Binance is the most liquid market for trading Chainlink’s token, accounting for over 7% of LINK’s volume, with high-depth order books.

Data from Etherscan shows that one of the 11 accounts holds roughly half of all recently acquired tokens, with 806,326 LINK valued at $10 million.

This account, address 0xf440838830CC265DB72C81bfBa240E5A4cEb1CC4, was activated on December 10 by withdrawing $10 worth of ETH but only started accumulating Chainlink on December 20 in four total withdrawals worth approximately $2.5 million each.

Chainlink (LINK) Price Analysis

Chainlink’s protocol token is currently trading at $12.67 per unit, having kept a low volatility during the weekend, with nearly unnoticeable one-day candlesticks on December 20 and December 21, when most of the newly created whales activity took place.

LINK traded as low as $7.90 during the historical October 10th crash, now recovered. Yet, the token is still going in a downtrend that started post-crash, trading below the 50-day exponential moving average (1D50EMA), an important trend indicator for financial assets and crypto.

Looking at its relative strength index (RSI), Chainlink goes with a neutral momentum, trying to pick up strength while investors are back accumulating.

Ether, Ethereum’s native token, is showing similar signals of accumulation as ETH reclaims the $3,000 level.
