Chainlink jumped 15.27% over the past seven days. The rally pushed LINK to an intraday peak of $10.6, its highest price since early February.

No official word from Chainlink Labs or major partners about new developments, so the rally seems driven purely by technicals and on-chain data. Sometimes that's enough.

The whale accumulation is the strongest signal. Retail traders can get excited and then bail at the first sign of trouble. Whales don't move 32 million tokens on a whim.
