However, was everything working in the token’s favor? A look at LINK’s on-chain metrics shed some light on the current scenario.

Is a trend reversal imminent?

CryptoQuant’s data revealed a massive bearish signal as LINK’s stochastic was in an overbought position, opening an opportunity for a trend reversal soon. LINK’s exchange reserve was also on the rise; it hinted at a higher selling pressure.

According to Santiment, Chainlink‘s development activity decreased considerably over the past week, which was a negative signal for the network. After peaking on 25 November, LINK’s daily active addresses also registered a downtick. Nonetheless, LINK’s MVRV Ratio was up substantially, giving hope that the price surge might continue for a while.

As per the Exponential Moving Average (EMA) Ribbon, the 20-day EMA was fast approaching the 55-day EMA, further increasing the chances of sustained growth.
