However, the crypto analyst, Nehal, highlighted that ARB is currently in a compressing phase in a falling wedge. It has been in a downtrend for a while, and a bullish reversal pattern is a sign of weakening selling pressure.
Traders believe that a breakout is possible, given that a sharp move is anticipated from a compression in prices. There is a focus on resistance levels for a change in this market trend.

A breakout, confirmed by a strong close above resistance, could propel a swift move towards the $2+ supply zone, where sellers could return to the market.
Volume and sentiment will be important factors in this move, with a pickup in buying volume supporting the momentum.
Nehal notes that the current structure in ARB is presenting a good trading opportunity for those looking to make a profit in the short to medium term.
