Are the tables turning for Chainlink?
Apart from the current bullish market condition, a few on-chain metrics revealed the possible reason for the price pump.
For instance, LINK’s Market Value to Realized Value (MVRV) Ratio registered an uptick, which was bullish. LINK’s social volume also remained relatively high, reflecting its popularity in the crypto space.

As per CryptoQuant’s data, LINK’s net deposits on exchanges were low compared to the seven-day average. This indicated less selling pressure. However, not everything was picture perfect as the rest of the metrics increased the possibility of LINK’s bull run coming to a halt.
LINK’s network growth has decreased drastically over the last few days, which was a negative signal for a blockchain. Moreover, LINK’s active addresses were also decreasing, indicating a lower number of users.
