Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, sees a persistent and broad-based downtrend in Arbitrum as the price remains well below all major moving averages. He notes that the current technical pattern signals strong negative momentum, with a lack of supporting news further dampening sentiment. Kharitonov is skeptical of the recent intraday attempts at stabilization, emphasizing that daily losses of nearly 12% indicate sellers are firmly in control. Weakness at both trend and intraday levels point to elevated risk and limited prospects for a sustainable reversal near term. He warns, "Until ARB can reclaim at least the $0.2047 level, any technical bounce should be viewed as an opportunity for defensive positioning, not optimism."

Viktoras Karapetjanc, expert at Traders Union, recognizes current weakness but maintains a constructive perspective for Arbitrum’s broader outlook. He highlights that the market’s high volatility and oversold signals could set the stage for a recovery, even if news flows are absent right now. The expert believes price may build support near session lows and sees upside potential if resistance at $0.2047 is reclaimed. He is confident that "the market’s structure remains intact for a bullish reversal, and further growth is possible once technical buyers step back in."

Jainam Mehta, market strategist, takes a scenario-based approach. He notes that while downward momentum dominates, the oversold Stoch RSI and intraday divergences may offer a tactical contrarian entry for aggressive traders. Mehta also points out that, in the absence of news, ARB will likely remain range-bound between $0.1769 and $0.2018 until a clear breakout. He advises, "Should ARB pierce above $0.2047, momentum traders could position for a short-lived rebound."

Momentum divergence as short-term buyers fail amid strong downtrend

Momentum indicators show mixed signals. Daily MACD and ADX both project a mild bullish bias, but oscillators are inconsistent, with RSI and CCI reflecting moderate recovery while Stoch RSI leans oversold. Bull Bear Power suggests temporary buyer control intraday, though the daily move is sharply lower with ARB falling 11.99% after a small gap down from $0.2193 to $0.2057, now trading near today's low in a high-volatility session. This downward momentum dominates, and pressure has persisted since the open, even as some oscillators attempt to signal stabilization, highlighting a divergence between trend momentum and intraday price action.

Previously it was reported that Arbitrum continues to trade well below its key weekly moving averages, with sustained selling pressure confirmed by negative MACD, low ADX, and oversold RSI readings. Over the upcoming week, analysts note that rangebound price action is expected, with pronounced volatility and limited upside as the asset faces persistent supply-side pressures alongside consolidation within the $0.1738–$0.1988 band — a scenario detailed in the sustained selling pressure confirmed by negative MACD.
