Chart of the Week Mantra Shines as a Guiding Light Amidst Market Downturn

**Partnership with MAG**
The primary catalyst behind Mantra’s recent performance is the significant announcement made on July 3, when UAE real estate giant MAG partnered with Mantra to tokenize $500 million in real estate assets. This announcement generated a wave of optimism toward Mantra, driving its price up by 31% in just eight hours. Despite this rapid increase, such sharp gains are typically unsustainable, as evidenced by Mantra’s subsequent decline of over 18% in slightly more than a day.

**Market Outlook and Bitcoin’s Influence**
To anticipate Mantra’s future movements in the coming days or weeks, it is crucial to consider Bitcoin’s price trajectory. Our recent analysis indicates that Bitcoin may retreat to the $50,000-$52,000 range. At the time of writing, Bitcoin was hovering around $57,000, and it currently stands at approximately $53,500.

Should Bitcoin indeed dip into the projected range, reflecting an additional 3-7% downturn, it is likely that the entire cryptocurrency market will follow suit. Historical data underscores Bitcoin’s influence on market trends. Consequently, investors are advised against long positions on Mantra to mitigate the risk of entering a declining market.
**Technical Analysis: Fibonacci Retracements and Support Levels**
Examining Mantra through Fibonacci retracements offers insight into its potential future trajectory.
*Short-term analysis:* Mantra’s recent price found support at the 78.6% Fibonacci retracement level from the June 24 to July 5 range. This level corresponds with the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement from the low in December 2023 to the peak in June 2024, as well as the 100-day moving average on the daily timeframe. Should Bitcoin stabilize at its current levels, Mantra may consolidate around $0.75.
*Downside risk:* Further market declines are likely to render positive news ineffective in sustaining Mantra’s price. The token could regress to its historical support levels, aligning with macro Fibonacci retracements from lows in December and February to the June peak, potentially descending to the $0.652-$0.683 range.
**Strategic Considerations**
When evaluating tokens that diverge from conventional market trends, it is essential to assess the broader market context. Investors should consider the following factors:
– **Impact of News:** Evaluate whether the news driving the token’s price is substantial enough to counter broader market dynamics.
– **Market Resilience:** Determine whether positive developments can withstand market downturns or if the token will mirror overall market trends.
The strategy involves shorting Mantra from its current price point toward the $0.652-$0.683 range. This is considered a high-risk maneuver, predicated on the assumption of further Bitcoin declines. Bitcoin has already depreciated significantly from $63,000 to $53,500. While our projection centers on $50,000-$52,000, this trade remains precarious due to the potential reversal of market sentiment. Additionally, any forthcoming announcements from Mantra could prompt further price increases. Our stance hinges on two scenarios: Bitcoin’s further decline and no additional significant announcements from Mantra.
In conclusion, shorting Mantra appears promising under current market conditions and amid Bitcoin’s anticipated downturn. However, investors must carefully weigh the associated risks.
