Mantra’s price bounced back this week, with the ongoing drop in exchange balances signaling more potential gains. Mantra ( OM ), a leading player in the Real World Asset or RWA) tokenization, rose to a high of $7 on Tuesday, up by almost 20% from its lowest level this month. A key catalyst for the token is the continued decline in centralized exchange balances this week. Data from Nansen shows that OM tokens held on exchanges have dropped over 7% in the past seven days to 345.94 million, down from more than 372 million a week ago. The total supply of OM on exchanges has fallen nearly 3% to 38.92%.

Additional data shows that Mantra’s open interest in the futures market is increasing. According to CoinGlass, open interest has climbed to over $356 million, up from this month’s low of $319 million. Rising open interest is typically a sign that investors are optimistic about the token’s future.

Mantra price analysis Mantra price chart | Source: crypto.news The daily chart shows that OM’s price bottomed at $5.86 on March 10 and has since rebounded to $6.90. This rebound followed the formation of a falling wedge pattern, which consists of two descending and converging trendlines. Mantra also formed a bullish pennant chart pattern, characterized by a vertical line and a triangle formation. OM also found support at the 100-day moving average. Therefore, there’s a strong chance that the token could rebound to its all-time high of $9.12, about 32% above the current level. A move above that level could pave the way for more gains, potentially reaching the psychological level of $10. You might also like: MANTRA launches RWAccelerator program to boost RWA startups
