Whale Scandal: Did Mantra’s Fortunes Sink with OM’s Titanic Plunge?! 🐳💸

by
  • The formidable withdrawal of the “whale” and the descent of OM from $6 to $0.42 could scarcely fail to vex anyone with a penny at stake, so intense was the flurry of sellers that a carriage ride through the countryside could hardly have calmed their nerves.
  • The on-chain signals, buried most disagreeably deep, did naught but bewail OM’s prospects; MVRV and RSI were so convincingly oversold that one might presume them to be gathering dust in the attic, ignored even by hopeful aunts and ambitious suitors.

It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a token in possession of a whale’s fortune, must be in want of a price crash. Thus it is with Mantra [OM]; no sooner had a whale deposited a staggering 2 million OM (worth some $871,000), suffering what may be the most expensive lesson since Mr. Darcy’s first proposal, than $25.44 million in loss was realized—undoubtedly enough to make even Lady Catherine swoon.

This spectacle follows upon an earlier scene, when 4 million OM were spirited away from Binance (valued at $27.18 million), some six weeks past. Such grand gestures only serve to emphasise the disagreeableness of large holders coming dreadfully face-to-face with their losses—proving, indeed, that heartbreak is seldom confined to the drawing-room.

An episode so dramatic may well distress the most stoic of markets, especially when orchestrated by those of considerable wealth—whose handkerchiefs, one imagines, are now thoroughly soaked.

Did OM’s tumble annihilate all prospects—including Jane’s hopes and dreams? 🤔

The price action of OM presently resembles a Shakespearean tragedy, though perhaps lacking the elegance and retaining only the tears.

At the moment of writing, Mantra trades at $0.4152 (do note the 4.93% droop over the past 24 hours—a decline so steady even Mr. Collins could envy its consistency). From elegant heights above $6, OM’s fall beneath fifty cents was swift and merciless, its departure from the descending channel less an escape than a stumble out the side door at a dreadful assembly.

This calamitous wick may be read as panic-driven liquidation—so typical of a rout, though lacking the comfort of a large cake.

Nonetheless, the RSI languishes at 17.22 (firmly in the “everyone’s exhausted, fetch the smelling salts” quadrant) while the MACD raises its head, daring to show signs of improvement. Yet in the absence of bullish news, the market’s mood is one of sulky resignation, with not a single ball in sight to offset the gloom.

Have Mantra’s fundamentals become as paltry as Mrs. Bennet’s nerves? 😱

The fundamentals of Mantra would try anyone’s patience. According to the always-less-than-impartial IntoTheBlock, all four vital indicators—Net Network Growth, In-the-Money addresses, Whale Concentration, and Large Transactions—have aligned in a chorus of bearishness. Lizzy herself could not have found a single redeemable conversation in such company.

Net Network Growth, for instance, revealed adoption at a paltry 0.69%, a figure so modest it would not have impressed even Mr. Darcy’s gardener.

Worse—only -2.13% of holders enjoy any profit at all, making poor investment decisions as fashionable as empire waistlines. Whales, too, seem to be departing with a -0.05% slide in concentration—a veritable exodus, no carriages needed.

As for Large Transactions, they have plummeted by -11.29%; evidently, the ton is holding back from making statements at court—or, in this case, on-chain.

MVRV and NVT: The Miss Bingley and Mr. Wickham of Indicators?

As to valuation, OM finds itself in a social predicament worthy of Meryton’s most uncertain dance cards.

The MVRV Z-score, languishing at -2.36, suggests losses so deep that not even Lydia’s bill at the milliner’s could rival them. It’s true that such dire readings have, at times, preceded improbable reversals—but only should fresh demand come galloping in, red coat and all.

Alas, to trust MVRV alone would be as imprudent as trusting Wickham’s tales; price affirmation and eager newcomers are required for any real change in destiny. Should new investors deem this area a bargain, perhaps some accumulation may ensue—though hope here is akin to waiting for a favorable letter that never comes.

The NVT ratio, now soared to 26.37, fairly screams that OM’s market cap has little business existing in such rarefied air, given the meagre on-chain activity. The implication? Overvaluation as dramatic as Caroline Bingley’s attempts at pianoforte.

By contrast, Stock-to-Flow Ratio fell precipitously to 0.834, making OM seem less like rare treasure and more like common gossip in the servants’ hall.

Thus we see metrics so divided, it’s a wonder they don’t engage in public argument: NVT warns of excess, Stock-to-Flow sighs at crumbling conviction, and the whole market teeters between wild speculation and existential dread. Would that Mr. Darcy could invest some confidence!

OM at Rock Bottom, or Deeper Yet Into the Parsonage? 📉

The evidence suggests OM is not so much dancing at the Netherfield Ball as standing awkwardly by the wall—technically exhausted, sentiment sinking, and no end to uncertainty in sight.

Without some handsome suitor in the form of fresh demand or a rousing burn event, OM’s prospects remain as murky as the pond at Pemberley. A minor rally may offer some excitement (or at least distraction from embroidery), but lasting recovery awaits structural reform and the return of investor confidence—preferably tall, mysterious, and with a large portfolio.
