With this growth in whale accumulation in the last 30 days, was there any impact on the token’s price?

CRV said no

According to data from CoinMarketCap, CRV traded at $1.15 at press time. Reeling under the impact of the downturn that has plagued the general market in the last month, the price per CRV declined by 14% within that period.

This decline came after a 41% price growth logged during the token’s four-week price rally in July. Source: CoinMarketCap

In the last 24 hours, CRV’s price grew by 6%. The daily Relative Strength Index (RSI) stood at 48 following its failure to hold on to the neutral 50 support in the middle of August.

The token’s Money Flow Index (MFI) was positioned in an uptrend at 66. Thus, indicating a gradual build-up in buying pressure for the token.

A look at the position of the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) confirmed this. A bullish crossover occurred on 31 August, thus, increasing the possibility of a northward breakout in the short term.
