LINK whales trigger price rally

Meanwhile, the whales collected $77 million worth of LINK. Chainlink whales have accumulated nearly 11 million worth of LINK over the past month. The total value of these tokens is $77 million.

LINK accumulation of whales

According to Santiment’s on-chain data, Chainlink “outlined the altcoin pack” on July 26, 2023, thanks to large transaction volumes. Compared to the $211 million trading volume the previous day, LINK jumped more than 100% with $344 million in volume on July 26. LINK price rises with heavy whale accumulation. The altcoin has recorded the highest amount of transactions so far in 2023, with a valuation of over $1 million. Also, crypto addresses holding 100,000 to 10 million LINK coins continue to accumulate coins quickly. Meanwhile, according to the analysis, LINK’s recent breach of resistance at $7.7 highlights the new resistance level at $9.

PEPE whales collect tokens

The recent surge in PEPE has come as Dogecoin has also been enjoying bullish headwinds recently. The last rally was with whales participating in some buying activities. According to Lookonchain, two whales recently bought a large chunk of the meme coin using Ethereum. The first of these huge investors bought around 874 billion PEPEs using 600 ETH ($1.12 million). The meme coin was hovering around $0.000001286 at the time this owner was making transactions. In other words, the investor has made more than 9% profit so far.

This whale (pronounced “yougetnothing.eth”) has been an avid altcoin trader over the past three months.

The other whale, which made a big purchase of PEPE today, was a little late to the party. Because while the price of meme coin was trading around $ 0.000001366, it bought 500 ETH ($ 938,000) and 658 billion PEPE.

Of course, this owner is also in profit. However, their earnings are currently only around 3%. So it will be much less than the other whale will manage to achieve.
