Data from IntoTheBlock reveals $1.2 billion in transactions over $100,000 in the past seven days. Around 67% of holders are currently in profit, and whales hold 71% of the supply. On-chain signals largely indicate a bullish trend for the token.

Heavily followed cryptocurrency analyst Michaël van de Poppe indicated that Chainlink is facing crucial resistance as the accumulation period of over two years comes to an end.

Why It Matters: Earlier this week, Chainlink stated on X that it is the only platform providing data, compute, and cross-chain capabilities necessary for widespread blockchain adoption and tokenized real-world assets. ChainlinkGod.eth, a community ambassador, described Chainlink as entirely blockchain-agnostic.

Sentiment data today showed Chainlink surging ahead in altcoins due to dormant wallets creating the highest "Age Consumed" spike of 5.38 billion coins (calculated by multiplying coins moved by dormancy duration). This movement pushed prices higher. The network also saw minor wallet liquidations, considered a sign of FUD, further contributing to price increases.

CoinGlass data on Chainlink's derivatives analysis showed Open Interest surging 32.8%, accompanied by a 132.8% increase in trading volume. These metrics indicate rising interest in the network from both traders and investors.

What's Next: Chainlink is widely tipped to benefit if the tokenization of financial assets accelerates.
