While the platform is critical in many crypto sectors, especially DeFi, LINK has recently struggled for momentum.<\/p>\n<h2>LINK Holders Moving Tokens From Exchanges: Are They Accumulating?<\/h2>\n<p>However, on-chain streams from IntoTheBlock <a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/intotheblock\/status\/1849045717286858936\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">reveal<\/a> that more holders are moving tokens from top exchanges like Binance and Coinbase. In a post on X, the analytics platform observes that exchange flow over the past month has been negative, signaling sustained withdrawals.<\/p>\n<p>Usually, whenever tokens are moved from exchanges, it could indicate that owners are confident of what lies ahead. Since LINK, the ERC-20 token, is supported by many DeFi protocols, it could suggest that holders are interested in engaging with these dapps, possibly earning passive income.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" class=\"size-full wp-image-649519\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbtc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Gakgy-3W4AA_WZK.jpeg?resize=1024%2C259\" alt=\"LINK exchange withdrawals | Source: @intotheblock via X\" width=\"1024\" height=\"259\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The more transfers from centralized ramps, the higher the likelihood of prices expanding in tandem, which is a net positive for LINK bulls. According to <a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/etherscan.io\/token\/0x514910771af9ca656af840dff83e8264ecf986ca\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Etherscan<\/a>, Chainlink has a top supply of 1 billion LINK distributed to 721,996 unique addresses when writing on October 23. <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" class=\"size-full wp-image-649520\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbtc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Screenshot-2024-10-23T154809.189.png?resize=1024%2C470\" alt=\"LINK holders | Source: Etherscan\" width=\"1024\" height=\"470\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/p>\n<p>These holders have, in turn, moved LINK over 15.8 million times. A level deeper, onchain data reveals that Binance controls more than 4.2% of the total supply. LINK under their control exceeds $479 million at spot rates.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2>Chainlink Building: Will Price Break Above $20?<\/h2>\n<p>With IntoTheBlock data pointing to net outflows from exchanges, there is a chance that LINK will find support and resume the uptrend of the past few trading days. LINK has resistance at $12.3, and a double bar bear formation is printing out following the dip of early today.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tradingview.com\/x\/Fqji8Zgx\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tradingview.com\/x\/Fqji8Zgx\/\" alt=\"Chainlink price moving downward on the daily chart | Source: LINKUSDT on Binance, TradingView\" width=\"1273\" height=\"588\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>However, even if prices break higher, rejecting bears, bulls must decisively expand above the double top at around $13. The eventual spike will open the door for LINK bulls to create a solid base for a rally to $20.<\/p>\n<p>The pace of this growth depends on how top altcoins, including Ethereum, perform. If Ethereum prices recover, soaring above $3,000, it could reinvigorate DeFi and NFT demand, lifting LINK.<\/p>\n<p>Beyond this, price drivers will include the team&#8217;s progress. Yesterday, October 22, Chainlink Labs <a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/chainlink\/status\/1848576786067820702\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">launched<\/a> the Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP) Private Transactions. This feature enables data privacy without violating existing laws guarding cross-chain transactions.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The solution uses the middleware&#8217;s Blockchain Privacy Manager. This way, partner banks and other financial players can securely connect private chains with other ledgers whenever they share sensitive information.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chainlink is the leading middleware, linking on-chain dapps with external data securely.
