The spot rally is making a lot of noise, but the U.S. market channel has seen almost no new money this week — for this LINK move, don’t read a green candle as institutions aggressively loading up.
First, the main chart. $LINK is currently at 13.103, up about 6.87% over 24 hours, with turnover of roughly 55.15 million USDT. The trend-following line (SAR) is around 12.28, and price is about 0.82 above it — short-term strength still leans bullish. The momentum J value is 81.74 (K 80.03 / D 79.17), overheated, but slightly cooler than the previous round when it was pressing into the 90s. The 24-hour high is 13.356 and the low is 12.073; the recent two-day high is about 13.356, so the ceiling is right in front of us.
Two nearby comparisons: $DOT is currently 0.994, also up about 7.34% over 24 hours, sitting above the SAR line (around 0.952), with J at 74.44, still hot, and volume around 12.14 million — same direction of gains, but with a thinner market. $BTC is around 79942, nearly flat over 24 hours (-0.05%); although it is still above SAR (around 79517), its J value has fallen to about 42, so momentum has cooled first. Altcoins are surging while the broader market is resting — not the same story.
On the资金 side, according to publicly available ETF tracking data (etfllama, as of around Sept. 5): the Grayscale Chainlink Trust ETF (GLNK) has AUM of about $134.6 million, with zero daily net inflows from Sept. 1 to Sept. 5; net inflows over the past 7 days were about $1.55 million (mainly from the Aug. 29 entry), and over the past 30 days about +$12.19 million. Total AUM across global Chainlink-related ETFs/ETPs is roughly $245 million; using the same measure, Polkadot-related products total about $25.41 million — nearly an order of magnitude smaller. There is channel depth, but that does not mean this week’s spot rally is being carried by the channel.
Let time confirm the next candle; that is more useful than guessing the top.
