On February 27, it was reported that Arbitrum’s native token ARB, after nearly two years of continuous decline, has now retraced approximately 96% from its 2024 all-time high and is approaching historical lows. Several technical analysts point out that ARB is in a demand zone on higher timeframes or may be entering a potential long-term accumulation phase.
From the weekly chart perspective, ARB is trading near the lower boundary of a multi-year downtrend channel, an area that has repeatedly shown long lower shadows and increased trading volume, considered a key support zone. Recently, the price has been consolidating with noticeably narrowed volatility, and some analysts interpret this as a sign that selling pressure is gradually being absorbed. Volume analysis indicates that selling momentum is waning marginally, with funds accumulating at lower levels.
Some believe the current pattern exhibits typical Wyckoff accumulation characteristics, suspected to be in Phase C, the final consolidation before a recovery. A break above the first structural resistance would be seen as the bulls gaining initial control; further stabilization above higher resistance levels could confirm a trend reversal. Conversely, a decisive fall below critical invalidation levels would negate the current accumulation logic.
As a high-beta asset, ARB is highly sensitive to the overall crypto market environment. If market risk appetite improves, ARB’s volatility may amplify; however, if the market weakens again, downward pressure cannot be ignored.
No clear directional signals have emerged yet, and traders are more inclined to wait for a breakout of the current structure before increasing their positions. For investors focused on Arbitrum’s long-term value and the Layer 2 sector, the current range has become a key area closely watched by technically driven capital.
