large wallets accumulated 512,595 LINK worth approximately $3.78 million within four days.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The largest wallet acquired 120,675 LINK,

of its broader range, suggesting that large holders viewed current prices as attractive accumulation levels.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, price had not immediately reflected that confidence before the recent breakout.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even so, the steady purchases reduced concerns about large-scale distribution and instead reinforced the view that large investors had positioned themselves ahead of a potential trend reversal.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Long traders continue backing the recovery<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Binance&#8217;s top traders maintained a strong bullish bias despite the recent correction.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Long accounts represented 70.39% of positions, while short accounts accounted for 29.61%, producing a Long\/Short Ratio of 2.38.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Those figures showed that experienced market participants continued favoring higher prices even before LINK completed its technical breakout.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, leveraged positioning alone never guarantees sustained gains because sentiment could change quickly around major resistance levels.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Despite that, the persistent dominance of long accounts aligned with the whale accumulation narrative.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If buying pressure continued increasing, leveraged bulls would likely remain in control as the market attempted to extend the breakout.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_613019\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-613019\" style=\"width: 998px\"

participants rather than speculative retail demand.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, broader retail participation often strengthened sustained rallies after

style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The move marked the first decisive break from the structure that had guided lower highs since early May, indicating that bearish control had weakened.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The token also reclaimed the $7.18 support, which now serves as the first level that buyers need to defend if the breakout is to remain valid.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Meanwhile, the RSI climbed to 41.79 from deeply oversold levels, showing that buying strength improved without entering overbought territory, leaving room for further upside.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If LINK holds above the broken trendline, buyers could drive the token toward the $8.30 resistance, with $9.50 emerging as the next major upside target after a successful breakout above that level.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, if price falls back below the
