on Tuesday, data by the Canadian statistics agency showed that inflation dropped to 4.3% in April. 

The other main Chainlink news is that the developers are set to launch a major hackathon on April 28th. This hackathon will see developers from around the world compete to win cash prizes and mentorships from some of the leading players in the industry. 

According to the website, the hackathon will have a prize pool of $400k, with the winner taking home $25,000. Winners in categories like DeFi, Tech for Good, Artificial Intelligence will take home $15,000.

Chainlink’s hackathon has been sponsored by Amazon’s AWS, Flow, QuickNode, Bitcoin.com, and Truflation. Its goal is to identify projects that will play a part in growing the Chainlink ecosystem.

From workshops to prizes, #Chainlink Spring 2023 Hackathon sponsors are supporting the next generation of #Web3 hackers in building standout blockchain applications.
