#数字货币市场洞察 $LINK Spot Market Deep Dive | 2025.12.8



**Market Status: Games in the Pullback**
LINK price has slipped from a high of $14.11 to $13.57. On the surface, it looks like technical weakness combined with retail profit-taking, but signals of institutional entry and whale accumulation are telling another story.

**Three Signals You Can't Ignore:**

**Institutions Are In**
Grayscale just launched the first-ever spot LINK ETF product line in the US. What does this mean? The entry channel for traditional funds has been opened—no longer just a small circle game.

**Smart Money Is Accumulating**
On-chain data shows that whales have recently accumulated over 22 million LINK—and their entry price is even higher than the current market price. Such contrarian buying is a clear bet on the medium-to-long-term trend.

**Fundamentals Are Intact**
LINK’s dominance in the oracle sector remains solid, and the new tokenomics model continues to capture value. Some analysts have directly set a long-term price target of $100-$150.

**But There Are Plenty of Short-Term Troubles:**

Technical indicators are flashing warnings: MACD death cross, RSI(6) approaching oversold territory, strong bearish sentiment.

Retail investors and whales are moving in opposite directions. The former are selling off under profit-taking and long liquidation pressure, with visible lack of buying confidence.

Key support levels are on shaky ground—if they don’t hold, we may see a test of $12.7 or even a deeper $8 support zone.

**The Current Dilemma:**
Long-term logic is solid, and smart money is positioning; but short-term sentiment and technicals are bearish. In this split scenario, which side are you on?

Institutions are bottom-fishing and smart money is buying up again, while retail investors are still anxiously selling at a loss... This split situation is really something else.

Institutions are really coming in, but retail investors are still dumping... This disconnect feels a bit uncomfortable.

honestly the grayscale etf move reeks of classic institutional positioning... retail getting liquidated while whales accumulate above market price? that's not organic price action, that's orchestrated

Wow, Grayscale opened the floodgates and it's still dropping? This really shows that this phase is institutions accumulating, while retail investors have been scared out. Perfect...

Institutional entry sounds nice, but to me this pullback is just another scythe—retail investors are going to get cut again. Do those whales have a higher cost basis than the current price? Please, they've locked up their holdings long ago; we're just the bag holders.
