- Mantle’s price jumped 10% to highs of $1.27 as bulls pushed the token above the $1.20 level.
- The next target is $2.00, but renewed selling pressure could appear.
- Decentralized finance, tokenization and ETFs could become key pillars for bulls.
Mantle (MNT) broke above the $1.20 threshold with a 10% gain over the past 24 hours, signaling potential sustained momentum.
As of 12 December 2025, MNT was trading around $1.26. This recovery followed a recent consolidation that mirrored the broader market.
A similar pattern was seen across many tokens focused on decentralized finance (DeFi) and real-world assets (RWA).
Mantle price leans on bullish sentiment
Mantle’s price rose in recent sessions as bulls capitalized on positive market sentiment. After Bitcoin held north of $90,000, optimistic traders helped lift several altcoins.
On 12 December 2025, Ethereum remained above $3,200. Meanwhile, MNT climbed more than 10% and confidently cleared the $1.20 resistance level.
Bears had made Mantle’s advances difficult for much of the past two weeks.
This intraday spike, which saw the token peak at $1.27 before settling near current levels, occurred alongside a notable jump in daily trading volume.
CoinMarketCap data show rising activity pushed trading volume to $170 million, up about 5% over the last 24 hours.
The move aligns with a broader crypto rally for Ethereum-based assets.
Much of the momentum ties to renewed institutional inflows, ETF expectations and clearer regulatory signals.
Mantle’s total value locked (TVL) rose from $385 million to more than $430 million, helped by a partnership between Mantle and Bybit.
On 10 December 2025, Bybit and Mantle announced a collaboration with Almanak — an AI-driven quantitative trading platform.
The alliance is deploying the Almanak token on the Mantle network, providing a dedicated liquidity pool and seamless integration of its no-code, multi-agent AI strategy engine.
Mantle price outlook
Although the market remains volatile, Mantle’s price trajectory appears poised for further gains.
The blockchain platform offers a modular architecture, combining optimistic rollups with innovative data accessibility solutions. DeFi, RWA and crypto ETFs could play central roles in strengthening the bulls’ case.
After testing $1.27, MNT’s next resistance target could be near $1.50, while a breakout could propel it toward $2.00.
This outlook would be reinforced if Bitcoin finds fresh upward momentum that spills over into altcoins.
However, volatility persists, and a broader market correction driven by macroeconomic or geopolitical headwinds could embolden bears.
If MNT fails to break and hold above $1.20, a short-term bearish reversal could push prices down toward $0.90.
Beyond market conditions, bulls will watch network milestones and partnership developments. MNT reached an all-time high of $2.85 in October 2025.
