ChainLink LINK

Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...
  • 39 wallets withdrew 9.94M LINK ($188M) from Binance this month.
  • Holder Accumulation Ratio hits 98.9%, showing strong investor confidence.
  • Analysts eye a $35–$46 breakout if bullish momentum holds.

Large investors are once again turning their attention to Chainlink (LINK) as October draws to a close. On-chain data reveals that 39 newly created wallets have collectively withdrawn 9.94 million LINK, worth about $188 million, from Binance since the October 11 market dip — a strong signal that big players are positioning for long-term gains.

These significant withdrawals suggest renewed confidence among Chainlink whales, who are moving their holdings off exchanges for secure storage, a typical move before major price rallies.

Growing Whale Activity Signals Long-Term Confidence

Data from Bitget further confirms this accumulation trend. Two large transactions — one worth $28.39 million and another worth $18.33 million — were executed within the last 24 hours, bringing total whale withdrawals to 2.6 million LINK over nine days. Analysts believe these wallets may belong to the same entity, steadily accumulating at an average price near $17.8.

This growing interest aligns with the view that Chainlink is evolving into a vital layer for DeFi, real-world asset tokenization, and enterprise blockchain integration. With nearly all active holders adding more LINK — reflected by a Holder Accumulation Ratio of 98.9% — the trend signals increasing conviction in the project’s long-term utility.

Analysts Eye $35–$46 LINK Rally Ahead

Analysts now suggest a potential upside, citing LINK’s tightening technical structure. The token currently trades near $18.56, up 3% in the past day. It’s consolidating around the 20-day SMA, and a breakout above $21.45 could push prices toward the $22–$24 zone.

Whales Bet on Chainlink’s Next Big Move

The latest wave of whale accumulation underscores growing optimism in Chainlink’s expanding role in decentralized infrastructure. With on-chain data showing near-universal accumulation and exchange balances falling sharply, LINK may be gearing up for another major leg higher.
