Chainlink price has climbed past the key resistance level at $6 despite a broad bearish market for altcoins this week. The price increase could partly be driven by activity from large wallet investors holding LINK, who have consistently accumulated the token this week. The trend has been significant among sharks, or holders that own between 10,000 to 100,000 LINK tokens.
Accumulation of Chainlink by sharks has fueled a rally in LINK price on previous occasions. This makes it a key metric for determining the direction of the LINK price trend. According to data from crypto intelligence tracker Santiment, Chainlink’s shark tier acquired $9.6 million worth of tokens within a three-day time frame. This increased demand is likely to act as a bullish catalyst for LINK.
