Chainlink has always been lauded for its services, even when it doesn’t perform as per expectations. Now, due to its popularity among Defi protocols, it was being expected that the token will recover on the price charts eventually.

However, with time this expectation has withered, and now investors are realizing what they’ve really got themselves into.

Chainlink, trading at $11.3, is not only 380.33% away from its all-time high but is also at the lowest level in 17 months. The last time LINK visited these levels, the altcoin was just about to begin the bull run, which is far from happening this time around.

This is supported by the fact that LINK traders are exhibiting the highest levels of negative sentiment witnessed in almost three months.

Secondly, despite multiple attempts at saving its investors, LINK continues to lose its money, sending 528k investors into losses. These people represent 82% of all the holders that have infused their time and money into Chainlink.

This is the most problematic situation since LINK investors have actually never witnessed such a phenomenon. The last time so many investors were facing losses was back in December 2018.
