You have absolutely pointed out an important moment: the pattern 'pit + stable growth' often precedes a strong pump, especially for altcoins with history and good liquidity.

What does the chart $MASK say?

(let's analyze what you noticed)

Deep 'pit' (capitulation) — a classic 'shakeout' of weak hands. After this, the asset often passes into the hands of strong players.

Two weeks of growth without strong pullbacks — a sign of controlled accumulation and 'smart pump'.

Smooth upward movement structure (without wild chaos) — a signal that the pump is being prepared carefully, without dumping on the go.

Example with AUCTION (Bounce Finance) — a good analogy

In March–April 2025 $AUCTION

it also stood 'dead', then went straight up for 10–15 days.

After that, it shot up almost 3 times in a couple of days.

Back then, few believed in the growth until it was too late to enter.

A similar scenario may occur with MASK

MASK is not a shitcoin:

Limited supply: 100 million coins

Participation of Binance (included in the index)

Unique functionality: Web3 in social networks

No current 'dumping' or bad news

What to do?

If you want to enter:

Entry: zone $1.52–$1.60 (ideally on a pullback)

Stop: below $1.45 (in case of trend break)

Growth targets:

$1.85 (local resistance)

$2.50 (strong zone in history)

$3.00+ (if there is a pump like AUCTION)
