LINK’s recent surge can be attributed to developers announcing a new Cross-Chain Interoperable Protocol (CCIP). The CCIP is a tool that allows traditional financial institutions to connect to the blockchain. Initially, the protocol will be available on  Ethereum, Avalanche, Polygon, Arbitrum, and Optimism.

However, the announcement might not be enough to keep the rally afloat. The larger market has entered a period of consolidation, and Chainlink (LINK) might follow suit very soon. Bitcoin has once again fallen below $30k, and the market seems to be following BTC in its downward stride. In fact, LINK might already be entering consolidation as the token is down by 1.5% in the last hour. At press time, LINK was trading at $8.10.
