• Chainlink is trading at $19.03, having a market cap of $12.90 billion and $2.48 billion volume.
• Whales accumulated 1.38 million LINK tokens, signaling strong confidence in future price growth.
• A move through $20 might trigger a new buying spree towards the $30 area of resistance.

Chainlink (LINK) is showing mixed momentum as it hovers near the $20 resistance level after a slight daily decline. Despite the latest 1.89% fall, accumulation by whales and increased investor demand signal a possible upside breakout. Analysts believe that trading above $20 may print a surge towards $30 in the near future.

Currently, Chainlink is trading at $19.03 after a drop of 1.89% in the last 24 hours. The token has a trading volume of $2.48 billion and a market cap of $12.90 billion for a 0.34% dominance in the crypto market.

Break Above $20 Could Spark Move to $30

Analysts are closely monitoring the LINK because it remains around the level of $20 level of resistance. Chainlink’s daily candle closed slightly bearish, according to CryptoWZRD. LINK has just tried the $20 level but failed to have strong momentum to drive it back below this key point.

A successful breach above $20 may create the way for downward momentum towards $30 in case Bitcoin stays positive. Analysts also noted that LINKBTC closed indecisively to indicate that Chainlink demands clearer action towards Bitcoin to affirm bullish strength. For now, investors are keeping a keen eye on short-term structures for the purpose of recognizing rapid trading edges.

On the intraday chart, LINK experienced sluggish movements and traded below $19.30. Remaining above $20.30 may indicate a possible long entry point, while a failed retest of the level may result in another decline in the short term. The subsequent directional move will significantly rely upon the direction of Bitcoin and overall market activity.

Whales Accumulate 1.38 Million LINK Tokens

According to recent post by crypto analyst Ali Marteniz, during the recent price dip, the whales accumulated 1.38 million LINK tokens, which implies that they are positive about Chainlink in the long run. Such a buildup can create a scenario for a new upward trend as soon as the market becomes active again.

While the crypto market is finding its feet, the question of the hour is if Chainlink will be able to breach its main resistance and take off towards the $30 mark.
