Chainlink Whales Pull Millions From Exchanges On-chain data tells an interesting story.  Crypto analyst Nazoku reported that seven investors withdrew a combined 421,500 LINK tokens, worth roughly $3.75 million, from centralized exchanges within a single 24-hour window. In the past 24 hours, 7 investors have withdrawn (accumulated) a total of 421.5k $LINK ($3.75M) from CEXs, including: – Binance: 331,277 $LINK worth $2.95M– Coinbase: 62.12k token worth $551.6k– Uphold: 28.11k token worth $246.5k Whale 0x3C1D was the most aggressive buyer,… https://t.co/gMGykcYQFV pic.twitter.com/NrlT9kgC3T — Nazoku (@Nazo_ku) April 14, 2026 Binance saw the largest outflow, with 331,277 LINK tokens worth $2.95 million leaving the platform. Coinbase followed with 62,120 tokens valued at $551,600.  Uphold recorded an additional 28,110 tokens worth $246,500 moving off the exchange. Wallet address 0x3C1D stood out as the most aggressive buyer. That single wallet accumulated 132,100 LINK tokens, spending close to $1.2 million.  Large withdrawals from exchanges typically signal that investors intend to hold rather than sell, reducing available supply in the process. LINK Technical Setup Points Toward $9.40 Resistance Test The charts back up the on-chain narrative.  Price is currently holding above the 20-day middle Bollinger Band near $8.84. The upper band rests around $9.36, forming a clear ceiling bulls need to push through. The RSI sits at 54.07, above the neutral 50 line. Its signal average near 50.18 shows gradual improvement in short-term momentum without yet signaling overbought conditions.  That leaves enough room for a continued push higher. A confirmed daily close above the $9.35 to $9.40 zone could open the door toward $10.00. Without that confirmation, LINK risks another pullback toward $8.80, with stronger support waiting at $8.30. LINK coils below resistance, $10 breakout in focus, Source| TradingView Retail Interest in Chainlink Remains Strong Beyond the whales, broader market appetite for LINK appears solid. Nazoku noted that LINK rose 5% on the day, riding momentum from Bitcoin and Ethereum.  Retail investors remain drawn to the asset, with many viewing recent price dips as buying opportunities. Chainlink’s range-bound action over recent weeks has not dampened interest. If anything, the sustained consolidation near resistance with rising accumulation activity suggests buyers are building positions ahead of a potential breakout.  The $10 level remains the target to watch.
