Mantra (OM) Defends Crucial Support: Could This Next Move Propel It to $10?

Date: Fri, February 28, 2025 | 02:45 PM GMT

The cryptocurrency market has seen one of the sharpest sell-offs of 2025, with Bitcoin (BTC) dropping to $79,000 before recovering slightly to $82,000. Ethereum (ETH) is still down by over 4%, and most altcoins remain under pressure.

However, Mantra (OM) has defied the bearish trend, surging over 3% in the last 24 hours and successfully holding a crucial support level within its ascending channel.

Defending Crucial Support

Unlike other altcoins—such as SUI and SOL, which recently broke down from their key supports from a similar position—OM has managed to bounce from the lower boundary of its ascending channel.

The price rebounded from $7.10 and is now trading at $7.54, approaching the 50-day moving average (50-MA) resistance. Previously, similar breakouts above the 50-MA have led to strong rallies, pushing OM toward the upper boundary of the ascending channel.

If OM successfully breaks above this critical resistance, it could potentially propel the price toward the $10 level, representing an upside move of nearly 40%

The MACD indicator is currently showing signs of recovery, suggesting that the selling momentum is weakening. If the MACD flips bullish, it could add further confirmation to the breakout potential.

Final Thoughts

Mantra (OM) has shown remarkable resilience despite the broader market downturn, successfully holding its ascending channel support. If OM can break above the 50-MA, it may act as a catalyst for a rally toward $10, targeting the ascending channel resistance.

However, the overall crypto market remains in a bearish phase, which could still influence price action. Traders should keep an eye on Bitcoin’s price movements, as further weakness in the market may impact OM’s upside potential.
