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)
