Whale Activity Shows Mixed Signals

One whale wallet accumulated 70.64 million MON tokens since launch. The buyer spent $2.13 million USDC at an average price of $0.03267 per token. The wallet currently holds unrealized losses of $250,000.

Other wallets holding over one million dollars worth of MON accelerated their selling. The selling from large holders happened while other whales continued buying the dip.

Former BitMEX CEO Arthur Hayes bought MON on November 27. He sold all his holdings two days later on November 29. Hayes criticized the token structure as high FDV with low circulation. This means the project has a large fully diluted value but only a small percentage of total supply trades publicly.

Monad CEO Keone Hon responded to Hayes’ comments about the risks associated with MON. Hayes’ public criticism and sell-off added pressure to the token price.

Network Metrics Paint Different Picture

Monad’s stablecoin supply continues climbing and reached $451 million. This represents one of the few positive indicators for the network.

Data from cookie.fun shows overall sentiment around Monad leans bullish. The project maintains one of the highest mindshare levels compared to other new projects.

The price chart shows reaction at a demand zone between $0.0282 and $0.0288. Multiple rounded lows in this area indicate buyers absorbed selling pressure. The token moved up to $0.0302 after finding support.

The RSI indicator sits in the low 60s, showing improving momentum without overheating. If the price holds above $0.0294, the technical structure favors a move toward $0.0313 and potentially $0.0332.

Market analysts note whale accumulation during price dips historically precedes market bottoms. The selling pressure creates liquidity that can attract new buyers and push prices higher.
