Bids for popular decentralized finance token Chainlink (LINK) increased in the five-day period ending Monday.

The Chainlink’s governance token added $3.42, or 42 percent, to establish a month-to-date high at $11.90 in the said interval. Its gains followed a steep downside correction of more than 60 percent from its record high at $20.53 – and a mildly-stretched consolidation move.
