Beam’s recent decline comes after it was the top gainer on August 11, driven by increased interest from whales who began accumulating the asset. According to reports from crypto.news, this significant whale activity pushed BEAM into overbought territory.
The current drop in Beam is attributed to a price correction following its previous surge, which was fueled by whale accumulation. This overbought condition suggested a likely sell-off as investors moved to secure profits.
Artificial Superintelligence Alliance
Artificial Superintelligence Alliance (FET) had also dropped by 11%, being traded at $0.8236 at press time. The AI token had a daily trading volume of $146.5 million, with its market cap falling under $2.1 billion.
