Chainlink, the decentralized oracle network, is experiencing a positive shift in its Binance funding rate, predominantly favoring long positions.
This development, reaching the highest level in four weeks, coincides with Chainlink’s surge in value, surpassing the $16 threshold and advancing toward $20 with minimal resistance, according to insights from market intelligence platform Santiment.
In a recent announcement on social media platform X, the Chainlink team shared significant news regarding the Staking v0.2 community pool. With the pool officially reaching maximum capacity, over 19 million additional LINK tokens were staked in a remarkable timespan of under 7 hours since the Early Access phase opened.
#Chainlink‘s #Binance funding rate ratio has skewed toward mainly longs, the highest level in 4 weeks. As $LINK has regained the $16 threshold, watch if a bit of #FOMO forms a local top, or if prices continue surging toward $20 with little resistance. https://t.co/kgn5ZGs9GB pic.twitter.com/PajHbcsvrB
