📰 News Highlights:

Mantra CEO Denies Accusations [Source][Source][Source][Source]

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.

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.

Mullin insisted that no affiliated parties, including Laser or Shorooq Partners, sold tokens during that time, promising on-chain proof of innocence.

 📈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

Bybit Fee Controversy [Source][Source]

Bybit has denied claims that it charges $1.4 million in listing fees after an X user accused the exchange of demanding excessive payments and silencing student ambassadors.

CEO Ben Zhou challenged the accuser to provide evidence and emphasized the crypto space's vulnerability to unfounded rumors.

A spokesperson clarified that Bybit only requires a $200,000–$300,000 deposit, along with a promotional budget and a formal evaluation process for token listings.
