Arbitrum (ARB) and Optimism (OP) Are Ready to Run: Analyst

  • ARB and OP may be ready for an upward run, an analyst opined.
  • ARB was overbought but an entry around $1.10 could be perfect before another increase.
  • OP may eye $4 as upward momentum continues to rise.

According to Altcoin Sherpa, an analyst on X, the duo of Arbitrum (ARB) and Optimism (OP) are in pole position to experience exponential growth. Sherpa, in his post, opined that there could be a rotation of profit from other coins into Ethereum (ETH) and tokens linked to the blockchain which includes OP and ARB.

As a result, he told his 202,100 followers to look for entries for ARB and OP around $1.38 and $3.30 respectively.

For a while, both tokens failed to make big moves. During that time, some market players opined that the inability to grow was because of ETH’s restriction to trading between $1,800 and $2,100.

However, the last 24 hours have been incredible for OP and ARB. According to CoinMarketCap, ARB’s price was $1.33— a 7.60% jump within the said period. OP’s performance was even better, as the cryptocurrency’s price rose by 20.89%. 

Arbitrum (ARB)

At press time, a sharp sell candle has appeared on the ARB/USD 4-hour chart. This drop implies a significant profit-taking. Another reason was that ARB was overbought as indicated by the Relative Strength Index (RSI) which hit 81.62 on December 22.

Although the RSI reading had dropped to 66.94, ARB’s price may still fall. However, the support at $1.13 seems strong enough to prevent a fall below $1. Also, the Fibonacci retracement gave some insight into possible entry levels.

Should selling pressure increase and breach the $1.13 support, the 0.382 Fib retracement indicated that $1.10 might be a good point to buy ARB. So, traders should watch for this level.

Optimism (OP)

Like ARB, OP’s bullish run has been halted by a rejection. After attempting to jump past the $3.55 region, OP faced resistance which drew the price back to $3.16. However, the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) showed that there could be room for more upside.

At press time, the MACD was 0.068, and the 12-day EMA had risen above the 26-day EMA, suggesting a bullish momentum for OP. If buying pressure continues to increase, then OP may reclaim $3.55. 

Also, a rise in the $4 region may not be invalidated. Meanwhile, the Money Flow Index (MFI) indicated that OP was overbought. This was because the MFI reading initially hit 80 before dropping back to 76.68.

However, a resumption in accumulation could send the price back up. So, entries around $3.13 could be valid for traders.

DeFi CEO Says ‘No One Cares’ to Deutsche Bank Entry into BTC Custody

Deutsche Bank to offer bitcoin custody solution for institutional clients. Cake Group CEO believes the move will not substantially increase capital inflow or attract new participants. Deutsche Bank’s Paul Maley projects the digital asset sector to grow to trillions of dollars. Julian Hosp, the CEO of DeFi business Cake Group, has shared a skeptical reaction to Deutsche Bank’s newly-launched bitcoin custody services for institutional clients. Responding to a post on X (Twitter) by Bitcoin Magazine announcing the bank’s new services, Hosp wrote “Sadly, no one cares”. In full, his response read, And guess what… sadly no one cares… because everyone in Germany can already buy #bitcoin either with an ETF (that has literally ZERO volume) or on an exchange. All these banks entering the space, are not bringing in extra money or people. They are just re-routing existing… https://t.co/MMZHSbGB9U — Dr. Julian Hosp (@julianhosp) September 15, 2023 T...

MATIC Price Plunges, Have the Bulls Finally Lost Control?

Image
MATIC witnessed a decline in bullish momentum and has lost hold of the $0.74 psychological support. Buying pressure was weak as the CMF hovered around the zero line. Traders might likely short/sell MATIC in the near term since the 50 EMA crossed over the 20 EMA. Polygon (MATIC) brief dip below $0.78 has turned out to be an event that has lasted a whopping five days. Over the last 24 hours, the altcoin had lost 2.32% of its value. But its last 30 days’ performance was controlled by the bulls where MATIC increased by 6.61%. Currently, the MATIC/USD 4-Hour chart shows that the altcoin was hovering around a tight support zone at $0.71. Due to decreased demand, MATIC’s buying strength has been cut off. This indicates bearish dominance around $0.72. For MATIC to regain bullish momentum, the price must rise above the $0.74 psychological level. But if selling pressure outweighs demand, then the recovery attempt could be quenched. Furthermore, bears have ...

Miles Deutscher predicts PEPE will outperform DOGE in the next bull cycle. Deutscher noted that fewer PEPE holders are underwater compared to DOGE holders. PEPE has more multiples to reach its previous all-time high (ATH) compared to DOGE. PEPE will outperform DOGE in the next bull cycle, predicts Miles Deutscher, a renowned cryptocurrency analyst. In a Twitter post, Deutscher highlighted the reasons behind his prediction. I think $PEPE outperforms $DOGE next cycle. Why? • The Underwater Thesis: Less PEPE holders underwater vs DOGE, meaning less sell pressure on the way up + lower multiples to reach previous ATH (2.8x vs 12x). • People are more fatigued with the DOGE meme, Pepe feels fresher… — Miles Deutscher (@milesdeutscher) June 23, 2023 Deutscher’s first reason for supporting PEPE to outperform DOGE in the next cycle is what he called “The Underwater Thesis.” He noted fewer PEPE holders are “underwater” compared to DOGE holders. By that, he me...
