OM price action forms a descending wedge, with $0.36 holding firm as support through multiple retests, suggesting compression near breakout.
Long-wick candlesticks on May 7–8 signal indecision and low volatility, often marking a buildup to strong directional movement ahead.
A strong close with full-bodied green candles on May 8 pushed OM near $0.375, showing buyer strength and momentum toward a breakout.
Mantra DAO (OM) has remained in a downward structure since April but now shows signs of stabilizing near key levels. Recent chart patterns suggest that market behavior is coiling into a potential breakout point around the $0.36–$0.40 range.
Wedge Formation Signals Compression at Decision Zone
Tracking OM’s recent price behavior reveals a textbook descending wedge, bounded by lower highs and consistent support. The pattern reflects a standoff between buyers and sellers, with neither side establishing momentum. Analysts are beginning to watch this range closely for signs of a breakout or renewed decline.
Reviewing the 15-minute Heikin Ashi chart, we see that OM has followed a consistent downtrend since April 21, starting from a high of $0.6480. To contextualize the current setup, market analyst Crypto Professor observes that “Price continues to respect wedge boundaries, and support around $0.36 has held through several retests.” He explains that this base is forming what appears to be a high-conviction accumulation zone.

In addition to the visual compression, it is worth noting how volume has remained flat throughout the wedge’s development. This suggests limited selling pressure, even as the asset failed to break resistance at $0.44 and $0.52. Crypto Professor adds, “The repeated inability to push lower shows that sellers are losing control at the lower trendline.”
Another key observation involves the candles formed on May 7 and May 8. Tracking these formations reveals long wicks and short bodies, signals typically associated with indecision and tightening volatility. These candlestick traits often precede strong directional moves once one side gains control.

These candles displayed minimal upper wicks, suggesting strong buyer momentum and little resistance.
