Trader Notes: Crypto trader Altcoin Sherpa advises traders to look for demand zones on lower timeframes, targeting $25 for short-term scalping. For longer-term positions, he suggests $24 as an ideal entry. "Still bullish on this one," he noted.
Another veteran trader, Jacob Canfield, highlighted Chainlink's successful retest of its impulse breakout base, breaking local resistance, and called it "probably the start of the uptrend."
Santiment data shows that Chainlink crossed $29 for the first time in 37 months, driven by increased whale and shark accumulation.
Large wallets holding more than 100,000 LINK have added 5.69 million LINK over two months, while smaller wallets (<100,000 LINK) have sold off 5.67 million LINK.
Historically, such accumulation by large wallets often signals potential market cap growth.
However, Chainlink's success remains tied to Bitcoin’s stability, with long-term holders likely to benefit if conditions remain favorable.

With monthly gains of around 93%, around 83% LINK holders are in profit and 17% are at breakeven.
