  • LINK traded near $13.07, up roughly 7.1% in the latest session, after recovering from summer lows near $7-$8.
  • Analyst Investor Jordan says a break above $12 could push LINK toward $15, with $20 as a further target.
  • Trading volume rose 25% to $503.9 million and open interest climbed 8.26% to $696.89 million.

A large Chainlink holder sent another batch of tokens to Coinbase this week. The wallet transferred 620,420 LINK, worth close to $7.6 million, on September 7.

Blockchain analytics account Onchain Lens tracked the move. The same address has now sent 2.41 million LINK, valued near $26.04 million, to Coinbase over three weeks.

The wallet built its position through earlier Binance withdrawals. It then began routing tokens to Coinbase instead of holding them.

Exchange deposits often come before sales, but that isn’t confirmed here. Blockchain records show the transfer, not what the owner plans to do with it.

LINK traded at $13.07 on September 7, up about 7.1% for the session. Its price ranged between $12.12 and $13.32 during the day.
