Over the last weekend, oracle service provider Chainlink (LINK) made a strong move rallying all the way to $8. As of press time, LINK is trading at a price of $7.89 with a market cap of $3.8 billion.

“Chainlink whales have gotten quite active this weekend as market prices have teased the $8 level a few times. Saturday saw 33 different $LINK transactions exceeding a value of $1 million. This was the highest whale activity day since June 27th”.
Over the last month, Chainlink (LINK) has been on the radar of investors and crypto traders. The whale activity has remained throughout strong this month of October.
