The latest price action is the consequence of growing investor confidence, also supported by massive outflow of tokens out of exchanges, which is normally a sign of long-term buying.<\/p>\n<p>Chainlink had net exchange outflows of nearly 3.86 million LINK tokens, worth over $51 million, since June 20th, according to on-chain analytics firm <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/SentoraHQ\/status\/1939604936796389465\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/x.com\/SentoraHQ\/status\/1939604936796389465\" target=\"_blank\">Sentora<\/a> (formerly IntoTheBlock).
