How much are 1,10,100 ARBs worth today?

In late March, Arbitrum buyers defended the $1.1 support level ferociously. The breakout past $1.42 was encouraging. The sharp dive in prices in recent days could be reversed, but traders must also be prepared for a move toward $1.1.

The area within these two levels is the golden pocket. If the lower timeframe downtrend of ARB was to reverse, this would be an ideal zone. The $1.42 level of resistance had been significant in late March. Hence, the recent breakout past it and the subsequent retracement could be a buying opportunity.

However, the OBV was in a steady decline during the past three days. This showed selling pressure, and buyers can wait for the OBV to move upward. The RSI also showed a downtrend in progress with a reading of 37. Traders must not give in to either panic or FOMO, and can wait for a move back above $1.5 before looking to buy ARB.

Even though the funding rate was positive, the sentiment was not bullish enough for a rally to occur soon. The evidence showed futures traders and spot buyers were weak, and ARB could post further losses to reach $1.3.
