Key Takeaways
Does Mantle have enough momentum?
On the daily chart, it seemed bullish, despite it weakening over the week. On the 1-hour chart, it flipped bullishly recently.
Can Mantle set new highs soon?
The $1.69-$1.73 supply zone and the $1.86 range high must be overhauled for the next uptrend.
Mantle [MNT] set a new all-time high of $1.91 on Tuesday, 23 September. At the time of writing, it seemed to have a strongly bullish outlook for the coming weeks, with the price prediction being a move to $2.34, $2.64, and possibly even the $3-mark.
However, with Bitcoin [BTC] facing a correction and market-wide sentiment cautious due to this week’s price action, MNT will likely remain rangebound in the short term.

On the 1-day chart, the trend has been firmly bullish since August. After Mantle broke above the $0.84-resistance that had been in place since March, the strength of the buyers was established. The OBV also signaled a shift towards greater buying pressure, with the same beginning to trend higher in July.
The 20 and 50-day moving averages reflected steady bullish momentum. They also served as dynamic support levels. At the time of writing, MNT was bouncing higher from the 20-SMA at $1.6.
The Awesome Oscillator registered red bars on its histogram to reflect weak bullish momentum over the past week. During this time, MNT bulls ran into resistance at the $1.8-zone.
Bitcoin’s correction, which is still ongoing, has dented market sentiment in the short term though. The Fibonacci retracement levels showed that the $1.47, $1.377, and $1.245-levels would be key support levels in case of a price drop for MNT.
However, such a deep correction is not expected right now. A move past $1.8 is more likely. That should take Mantle’s price to $2.04 and $2.34.
Short-term MNT price prediction

Since the second week of September, MNT has traded within a range (cyan) that extended from $1.52 to $1.86. The mid-range resistance at $1.69 opposed further gains in the short-term.
The 1-hour chart highlighted the supply zone from $1.69-$1.73. MNT fell below this zone on Thursday, 25 September. And, it has not been able to climb back above since.
Finally, the Awesome Oscillator highlighted a bullish momentum shift with a crossover above the zero line. However, the OBV remained subdued compared to the start of the week. This suggested that buying pressure was not yet dominant in the lower timeframes.
