Metrics at play

According to Santiment’s chart, LINK received significant interest from the derivatives market as its exchange funding rate hit a record high since August. Further, the coin’s address activity took the same path and registered a massive uptick, which could be considered as another positive signal.

However, the other metrics could trouble concerned investors as they indicated an upcoming trend reversal. For instance, LINK’s Market Value to Realized Value (MVRV) Ratio was considerably up. This indicated a possible market peak.

CryptoQuant’s data also revealed that things were about to get worse, as LINK’s Relative Strength Index (RSI) was in an overbought position. This increased the chances of a selloff in the days to come. Moreover, LINK’s exchange reserves also witnessed a rise, which was a bearish signal that indicated higher selling pressure. 

Should investors pack their bags?  

Maybe not, as LINK’s daily chart revealed an interesting picture. LINK, after sticking to a sideways route for a few weeks, broke out and turned its resistance into a new support level. The other metrics also looked quite bullish. For example, the Exponential Moving Average (EMA) Ribbon revealed that the bulls had a massive upper hand in the market. This was because the 20-day EMA was well above the 55-day EMA.

Moreover, the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD)’s findings also supplemented those of the EMA Ribbon, as it too suggested a buyer’s advantage. However, the Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) was resting near the neutral position, which could have LINK go either way.
