Chainlink accumulation fuels gains in the altcoin

The whale behind these wallet addresses has previously accumulated LINK and positively influenced the asset’s price. In the second week of February, the whale scooped up 5,587,368 LINK tokens worth $112 million from Binance, via 55 addresses. This was followed by a 15% increase in LINK price, in the same timeframe. 

Among other catalysts, whale activity has therefore emerged as a key influencer of Chainlink price.

LINK price is currently above the 23.6% Fibonacci Retracement level of the climb to Chainlink’s 2024 peak, at $18.81. This level is likely to act as support for LINK in its climb towards the 2024 peak of $20.85. 

In the event of a daily candlestick close below $18.81, LINK price could nosedive to 38.2% Fibonacci Retracement at $17.54, before a recovery.
