Arbitrum Price Prediction: Is ARB on the Verge of a 120% Breakout?
Arbitrum price action on the daily chart presents a classic double bottom pattern, a bullish reversal signal that occurs when price tests a key support level twice and rebounds strongly. In this case, ARB found repeated support near $0.30 and is now trading at $0.35 after 9% intraday gains.
Arbitrum price forecast | TradingView
This double bottom pattern suggests buyer strength at the $0.30 level and positions ARB for a potential breakout. Calculated by projecting the distance between the bottoms and the neckline onto the breakout zone, the Double Bottom pattern now indicates a bullish target near $0.76, a possible 120% upside from the current level.
More so, the RSI gauges the speed and change of price movements, with values above 70 signaling overbought and below 30 indicating oversold. Arbitrum’s Relative Strength Index (RSI) is currently trending at 55.26, signaling growing bullish momentum is yet to reach peak overbought level.
Volume on the breakout day also surged to 143.85 million ARB, confirming active buyer interest despite approaching double-digit intraday uptick. Traders should watch for follow-through above the $0.50 level, which previously acted as resistance. If ARB clears that, it could validate the breakout path toward $0.76.
On the downside, failure to hold the $0.30 support in the short-term could trigger rapid correction toward the next significant support at $0.25
