It highlights a particular whale address, "0xD51b," as having bought 367,814 LINK worth $2,422,717 at $6.59 on March 15.
Here's what it signals
Chainlink has been on a steady rise since March 10, when the price found a base at the $5.90 support.
From there, Chainlink has gone on to mark eight green days out of eleven, having surpassed key barriers at MA 50 and 200 ($7.06 and $6.93, respectively).
The recent whale accumulation in the last two weeks seems to have positively impacted the LINK price.
The recent rise is also bolstered by a positive crossing of these moving averages. Chainlink might be propelled to target the $8.2 and $8.4 levels if its current rise is sustained. The daily RSI is tilting upward above the neutral level of 50, suggesting an advantage to the bulls.
