Closer Look at Arbitrum Price Analysis
The rise of Arbitrum (ARB) price to a new all-time high has been in the making since the mid-cap altcoin hit the crypto bear bottom of around 77 cents between September and October last year. Notably, ARB price has gained more than 162 percent since the crypto breakout last October. However, the altcoin had not fully confirmed the micro bullish outlook until late December when an ascending triangle broke out towards the former ATH. As a result, ARB’s daily Relative Strength Index (RSI) has comfortably risen above the 70 level, thus confirming the bulls are in control.
Notably, the ARB’s bullish outlook has been bolstered by the gradual rise in the social dominance volume and the number of active on-chain addresses, according to market data provided by market intelligence platform Santiment. Additionally, Santiment data shows that the ARB’s Market Value to Realized Value (MVRV) band is at a six-month high, thus indicating more holders are in profit.
