The Mantle (MNT) network has climbed to the third-largest position on the decentralized finance protocol Aave by total lending and borrowing value. According to Mantle, the network secured approximately $1.34 billion in value within just over one month as of March 2026.
This surge reinforces confidence in Mantle’s ecosystem, positioning it as a major liquidity hub. Market participants are watching closely to see whether this momentum can continue.
Price action shows a persistent bearish market structure, according to a TradingView chart. After reaching the $2.40–$2.60 range, the asset faced strong rejection and formed consecutive bearish candles.
The chart depicts a series of lower highs and lower lows, indicating bearish momentum is intact. The price is oscillating around $0.74 and remains below the middle Bollinger band at $1.37, which acts as a strong ceiling.
Ichimoku signals also support this picture, as the price remains below its cloud. It continues to face resistance at levels ranging from $1.21 to $1.70.
Technical indicators suggest weak momentum ahead, with only a hint of tentative recovery. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is at 41.76, below the neutral level of 50.
This indicates selling pressure is stronger compared to buying pressure. The MACD indicator still shows a bearish mood, with the MACD line remaining below the signal line.
The negative values of the histogram bars show downward pressure, though the bars are becoming smaller. This suggests selling pressure might be weakening.
If the price can break through the $0.91 level, there might be a small relief move up towards $1.20. Conversely, if it breaks below $0.70, it could set the stage for a move towards $0.60 or lower.
