Arbitrum beats Ethereum in inflows: Yet ARB price lags – Here’s why

by

Key Takeaways

Why is Arbitrum attracting trader focus?

Well, it turns out Arbitrum is having a bit of a moment. Fees and revenue surged by 90%, and its decentralized exchange (DEX) volume hit a staggering $567 billion. That’s not exactly a number you sneeze at, unless you’re allergic to success. 🚀

What could drive ARB’s next move?

Don’t hold your breath, but if ARB manages to hover above $0.36, we might just see it zooming toward $0.46. If market sentiment behaves itself, of course. 😉

So here’s the thing: Arbitrum [ARB] is trading lower than the midpoint of a ginormous 4-hour candle that formed during the October flash crash. Not exactly a glowing endorsement, right? Despite the price being all moody and falling more than 54% this year, the network’s fundamentals are stronger than a protein shake on leg day. 💪

Arbitrum: Network strength vs price slide

According to Artemis, Arbitrum One has already processed over 2 billion transactions. Yes, you read that right. Over 2 billion! But, surprise, surprise, that number isn’t exactly reflected in ARB’s price action. 🙄

Meanwhile, DeFiLlama is over here showing off. DEXs volume hit a six-month high of $567 billion, with daily volume averaging $15 billion. Y’know, just casually setting records like it’s nothing. 🏅

And, here’s where things get extra juicy: Arbitrum outpaced Ethereum [ETH] in inflows over the past three months. That’s right-$28 billion in ARB compared to ETH’s $18 billion. Guess who’s the new kid in town? 🤑

Other blockchains like Starknet [STRK], Solana [SOL], and BNB Chain were trying to catch up, but they’re trailing behind with numbers in the $1 billion to $3.5 billion range. Not quite the same league. 🙄

Token Terminal data? Oh, it’s also backing up Arbitrum’s success with a six-month high in app fees. $3.8 million in fees and revenue over thirty days, up 90.4%. Someone hand this network a trophy. 🏆

Active addresses are hovering near 3.9 million, while daily active users have climbed to 267.3K. Oh, and a little dip earlier in the week? Nothing a good ol’ recovery can’t fix.

In short, Arbitrum is cruising along, taking over Ethereum’s territory with its low fees and quick speeds. But there’s a tiny hitch: the price just hasn’t followed the hype. Classic, right? 🙄

Is ARB rebound coming?

Now, let’s get to the real juicy bit: the charts. If you’re hoping for a sudden price surge, spoiler alert: ARB is trading at around $0.3177, just chilling at the bottom of the October crash candle. Yep, not exactly the thrilling bounce some might expect after a market dip.

The token has been stuck in a range since October 10th. It’s like waiting for the weather to change: calm before the storm? Maybe. But let’s not get too excited just yet. ⏳

Here’s where things get a little spicy: the MACD is showing signs of weakness from sellers. Translation? The bears might be losing their grip. But ARB still needs to break above $0.36 and hold that line to shoot for $0.46. If not? Well, $0.29 is waiting in the wings. 🧐

Despite all this on-chain activity, ARB’s price needs to catch up. Traders need confirmation from the price structure to turn “decisively bullish.” Sounds like a diplomatic way of saying “we need to see it to believe it.” 🤷‍♂️

In the end, if the broader market sentiment shifts to the “good vibes only” zone, Arbitrum’s metrics might finally translate into a price rebound. Here’s hoping. 🤞
