Chainlink on-chain metrics that support bullish outlook

Chainlink’s social media mentions have climbed across platforms like X. The sentiment of market participants towards LINK is measured by Weighted Sentiment, a metric that acts as a temperature check among traders in the ecosystem.

The supply of the token on exchanges has declined over the past three months. The Supply held by top addresses dropped between October 8 and November 8, similar to the supply on exchanges.

The reduction in selling pressure is conducive for the asset’s extended gains.
