The price recovery followed a breakout from a declining pattern that lasted nearly a month, reversing its earlier trend.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Technical signals reveal that the coin has moved back above key moving averages. The token is currently trading above the 20, 50, and 100 EMA levels on the 4-hour time-frame. However, the 200 EMA serves as resistance close to $14.38. A strong break above that area could point to a shift in the overall price structure.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The next resistance appears around $15.33, matching the 0.50 Fibonacci retracement. If that barrier clears, the next targets could be $16.20 and $17.46. On the other hand, any pressure from the current region may push the price back toward support between $13.40 and $13.80.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Whale Activity Signals Confidence<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span>Wallet data tracked by Lookonchain <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/lookonchain\/status\/1982698655942603177\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">revealed<\/a> that 39 newly created addresses withdrew nearly 9.94 million LINK from Binance in the period starting after October\u2019s market pullback. The value of those tokens totaled about $188 million. This activity points to new entrants building substantial positions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>This type of accumulation usually points to a long-term strategy rather than short-term speculation.
