Chainlink ($LINK) is riding the wave of bullish market sentiment, showcasing remarkable resilience and profitability. 56% of $LINK holders are now profitable, aligning with trends in other leading cryptocurrencies. This marks a shift from the bear market’s grip, where 70% of holders faced losses for over a year. Consequently, the current landscape paints a picture of recovery and optimism for Chainlink enthusiasts.

Transaction and Whale Activity

Per recent IntoTheBlock data, the Chainlink network is exhibiting robust transactional health, recording a 436% increase in daily transactions from monthly lows. This uptick is not just in numbers; the transaction volume echoes this positive trajectory. Recently, Chainlink’s daily on-chain transaction volume soared to $515 million, a figure last seen in July 2022. 

Moreover, whale activity further bolsters Chainlink’s bullish narrative. Large holders, controlling over 1% of the supply, have accumulated over 52 million LINK in the past month. This net accumulation indicates a strong belief in Chainlink’s value and potential, further fueling the market’s positive outlook.

The Technical Front

The recent technical analysis of Chainlink (LINK) against the US Dollar (USD), as traded on Coinbase, presents a nuanced picture of the cryptocurrency’s market dynamics. The price action of LINK, currently at $14.32, indicates a bullish trend characterized by a sharp rise in value. However, this upward trajectory shows signs of a potential reversal or pullback, as evidenced by the appearance of a red candlestick in the latest trading session. This suggests a temporary halt or slowdown in the bullish momentum.

Delving deeper into specific indicators, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) stands above 60. This level indicates strong bullish momentum, yet it’s important to note that the RSI has recently receded from the overbought zone above 70. This retreat could signal an incoming selling pressure, a common occurrence after substantial price surges in the market.

The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) further supports this analysis. Currently positioned above the signal line, the MACD indicates a prevailing bullish momentum. However, a closer look at the histogram reveals a decrease in this momentum as the bars become smaller. This pattern typically suggests that the bullish trend is losing its strength.
