📰 News Highlights:
Mantra CEO John Mullin denied allegations of insider dumping related to the 90% OM token crash, claiming wallets accused of offloading millions in tokens before the price drop were misidentified.
Who dropped the price of $OM?
Before the $OM crash(since Apr 7), at least 17 wallets deposited 43.6M $OM($227M at the time) into exchanges, 4.5% of the circulating supply.
According to Arkham’s tag, 2 of these addresses are linked to Laser Digital.

Blockchain analytics platforms like Arkham and Lookonchain suggested Laser Digital and other key investors may have moved OM tokens to exchanges just before the crash.
1/ We want to directly address recent speculation around Laser Digital’s involvement in the price action of $OM (Mantra) @MANTRA_Chain.
2/ Laser has no involvement in the recent price collapse of $OM.
Assertions circulating on social media that link Laser to 'investor selling'— Laser Digital (@LaserDigital_)

Mullin insisted that no affiliated parties, including Laser or Shorooq Partners, sold tokens during that time, promising on-chain proof of innocence.
Five hours before the $OM crash, a wallet that had been dormant for one year transferred 2M $OM to a wallet potentially linked to Shane Shin(@KeunShane).
Is this related to the rumored OTC deals?
This wallet received 2M $OM at $12.58M, but it is now only worth $1.57M.

📈Technical Analysis Masterclass:
🔍 The Bullish Pattern You Need to Know
Falling Wedge Forming
Two downward trendlines converging = a classic bullish reversal signal
This pattern often leads to a strong breakout
Think of it like a compressed spring—pressure is building
Bullish Flag Setup
Zoom out, and you’ll see a flagpole and flag pattern
The previous breakout acts as the pole; the current wedge is the flag
This bull flag pattern suggests the uptrend is far from over
📈 What’s the Target?
If Bitcoin breaks out above the wedge, the projected move—based on the flagpole length—puts the target around:
👉 $130,000
📊 Why This Is More Than Just a Pattern
Above the 200-Day Moving Average (200MA)
Bitcoin is now trading above this key technical level
Historically, breaking above the 200MA signals a confirmed uptrend
If it holds, that level becomes strong new support, fueling even more momentum
⚠️ Don't Ignore the Risks
Global events, regulations, whale activity, or unexpected sell-offs can still cause volatility
Always manage your risk and stay informed—no pattern is foolproof
