Decentraland nearing support to withstand current global markets turmoil

  • Decentraland price action is nearing two levels of vital support. 
  • Although most cryptocurrencies are heavily on the backfoot, Decentraland and Bitcoin limit any significant losses. 
  • Expect a bounce of 38% towards $3.66, making new highs for this year.

Decentraland (MANA) price action is losing ground as global markets look to be set on fire by concerns about the escalating situation between Russia and Ukraine. But MANA could be able to withstand these headwinds with the help of support just a few percentage points away. This could set up Decentraland price action for a rally  that could set new highs for 2022 at $3.66.

MANA bulls are ready to pull the trigger for the rally around $2.67

Decentraland price action looks set to have another red day, making it the sixth one in a row. But although markets seem to be on fire – and yet again, the end of the world looks near, with a possible war between Russia and Ukraine – investors can still come out winning from this crisisn interesting support level is within reach at $2.67 which could provide the foundation for a recovery. 

That level is the monthly pivot and it could halt this downtrend in the same way it did at the beginning of January. Once markets realise that talks are still ongoing and for the moment no real war has started, expect investors to look beyond the current sentiment and start to see the buying opportunities, as headwinds  quickly start to fade. Expect a bounce off of either $2.67 or $2.57, followed by a rally that could hit $3.66, printing new highs for 2022 and in the process booking a 36% profit.

Should markets fall further, and equity indexes start to trade into corrective areas, expect more downturns to come as the moves blindside investors, and buying the dip will not work as a strategy this time. Expect MANA bears to punch through $2.57 and set sail for $2.15 where the 200-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) and the start of the Fibonacci retracement level fall in line with each other. A break below, would spell a free-fall of price action as MANA re enters its corrective area and there is a general loss of investor confidence.

Near Protocol slides below $5.00 after Near Intents $4M exploit
Near Protocol (NEAR) uptrend has been cut short, as the price slides below $5.00 on Thursday. The correction comes after an exploit on the network’s Near Intents services, which affected deposits and withdrawals across 11 crypto networks. NEAR is currently trading at $4.88, below the daily high of $5.54, while falling momentum indicators suggest that sellers are gaining the upper hand.
XRP loses momentum as ETF inflows stall
Ripple (XRP) shows signs of weakness as it slides below $1.50 on Thursday. The correction from September highs of $1.66 aligns with recent struggles faced by major assets Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH). BTC currently trades above $83,000 while its upside is capped below $85,000. As for ETH, the smart contract token hovers between a narrow $2,600-$2,700 range.
Bitcoin beats September's curse: Is there enough demand for October?
Bitcoin (BTC) closed September with a 6.33% gain, breaking away from a month that has averaged losses since 2013. The buying that carried the rally, however, has thinned as October begins. Spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) ended a 9-day inflow streak on Wednesday, while long-term holders stepped up their selling. Meanwhile, a large wall of sell orders sits just above the current price.
Ethereum Price Forecast: ETH ranges as Citi raises target to $3,028
Ethereum (ETH) is trading above $2,600 on Thursday, while short-term supply caps upside at $2,700 ahead of a higher limit at $2,800. The smart contracts token mirrors broader crypto price action, with Bitcoin (BTC) struggling to regain momentum above $83,000. A breakout above the upper limit at $2,800 would encourage more traders to take on more risk, alleviating buyer exhaustion.
Bitcoin: BTC consolidates gains as ETF inflows hit highest level since October 2025
