ARB Leads Early Altcoin Rally With Bullish Signals
Arbitrum (ARB) continues to push higher, with growing signs that the uptrend may extend further. The crypto analyst Michaël van de Poppe notes that even if the token experiences a 10–20% pullback, it would likely represent a normal mid-trend correction rather than a reversal.
It allows the market to consolidate before potentially resuming its upward trajectory with renewed strength and confidence.

Market trends suggest that there may be an altcoin cycle developing on a grander scale, with such cycles normally lasting between three and six months.
In case the theory is proven correct, then ARB might just be in its early stages, thus encouraging traders to go for a buy-on-the-dip approach for the sustained gains.
Technical Indicators Point to Improving Momentum
According to TradingView, ARB has been experiencing a gradual downtrend but managed to capture some minor bullishness recently.
Currently, the price is at roughly $0.12462 and trading in a range from the middle to the upper Bollinger Bands. This could indicate a potential change in momentum, but the recent drop implies that resistance is likely at the upper band boundary.

While the histogram of the MACD is now showing strong positive bars, indicating recent strength, the convergence of the two lines indicates a slowdown in momentum, and this occurs amid an overall bearish scenario.
This could mean that the present advance could just be a relief rally and is not sustainable. It will be important for the price to remain above the middle Bollinger band’s line.
