When non-circulating supply enters circulation, it negatively impacts price in the short term if demand fails to match.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Typically, moving tokens into exchanges precedes selling activity, which in turn causes intense downward pressure on an asset.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Historically, Chainlink wallet transfers have aligned with periods of poor performance on LINK&#8217;s price charts.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Retail investors also dump aggressively<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:

Coinalyze, Chainlink recorded 11.46 million in sell volume, compared to 10.1 million. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As a result, the market recorded a negative buy-sell delta of -1.36
