Highlights
- MNT remains under sustained selling pressure, trading below key moving averages and exhibiting persistent bearish momentum.

Mantle treasury loan proposal to Aave shapes sentiment after exploit
Mantle has proposed lending up to 30,000 ETH from its Treasury to Aave DAO through a governance motion (MIP-34) aimed at supporting Aave's recovery from a $292 million rsETH exploit. The loan is structured as an interest-bearing credit facility with risk controls, collateral provisions, and possible delegation of Aave governance rights to Mantle. Interest generated may be directed towards MNT token burns or ecosystem development, with the proposal currently undergoing DAO governance review.
Bearish momentum prevails with key indicators and resistance levels
Weekly technical analysis remains bearish: MNT is positioned below both the MA-20 and MA-50, which act as immediate resistance levels at $0.7963 and $1.0027, respectively. The Ichimoku Kijun is much higher at $1.1596, reinforcing the distance to a meaningful bullish reversal. Indicators show a lack of trend (ADX), ongoing negative momentum (MACD), and seller dominance, as highlighted by a low RSI (39.08), negative CCI (–66.25), and bearish Bull/Bear Power (–0.0697). The Stochastic RSI provides a mild buy signal, but this is outweighed by other bearish factors, and weekly volatility reached 9.57%.
Rangebound or lower movement expected as upside break remains unlikely
For the next seven days, MNT is expected to trade within a range of $0.59 to $0.71 based on current weekly volatility and indicator signals. The probability of a price increase remains below 20%, with the asset more likely to trend sideways or decline. Should MNT break above $0.71, a short-lived recovery is possible, but this appears unlikely given the technical backdrop. A fall below $0.59 could expose the asset to further downside, potentially retesting lower supports.
Previously it was reported that Mantle Network proposed lending up to 30,000 ETH to Aave DAO as a structured response to the latter’s recent exploit. The current market outlook for MNT remains bearish, and traders should closely watch the $0.59 support level, as a decisive break below it could trigger increased selling pressure and further downside risk.
