Why Chainlink is down 2.2% in the last hour

Analysis

Chainlink (LINK) fell 2.2% over the past hour despite a broadly positive catalyst in the news, suggesting the move was likely driven by short-term profit-taking or broader market selling rather than a new negative headline. CryptoNews reported that Kraken is switching from LayerZero to Chainlink’s CCIP, a development framed as beneficial for LINK holders, but the market reaction in this 1-hour window still skewed lower.
