tradersunion.com reports that Arbitrum (ARB) is trading at $0.2123 following a daily decline of 7.49%. The asset remains below its short- and medium-term moving averages but holds above longer-term support benchmarks. Coin Turk noted that Arbitrum became the first blockchain network to reach 7,000 tokenized real-world assets.
The network’s tokenized asset value surpassed $1 billion, marking a step in scaling real-world applications. Additionally, USDai’s tokenized AI compute credit markets on Arbitrum attained $600 million in total value locked. These developments occur while price action remains under broader selling pressure.
On the hourly chart, ARB/USD trades below the MA-20 and MA-50, signaling persistent selling pressure. The Ichimoku Kijun at $0.2243 serves as immediate resistance, with momentum indicators showing continued weakness. Over the next two to three trading days, ARB/USD is expected to remain within a range of $0.2022 to $0.2224. The likelihood of an upward move is assessed as very low, with further downside viewed as the high-probability scenario.
