Bridging options shift as USDC support and wallet features evolve

Hyperliquid is retiring its Arbitrum bridge in favor of native USDC support on HyperEVM, with users retaining the option to withdraw via Arbitrum bridge if necessary. Recent updates for Arbitrum users emphasize the importance of selecting compatible tokens when bridging assets and maintaining sufficient ETH for fees. Wallet comparisons have also highlighted specific features for ARB governance participation and long-term storage.

Divergent intraday momentum as mixed signals fuel volatility

Momentum signals are mixed: while the D1 MACD shows strong bearish momentum, the ADX indicates continued seller strength but is not at extreme values. Oscillators are conflicted — RSI at 43.26 is slightly bearish, but Stoch RSI is deeply overbought (90), and CCI is neutral; BBP points to mild buyer dominance intraday. The Awesome Oscillator is neutral and does not reinforce the recent up move. There was no significant gap between the previous close and today’s open, with the price now trading just below today’s high ($0.2302), reflecting strong volatility and strength toward session highs, though intraday dynamics remain divergent with both buying and overbought signals present.

Sideways movement expected as weekly bearish signals persist

For the next five trading days, the expected range is $0.2170 – $0.2470, normalized to stay within ±10% of current levels as a typical volatility band. The probability of a price increase is very low (less than 20%), while the likelihood of a decline is much higher given the persistently bearish signals on the weekly timeframe. The baseline scenario calls for sideways movement within the $0.2170 – $0.2470 corridor. A bullish scenario may play out if ARB/USD breaks and holds above $0.2470, while a bearish turn could see the price slipping below $0.2170 and reverting to the recent lows.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, sees Arbitrum trading within a bearish technical structure despite a brief intraday rebound. He notes that strong seller momentum on weekly charts and mixed signals from momentum indicators limit upside potential. News about Hyperliquid’s bridge changes and wallet features does not outweigh persistent negative price action. "I remain cautious and expect sideways or lower movement unless $0.2470 is convincingly reclaimed."

Previously it was reported that Arbitrum stabilized slightly above its short-term moving average while remaining under medium- and long-term averages, signaling ongoing bearish pressure despite an uptick in network flows. Technical indicators present diverging signals, with MACD and ADX confirming negative momentum and resistance aligning with the Ichimoku Kijun, while the expected price range for the next sessions highlights the risk of renewed downside unless a decisive breakout occurs.
