Arbitrum (ARB) Market Cap Reaches New High Despite Correction, Will a Rally Follow?
The price of Arbitrum (ARB) has been experiencing a downturn, with fluctuations between $1.47 and $1.74 over the past 24 hours. This represents a 9% correction in the last day and a 24% drop over the previous week, with the current trading price at $1.50.
Interestingly, the market capitalization of Arbitrum has reached an all-time high (ATH) despite this correction. This comes in the aftermath of a token unlock event for Ethereum’s Layer-2 scaling solution, which took place on March 16.
During this event, 1.1 billion ARB tokens were released into circulation, distributed among the project’s team members, advisors, and investors. While token unlocks often lead to concerns about a potential selloff and a decline in token price, the market cap of Arbitrum has instead seen an 88% surge, surpassing $3.99 billion. This indicates strong demand and investor confidence in Arbitrum’s long-term vision.
Furthermore, the 24-hour trading volume has increased by 66% to $1,181,818,256, reflecting increased trust in ARB’s potential for a reversal. However, it’s worth noting that another unlock event is scheduled for April 16, where 92.65 million ARB tokens will be released, valued at approximately $157 million.
In terms of whale movements, a subset of whales transferred approximately 58 million ARB tokens to exchanges. Though this represents only a fraction of the total unlocked supply, it suggests that some investors are responding cautiously to the unlock event.
On the technical analysis front, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) on the ARB/USD 24-hour price chart indicates that the asset is oversold. This signals a potential buying opportunity for traders anticipating a comeback. Additionally, the Money Flow Index (MFI) rating suggests a potential price reversal as selling pressure may be easing.
