On-chain data shows that Chainlink (LINK) whales have become quite active in recent days, a sign that may be bearish for the asset’s price.<\/p>\n
According to data from the on-chain analytics firm Santiment<\/a>, whale transactions hit a 2023 high just as the price dipped toward the $5 mark. The “whale transaction count<\/a>” is an indicator that keeps track of the number of Chainlink transfers taking place on the blockchain that involve the movement of tokens worth at least $1 million in value.<\/p>\n When the value of this metric is high, it means that there are a large number of sizeable LINK transactions occurring on the network right now. Generally, transfers worth more than $1 million are thought to be coming from the whales, so this kind of trend can be a sign that the whales<\/a> are active currently.<\/p>\n On the other hand, the low values of the indicator imply the whales aren’t making that many moves at the moment. As whale transactions are quite large in scale, a lot of them happening at once can cause fluctuations in the market. Thus, a lack of them happening (that is, low values) can result in a more stable market.<\/p>\n Now, here is a chart that shows the trend in the Chainlink whale transaction counts over the last few months:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n As displayed in the above graph, the Chainlink whale transaction count saw a couple of spikes during the last week or so. This would hint that whales of the cryptocurrency may have been actively trading in this period.<\/p>\n These high values of the indicator took place simultaneously with the asset’s price sliding down and hitting a three-year low of around $5, implying that at least some of the transactions may have been made for selling-related purposes.<\/p>\nThe value of the metric seems to have been quite high in recent days | Source: Santiment on Twitter<\/a><\/pre>\n
