Beam (<a href="https://crypto.news/price/beam/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">BEAM</a>) plunged to $0.0106 on Aug. 5 for the first time since December 2023. Following the market-wide recovery, the native token of the Beam network emerged as the <a href="https://crypto.news/beam-slides-into-top-gainers-list-with-33-spike-to-new-ath/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">top gainer</a> with a 12.2% surge in the past 24 hours.

The heightened whale activity around the Beam token started on Aug. 5 when its price was at a local bottom. 
Data from the market intelligence platform shows that the BEAM accumulation from exchanges has also surged following the asset’s price recovery. Per Santiment, over 162.6 million BEAM tokens have left exchanges in the past 24 hours. 
The number of BEAM tokens entering <a href="https://crypto.news/crypto-cexs-vs-hexs-vs-dexs/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">crypto exchanges</a> is currently sitting at 147 million. 
According to Santiment, the number of Beam daily active addresses has consistently declined over the past week — from 647 on Aug. 5 to 290 active wallets at the reporting time. 
Due to the increased whale activity, the Beam Relative Strength Index also surged to 72. The indicator shows that BEAM is overbought, and a price correction would be expected. 
When whale activity around an asset suddenly increases, on-chain data would usually show overheated conditions since the price could be potentially manipulated by large token holders.&nbsp; 
In addition, investors would have to take heed of <a href="https://crypto.news/crypto-at-risk-of-macro-pressure-with-no-catalysts-says-coinbase/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">macroeconomic</a> events, since they could suddenly change the cryptocurrency and stock market conditions fast.
