Mask Network price pumps then dumps as whales sell
Mask Network token surged to its highest point since December last year and then suffered a harsh reversal.
Mask Network (MASK), a privacy-focused token, rose to $3.6766, and then erased those gains and moved towards $2.
On-chain data shows that the whale transaction count jumped. Santiment data shows that these transactions jumped to 26, its highest point since May 28.
A deeper dive reveals that these whales are selling the Mask token. The supply of held by whales dropped to 28.26 million on Friday, the lowest level on record.
More data shows that the 180-day and 365-day mean dollar invested age or MDIA has been in a strong downward trend. The 180-day figure dropped to 29.6, down from 50 in May, while the 365-day figure plunged to 38 from 70.
The MDIA figure looks at the average age of all coins weighted by their purchase price in US dollar terms. A falling figure is usually a bearish sign for a cryptocurrency.
The other bearish sign for the Mask Network is its negative funding rate in the past few days. This happens when more traders are shorting an asset and are thus paying bullish ones a small fee.
Mask Network price technical analysis
The daily chart shows that the MASK price surged to a high of $3.7020 and then suffered a harsh reversal to $2.3300. It dropped below the key support at $2.50, the highest swing on April 1.
The Relative Strength Index tilted downwards, moving from a high of 80 to 54. Therefore, the token will likely continue falling as sellers attempt to move below $2 and the 50-day and 200-day moving averages. Sustained selling may see it drop to $0.9475, the lowest point in April.

August CPI "hot" just right? Wall Street intensively bets on Fed rate hike next week, Waller can't cry wolf this time
New "Fed News Agency" analyzes CPI: Core inflation has cooled annually, but short-term trends are picking up again. After the CPI release, at least two institutions that previously expected the Federal Reserve to keep rates unchanged next week have now shifted to expecting a rate hike. While Wall Street does not necessarily believe U.S. inflation is out of control again, more market participants think that, with disinflation stalling and oil prices rising again, the Fed needs to implement a precautionary rate hike as a policy adjustment. Divergence among institutions is emerging: will the rate hike in September be a precautionary move, or the start of a new tightening cycle? Whether there will be another hike in December remains a new suspense.

Its core function is to help Saudi Arabia bypass the Strait of Hormuz for oil exports. According to data from Saudi industry media, only six vessels passed through the Bab-el-Mandeb Strait on Thursday, a significant drop from 30 vessels on the 9th.
