The accumulation of whales can have both positive and negative impacts on LINK.
On the positive side, increased accumulation often indicates confidence among significant investors and can potentially increase the value of the token.
However, on the negative side, large-scale selling by these whales in the future could put selling pressure and affect the price of LINK.
Looking at the metrics
Looking at the price movement of LINK, it was trading at $16.15, down -5.28% over the last 24 hours. Despite this correction, the overall trend suggested a bullish trajectory characterized by higher highs and higher lows.
Chainlink is seeing a decline in network growth, indicating less interest in new addresses. Additionally, LINK’s velocity has decreased, indicating a slowdown in overall trading activity around the token.
LINK’s MVRV ratio has been on the rise in recent weeks, meaning holders remain profitable amid the correction. LINK’s price decline may be due to profitable holders selling their holdings to leverage their profits.
