Chainlink

Chainlink suffers losses as the token continues to follow the broader market wave of bearish pressure. According to <a href="https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/chainlink" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Coingecko</a>, the token is down 23% in the past 24 hours, representing a significant wipe in value after the price stabilized in the $13 to $14 price range.&nbsp; 
The crypto market continues to be <a href="https://www.investing.com/news/economy/slumping-us-futures-nikkeis-hefty-fall-bitcoin-weakness--whats-moving-markets-3554007" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">influenced</a> by outside forces in the short to medium term, with the anxieties of private equity bleeding into the crypto market turning the correction into an absolute bloodbath.&nbsp; 
<h2 id="what-s-in-it-for-chainlink">What’s In It for Chainlink?</h2> 
LINK’s niche of capturing and streaming price feed data to partners has been shaken by the recent groundbreaking market movements that have shown that the token fails to capture any value.&nbsp; 
In a recent X <a href="https://x.com/chainlink/status/1819341768854217160" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">post</a> detailing recent developments that may affect the crypto world, supporters of Chainlink left comments that show their skepticism of its relevance to the LINK token.&nbsp;

“What does any of this have to do with the<a href="https://x.com/search?q=%24Link&amp;src=cashtag_click" rel="nofollow"> $Link</a> token? The token is what funded you guys from the very beginning to [the] present day. How is it capturing value?” a <a href="https://x.com/TTLinkie3299/status/1819345929733812239" rel="nofollow">user</a> on X said in their comment.

Despite the skepticism of the follower base in Chainlink, the organization continues to receive positive news at the start of the month. Last week, Concero, a blockchain infrastructure platform, <a href="https://medium.com/@concero/concero-integrates-chainlink-ccip-to-unlock-cross-chain-defi-c86456390f3f" rel="nofollow">announced</a> its selection of Chainlink’s CCIP for “secure cross-chain interoperability.”&nbsp; 
Concero also joined Chainlink Build, a partnership program that grants them enhanced access to Chainlink services which guarantees the quality of the data stream they’ll receive.&nbsp; 
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" src="https://www.tradingview.com/x/erv3jgdr/" alt="" width="2475" height="1163"> 
Another addition to the Chainlink Build family is <a href="https://x.com/Rivalz_AI" rel="nofollow">Rivalz AI</a>, the “first AI intel layer”, which will help the latter in the <a href="https://x.com/chainlink/status/1819040404349882765" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">security</a> of its AI-driven data network. Since the Build program is a two-way street, Rivalz made 3% of its token supply available to Chainlink stakers and providers which is an enticing offer to would-be stakers on Chainlink. 
However, sell pressure <a href="https://cryptoquant.com/asset/link/chart/exchange-flows/exchange-inflow-total?exchange=all_exchange&amp;window=DAY&amp;sma=0&amp;ema=0&amp;priceScale=log&amp;metricScale=linear&amp;chartStyle=column&amp;from=1720108800000&amp;to=1722873599999&amp;img=link%2F66b097910b1339737dced47c.png" rel="nofollow">continues</a> to plague LINK completely negating the attractiveness of the new additions to Chainlink’s growing Build program. 
The platform also suffered a massive outflow of staked crypto. According to <a href="https://defillama.com/protocol/chainlink-staking#information" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">DeFiLlama</a>, Chainlink suffered a 20% decrease in total value locked (TVL). 
<h2 id="more-losses-in-the-short-to-medium-term-for-link">More Losses In The Short To Medium Term For LINK</h2> 
At its current position, LINK will continue to face losses if the token falls well beyond its October 2023 level.&nbsp; 
LINK bulls should keep defending the $8.3 support as this will enable them to secure better positions in the long term. However, the current environment of anxiety and fear will hinder efforts to retake lost ground.&nbsp; 
Investors and traders should then exercise caution as the market might follow the downward spiral that started with the correction phase that started last week.&nbsp;
