Whales holding between 10,000 and 100,000 LINKs also contributed to the selling pressure. The downside would be higher if it weren't for another type of large whale accumulating.

Addresses holding between 100,000 and 10 million coins have seen their balances increase significantly over the past two days. As a result, the ongoing tug-of-war has limited LINK in the current range.

LINK's 7-day MVRV rate has decreased over the past two days along with the price drop, as well as selling pressure from top addresses.

LINK bears have beaten the bullish attempts observed earlier this week. This result occurred after the RSI failed to cross the 50% level.

Investors should also note that the RSI has continued to show relative weakness since early October as selling pressure continues to abate any recovery attempt.

Link may continue down

There is still a significant probability of a price drop despite recent observations. However, the price has increased over the past 24 hours at press time.

This shows that the current short-term support range at $6.6 is still holding. In other words, traders can still take advantage of the zigzag price pattern for some short-term gains.
