On-chain monitoring data shows that a major whale has been frequently active over the past 48 hours. Just 17 minutes ago, this whale purchased 168560 LINK tokens, spending $2.22 million in a single transaction. Looking back one day, the same address purchased 241623 LINK at a top-tier exchange. After these two rounds of operations, the whale's current holdings have exceeded 410000 LINK, with a total portfolio value of $5.41 million.

Interestingly, the story doesn't end there. Three days ago on January 7, this whale had just transferred nearly 790000 LINK (worth approximately $10.95 million) to a compliant platform for liquidation. In other words, within just a few days, the whale first significantly reduced its position, then immediately turned around and aggressively bought back—from this operational logic, the shift in market sentiment is quite rapid.

As the token of the leading oracle protocol, every move LINK makes attracts market attention. Changes in whale holdings often become a barometer for market participants. Whether this round of rapid position increase is a signal of institutional optimism for the future market or a short-term strategy adjustment remains to be further observed.
