Chainlink Whale Activity Hit Seven-Month High — What’s Next for LINK Price?
Despite a recent price pullback, Chainlink’s whale transactions are at a seven-month high, suggesting confidence from large investors. If LINK holds the $22.21 support, it could target a breakout toward $25.55.
Chainlink’s price has stalled its rally since it hit an intraday peak of $24.74 on August 13. Now trading at $22.29, the altcoin’s price has since dropped 11%.
While LINK’s price has dawdled, large holders appear unfazed. They view the dip as a buying opportunity and are ramping up their accumulation as a result. What does this mean for the altcoin?
