After trading sideways for almost a month, the Arbitrum (ARB) price suddenly dropped yesterday, August 16.
The token dropped by 20% in the last 30 days, going from $1.2599 on July 17 to $1.040 on August 17.
The first price drop took place around July 26, when the price dropped to a support at $1.150. It remained around this level for several weeks, including the final week of July and August.
Between August 1 and August 8, the price dropped below $1.150, but it stayed close to this level, treating it as a resistance it intended to breach.
This finally happened on August 8, when the price surged, climbing to $1.183. However, it continued declining in the following days until it stabilized at $1.150 again.
On August 16, however, it continued to drop until it finally hit $1.036 earlier today, August 17, dropping 11.29% in the last 24 hours. At the time of writing, ARB’s price sits at 1.05.
Will Arbitrum recover in coming weeks?
Typically, whenever a cryptocurrency sees a sharp price movement, it is followed by a strong counter-reaction.
When the token price drops sharply, it tends to find support to bounce back up. Similarly, sudden surges tend to hit a resistance rejecting the price.
ARB’s sudden and intense price crash could lead to a price elevation in the coming days or weeks. This is the idea of one of the analysts, who believes the token might continue dropping to $0.98 before it shoots up.
Arbitrum’s price dropped due to competition
After Arbitrum’s price started sinking in July, which continued in August, some speculated that this price action came in response to competitors from Optimism’s raising community exercise.
At the time, Optimism also surpassed Arbitrum in day-by-day transactions. However, ARB holders anticipate its partnership with Uniswap will extend its buying and selling exercise.
Opinions regarding how Arbitrum will react in the coming days tend to differ widely, with some expecting a considerable price rise. In contrast, others believe ARB will continue to crash due to competition.
Price drop came as the ARB token unlock event was announced
According to Arbitrum’s plans, the project is scheduled to release 1.11 billion ARB tokens in its unlock event, which should take place in March 2024.
The announcement was made by Token Unlocks on X. Interestingly; the newest price drop came just after the information.
