About the chainlink price
LINK is the token of Chainlink, an oracle network that delivers off-chain data such as market prices to smart contracts on many blockchains. The live price is published only when two independent feeds agree (TradingView's real-time exchange price, Yahoo Finance and CNBC's Coin Metrics reference rate). Crypto trades around the clock, so the daily change and the history use the close at midnight UTC.
