Arbitrum Surges 5% on Robinhood Listing – But Here’s What Could Derail ARB’s Rally

Arbitrum (ARB) just got a turbo boost—jumping 5% after Robinhood announced support for the Ethereum Layer 2 token. Retail traders are piling in, but seasoned crypto vets know: every breakout has its traps.

Liquidity crunch incoming?

While the Robinhood bump is real, ARB’s rally hinges on more than just hype. Thin order books and whale movements could turn this 5% gain into a flash crash faster than a degen leverages a shitcoin.

Watch the on-chain data—not the headlines.

And let’s be honest: since when do Robinhood traders move markets sustainably? (Answer: never.) The real test comes when the next Bitcoin ETF tweet drops and capital rotates out of alts—again.

Why is ARB surging?

AMBCrypto had earlier reported that Robinhood would launch tokenized stocks, ETFs, and equities for EU users using Arbitrum’s LAYER 2, alongside future plans to build a custom Orbit-based chain.

Naturally, the market interpreted this as a massive ecosystem endorsement—bullish for ARB.

At press time, Arbitrum traded around $0.342, notching a 4.88% gain in the past 24 hours, per CoinMarketCap.

While it led daily altcoin gainers, trading volume dropped nearly 30%, hinting at light participation behind the move.

Experts’ bold prediction

Despite lower participation from crypto investors, experts and analysts have shown strong interest in the token and appear to be making bold predictions.

One expert emphasized that ARB is unlikely to miss its current level again, highlighting the asset’s strong upside potential. Meanwhile, another expert made a bold prediction, stating,

“ARB is currently trading at $0.32 and showing strong momentum toward the $1 mark.”

These are not the only posts that have surfaced on X; there are several other optimistic posts suggesting strong expert interest in the token and its upside potential.

Price action and key technical analysis 

According to AMBCrypto’s technical analysis, the ARB coin has been hovering within a descending channel pattern between the upper and lower boundaries since May 2025.

With the recent price jump, the altcoin appeared to be heading toward the upper boundary of the channel.

If this rally holds, ARB could stretch another 7% to retest the channel top NEAR $0.37.

Furthermore, if this momentum continues and ARB breaks out of the channel, there is a strong possibility the altcoin could see a price surge of up to 34% in the near future.

At press time, ARB was trading above the 50-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) on a daily time frame, indicating a potential shift in trend and growing bullish momentum in the short term.

$2.20 million ARB leave exchange

Supporting this structure is the accumulation data from CoinGlass.

In the last 48 hours, ARB saw $2.2 million in Exchange Outflows, including a $2.57 million daily net outflows on the 1st of July.

This shift typically signals investor confidence—whales moving coins off exchanges for cold storage or long-term holds.
