Key Takeaways

Why is Arbitrum attracting trader focus?

Fees and Revenue jumped 90%, and DEXs Volume hit $567 billion, signaling strong network growth.

What could drive ARB’s next move?

A close above $0.36 might trigger upside toward $0.46 if market sentiment improves.

Arbitrum [ARB] continued to trade below the midpoint of the large 4-hour candle that formed during the October flash crash. Despite that weakness, the network’s fundamentals remained solid and out of sync with its price action.

ARB has fallen more than 54% year-to-date, yet recent metrics suggest potential for a rebound.

Arbitrum: Network strength vs price slide

According to Artemis, Arbitrum One has processed over 2 billion transactions, a strong figure disconnected from its market performance.

DeFiLlama data showed DEXs Volume reached a six-month high of $567 billion, with daily volume near $15 billion.

On top of that, Arbitrum exceeded Ethereum [ETH] in terms of inflows in the past three months. To be specific, ARB saw $28 billion, which was more by $10 billion than that of ETH, as per Dami-Defi’s post on X (formerly Twitter).

Others that came close were Starknet [STRK], Solana [SOL], and BNB Chain, whose numbers range between $1 billion and $3.5 billion.

Token Terminal data also confirmed a six-month high in App Fees. The network collected $3.8 million in Fees and Revenue over thirty days, up 90.4%.

Active Addresses remained near 3.9 million, while Daily Active Users climbed to 267.3 K, reversing the week’s earlier decline.

All these showed that ARB was becoming dominant in the Ethereum ecosystem due to its low fees and speeds.

However, the token needed more than just numbers in chain activity to break the YTD downward trend.

Is ARB rebound coming?

The charts spoke a different story.

ARB traded near $0.3177 at press time, hovering around the close of the crash candle. Such an event was a sign of price action weakness, as most altcoins had bounced from these levels.

The altcoin had been in a range since the 10th of October. However, this could be the calm before the storm, as consolidations usually come before rallies.

Additionally, the MACD was showing seller weakness. But the price action needed to break above the range and stay above $0.36 to target $0.46.

A breakdown under $0.30 could push the token toward $0.29 or lower.

While chain activity and Fees point to a strengthening ecosystem, traders need confirmation from the price structure before turning decisively bullish.

If broader market sentiment improves, Arbitrum’s rising network metrics could finally translate into a rebound.
