There is a growing divergence between LINK's rising prices and declining momentum, hinting at an exhausting bullish sentiment in the market.
The price of Chainlink (LINK) has surged by approximately 40% over the past week to hit $19.75, its highest level in two years. At least three catalysts have spurred investor confidence and catalyzed this buying behavior.
