MANTRA (OM) Faces Selling Pressure as Whale Offloads $37.75M—Will $7.30 Support Hold?

• Manifold Trading’s OM exit locks in a massive 134x return on investment.
• MANTRA struggles at $7.30 support as selling pressure and volume decline persist.
• RSI nears overbought, while MACD hints at slowing bullish momentum for OM.

Manifold Trading recently moved its remaining 5 million MANTRA tokens, worth approximately $37.75 million, to Binance. According to OnchainDataNerd, this marks the final phase of its investment strategy, which began nine months ago with an accumulation of 9.33 million OM tokens for just $378,000. 

Since then, the trader sold 4 million MANTRA for $13.27 million. If the remaining 5 million OM are sold at the current price of $7.37, the total profit would reach $50.64 million, delivering an impressive 134x return on investment.

Key Price Levels and Market Trend

OM has faced selling pressure, dropping 2.93% in the last 24 hours. The token’s price remains in a short-term downtrend, characterized by lower highs and lower lows. A key support level has formed at $7.30, which has held against recent declines. 

However, a break below this level could trigger a deeper pullback toward $7.20. On the upside, MANTRA faces immediate resistance at $7.60. If the price can surpass this level, it may target the $7.75-$7.80 range.

Market Sentiment and Trading Activity

The decline in MANTRA’s price aligns with a broader drop in trading activity. Trading volume has fallen significantly, plunging 58.77%, indicating weaker momentum. Additionally, the token’s market capitalization is down 2.90%, reflecting continued selling pressure. 

Coinglass data indicate that the derivatives market has also weakened, with trading volume down 52.30% to $285.24 million, while open interest decreased by 8.40% to $429.70 million. This suggests a cautious stance among traders as they await further price action.

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) currently stands at 69.20, hovering near the overbought territory. This suggests that while bullish momentum persists, a period of consolidation or a minor pullback could occur before another leg up. 

The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) presents a bullish crossover, with the MACD line at 0.7530 above the signal line at 0.6717. However, the flattening histogram at 0.0813 suggests momentum may slow down.
