- Arbitrum’s Wyckoff pattern and strong $0.25 support hint at whale accumulation and potential breakout toward $0.58 and beyond.
- Despite a 7.8% drop, Arbitrum’s $1.11B DEX volume and $9.6B TVL show growing network strength amid market correction.
- Consistent buying near $0.25–$0.31 suggests Arbitrum may be forming a bullish base as on-chain metrics stay strong.
Arbitrum’s market structure is reaching a critical point as traders eye signs of a possible turnaround. According to analyst CryptoBusy on X, “$ARB is showing one of the cleanest Wyckoff structures on the chart! After months of sideways accumulation by arbitrum, the recent wick down looks like a classic manipulation move.” The ARB/USDT pair now trades around $0.3271 on Binance, marking a 7.8 percent drop, but analysts believe the pattern could set the stage for a bullish cycle. Additionally, the period of accumulation lasted from the middle of 2024 to the beginning of 2025 with prices settling at $0.40.
During that period, volume levels remained steady, suggesting quiet accumulation by larger players. Consequently, the next markup phase pushed prices above $0.80 before distribution began, causing lower highs to form. The latest drop toward $0.22–$0.24 resembles Wyckoff’s “spring” phase, often preceding an upward breakout.
Key Metrics Strengthen Despite Price Dip
Alvira, another analyst on X, noted that “something big is brewing on Arbitrum.” The data confirms that sentiment. Arbitrum’s decentralized exchange (DEX) volume stands at $1.11 billion within 24 hours. Its perpetual contracts recorded $672 million, while the total value locked (TVL) exceeds $9.6 billion.
Moreover, the price has never closed below $0.25, signaling strong defense by long-term holders. Hence, the whales appear to be accumulating while smaller traders exit under pressure.
Additionally, the daily chart shows that ARB broke below several resistance zones since August after reaching a peak near $0.61. However, in line with Alvira’s positive observation, the price has already found support in the $0.29–$0.31 range; if momentum persists, objectives of $0.58, $1.18, and even $2.43 may become feasible medium-term levels.
Technical Setup Points Toward Recovery
The combination of on-chain data, volume stability, and structural support aligns with the Wyckoff spring setup. Hence, a short-term recovery could occur once overall market sentiment improves. Traders are closely watching whether the $0.25 level continues to hold as the key confirmation zone.
