Chainlink whale wallets hit 805 as 100K LINK holders rise 8.2%, while LINK trades near $9.56 below key resistance.
Chainlink is seeing a rise in large-holder activity even as price action remains weak near key resistance levels.
Wallets holding at least 100,000 LINK have reached a new all-time high of 805.
The increase comes as LINK trades near $9.56 and remains below major Fibonacci resistance.
Market analysts are now watching whether whale accumulation can support a stronger price recovery.
Whale Wallets Reach New All Time High
Chainlink now has 805 wallets holding at least 100,000 LINK. At current prices, each of these wallets holds roughly $958,000 or more in LINK.
This marks a new all-time high for large Chainlink holders. The number of 100,000 LINK wallets has increased by 8.2% over the past seven weeks.
This shows that large stakeholders have been adding exposure during a period of price weakness. Such activity is often monitored as a sign of long-term positioning.

The growth in whale wallets has drawn attention because LINK ranks among the larger crypto assets by market value.
Large holders can influence sentiment, especially when accumulation rises during quiet market periods.
However, wallet growth alone does not confirm a price breakout. Traders still watch market structure, volume, and resistance levels before confirming a stronger trend.
Sentiment Improves Faster Than Price
Market sentiment around Chainlink has also improved. The sentiment line has moved sharply higher and sits near 777. This places it close to the upper part of its recent range.
The rise suggests optimism around LINK has increased faster than price. This can show growing confidence among traders and investors.
However, it can also signal that expectations are running ahead of current price action.
The chart shows price recovering after a sharp decline from late 2025 into early 2026.
LINK formed a base during February and March before pushing higher in April. Still, recent candles show a pullback from the local high.
Price is currently moving near the mid-range area between 735 and 744 on the chart scale.
Support sits near 735, while resistance is around 744 to 748. A stronger move above that zone could open a test near 760.

LINK Price Still Faces Key Resistance
Chainlink is trading near $9.56 after breaking below the 1.0 Fibonacci level at $11.15. That level now acts as the first major resistance.
A clean reclaim of $11.15 would be the first sign of recovery. Until then, the broader structure remains weak.
LINK is still below the main retracement zone, where stronger resistance levels sit at $14.42, $17.00, $18.80, and $20.61.
If buyers fail to regain $11.15, price may remain exposed to lower support. The next key area sits around $8.00 to $7.50. This range may become important if selling pressure returns.
Momentum remains neutral to weak. RSI is near 47.7, and MACD is still slightly bearish.
For now, whale growth supports the long-term accumulation narrative, but price needs confirmation above resistance.
