The third week of September has seen an uptick in broader crypto market participation, with renewed buying pressure lifting the global crypto market capitalization by 3% over the past seven days. This rebound has not gone unnoticed by large investors, as whale activity shows increasing accumulation of select altcoins.
**Chainlink (LINK)**
Sponsored LINK, the native token of leading oracle network provider Chainlink, is one of the tokens crypto whales bought this week. According to on-chain data from Santiment, during the period in review, whale addresses holding between 100,000 and 1 million LINK have acquired 2.5 million tokens, valued at above $61 million at current market prices.
As of this writing, LINK trades at $24.43. If whale accumulation persists, it could push the altcoin’s price toward $26.89, a high it last reached on August 23. On the other hand, if demand falls, LINK’s price could reverse its trend and drop below $23.48.

**Cronos (CRO)**
Sponsored Cronos (CRO) has also emerged as a whale favorite this week, with large-holder activity spiking by 29% over the past seven days, according to Nansen data. The uptick in accumulation signals renewed confidence among big-money players in the token.
If this wave of whale buying continues, it could provide the momentum needed to push CRO toward the $0.27 level. Conversely, if demand weakens, the token risks sliding back toward $0.19 in the near term.

**Toncoin (TON)**
TON’s recent price consolidation over the past few days has opened the door for accumulation by some crypto whales. According to on-chain data from Santiment, whale addresses holding between 1 million and 10 million TON tokens have increased their holdings by 5% during the week under review.
If this trend continues, TON could break out of its sideways trend and rally to $3.20. However, once selloffs resume, its price could fall to $3.04.

With increased whale activity in these select altcoins, market watchers will be closely monitoring whether this buying pressure can sustain a positive price trajectory or if weakness in demand will cause reversals.
