ARB’s state of affairs
At the time of writing, the token’s price was under a bearish influence. According to CoinMarketCap, ARB’s price plummeted by more than 7% in the last seven days. At press time, it was trading at $1.20 with a market capitalization of over $1.5 billion.
A look at the token’s on-chain revealed that, in the coming days, investors should brace for some turbulence. Whale activity around the token declined last week. Its Market Value to Realized Value (MVRV) Ratio also plummeted, which was bearish.
Additionally, Arbitrum’s one-week price volatility dropped, decreasing the chances of a sudden uptrend. However, despite the price drop, it was interesting to note that ARB’s total amount of holders went up last week.
