The strengthened whale activity has brought bullish movements for both assets.
Psychological Barriers on the Way
Sometimes, holders and investors just wait for an asset to break a rounded-up price point, aka the psychological block, to make a move.
In this case, the $20 and $4,000 marks have been notable targets for LINK and ETH prices, respectively.
LINK price witnessed upward momentum with the latest whale accumulation โ rising from $16.9 to $17.6 in under 12 hours.
Chainlinkโs major correction happened between Oct. 10 and 11 after the massive $19.35 billion liquidations and market-wide bloodbath, falling from $22.
The assetโs market cap is hovering close to $12 billion. LINK would need to break its psychological $20 barrier, which would also pave the way for a $25 price target.
According to data from Santiment, Chainlink is also a top two project in terms of development activity.

The decentralized oracle network is just behind the popular non-custodial crypto wallet MetaMask.
Ethereum also gained 1% in the past 24 hours and is trading close to $3,900. Holding above the $4,000 mark would define whether the leading altcoin can reach new heights or not.
Itโs important to note that the cryptocurrency market is still in a highly volatile zone due to macro uncertainty, with strong liquidations happening every day.
