In fact, the breakdown shifted psychology, because buyers expected continuation instead of rejection.<\/p>\n<p>Even so, LINK still traded near a dense activity cluster, and patient holders waited for recovery signals. That cluster became the key rebound area for the short term.<\/p>\n<h2><b>Shrinking exchange reserves hint at bullish pressure<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chainlink Exchange Reserves continued falling, and the additional 2.26% decline toward 1.8 billion strengthened the narrative of ongoing accumulation rather than distribution.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Holders removed LINK from exchanges, which signaled confidence despite the correction.<\/p>\n<p>On top of that, shrinking reserves reduced sell-side liquidity and supported sharper upside when buyers returned. Outflows also tended to precede stabilization by limiting supply pressure.<\/p>\n<p>However, the $16 breakdown still weighed on sentiment, and short-term traders waited for a firmer base. Even so, persistent reserve declines built a constructive backdrop for any recovery.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_546297\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-546297\" style=\"width: 2560px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ambcrypto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Chainlink-Exchange-Reserve-USD-All-Exchanges-4.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-546297\" src=\"https:\/\/ambcrypto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Chainlink-Exchange-Reserve-USD-All-Exchanges-4.png\" alt=\"Chainlink Exchange Reserve USD - All Exchanges (4)\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1440\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ambcrypto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Chainlink-Exchange-Reserve-USD-All-Exchanges-4.png 2560w, https:\/\/ambcrypto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Chainlink-Exchange-Reserve-USD-All-Exchanges-4-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/ambcrypto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Chainlink-Exchange-Reserve-USD-All-Exchanges-4-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/ambcrypto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Chainlink-Exchange-Reserve-USD-All-Exchanges-4-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/ambcrypto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Chainlink-Exchange-Reserve-USD-All-Exchanges-4-1536x864.png 1536w, https:\/\/ambcrypto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Chainlink-Exchange-Reserve-USD-All-Exchanges-4-2048x1152.png 2048w, https:\/\/ambcrypto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Chainlink-Exchange-Reserve-USD-All-Exchanges-4-1200x675.png 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-546297\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoquant.com\/asset\/link\/chart\/exchange-flows\">CryptoQuant<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2><b>Rebound forms inside Chainlink\u2019s descending channel<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chainlink traded inside a well-defined descending channel that guided its corrective structure since early September.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The price now hovered near the lower boundary, where buyers triggered a rebound after completing an Elliott A-B-C correction.
