Real-world asset inflows and network issues as selling persists under macro risks

Delays affecting USDC deposits and withdrawals on the Arbitrum network were reported by the Kraken exchange. Additionally, adoption of real-world asset tokenization on Arbitrum increased, with tokenized RWAs surpassing the billion-dollar mark including treasuries, private credit, and real estate assets being moved onto the network. These developments were accompanied by ongoing macro bear market pressures, ETF outflows, and institutional risk reduction though price action has remained under broader selling pressure.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, sees Arbitrum locked in a persistent downtrend. He notes the price is trading below all key moving averages, with strong bearish momentum confirmed by nearly every oscillator and indicator. Intraday volatility is high, highlighting sustained selling pressure without technical signs of reversal. Kharitonov points to the lack of bullish triggers and ongoing institutional risk reduction as major constraints for any recovery. He concludes, "The technical setup remains very weak and there is no compelling reason to expect a trend reversal at current levels."

Viktoras Karapetjanc, expert at Traders Union, highlights the accelerating adoption of real-world asset tokenization on Arbitrum. He believes institutional engagement and integration of RWAs surpassing the billion-dollar mark set a constructive foundation. Although macro headwinds are weighing, Karapetjanc notes that broader adoption supports long-term optimism. He states, "Despite near-term selling, the underlying network fundamentals are strengthening and I expect a rebound opportunity as market structure improves."

Sholanke Dele, market strategist, views current price action as a clear reflection of negative sentiment. He points to technical breakdowns, ETF outflows, and liquidity concerns as dominant themes. Dele finds no evidence of renewed buyer confidence or a reversal catalyst in the short term. He warns, "Traders should remain cautious — risk of further declines remains much higher than the probability of a sustained bounce."

Oversold momentum confirmed by multiple indicators amid unrelenting intraday selling

Momentum remains clearly negative, with both the MACD and Average Directional Index (ADX) indicating ongoing bearish momentum and direction. Relative Strength Index (RSI) and Commodity Channel Index (CCI) are deep in oversold territory, and the Stochastic RSI confirms the oversold setup. Bull/Bear Power (BBP) is negative, signaling sellers dominate intraday momentum, and this reading aligns with the sell forecast across oscillators. The Awesome Oscillator (AO) supports the downtrend. The pair is experiencing a pronounced move lower, with the price near the low of the daily range, and intraday volatility stands at 12.81%, indicating sustained pressure after the open. The bearish momentum seen on the daily chart is fully confirmed by the price action.

Earlier, analysts noted that Arbitrum was experiencing persistent bearish momentum amid positive developments in real-world asset tokenization on its network. The current analysis strengthens that view, as continued technical weakness and outsized volatility mean traders should closely monitor for renewed selling below the $0.08 level, which could accelerate further downside.
