cryptocurrency.com.tr reports that Arbitrum is in a holding pattern as of August 31, 2026, trading at $0.09. The asset is pinned on its 20- and 50-period daily EMAs but remains beneath its 200-day EMA at $0.11. Technical indicators show a balanced market, with the RSI at 53.07 and the MACD flat across all lines. This stability follows a decline, yet no catalyst has emerged to reclaim higher ground.
How the market reacted
