Arbitrum price jumps 8.8% as $0.155 test looms

Arbitrum price rose nearly 9% on Sep. 15 as a bullish Standard Chartered forecast lifted interest in ARB, while the charts showed the token testing a dense resistance and liquidation zone near $0.155.

Arbitrum price rebounds toward $0.15

Standard Chartered initiated coverage of Arbitrum with a $10 price target for the end of 2030, according to a report based on comments from digital assets research head Geoff Kendrick. The forecast helped ARB recover from the support area it had tested after an earlier September rally.

Arbitrum (ARB) price traded near $0.1454 at the time of writing, up 8.75% for the daily session. The token opened at $0.1337, fell to $0.1314, and reached an intraday high of $0.1468.

The 4-hour chart recorded a 5.9% gain during the latest candle, with the price rising from $0.1374 to $0.1454. Buyers entered after ARB spent several days consolidating between approximately $0.131 and $0.145.

The rebound followed a volatile start to September. ARB climbed from below $0.09 to approximately $0.20 before sellers pushed it back toward $0.13. The daily chart still showed the token well below that monthly peak despite its latest gain.

Standard Chartered sees tokenization supporting ARB

Kendrick described Arbitrum as a potential blockchain for traditional financial institutions moving assets on-chain. The bank expects the tokenized-assets market to expand from about $340 billion to $4 trillion by the end of 2028.

Standard Chartered reportedly sees Robinhood Chain as evidence of that opportunity. The project uses Arbitrum technology, giving the network exposure to a platform focused on tokenized financial assets.

Kendrick expects Arbitrum’s monthly revenue to reach approximately $5 million in September, more than five times its level before Robinhood Chain launched. He argued that the higher revenue base could support a new valuation for ARB.

The bank set year-end targets of $0.50 for 2026, $1.50 for 2027, $3.50 for 2028, $6.50 for 2029, and $10 for 2030. Each level remains a Standard Chartered projection rather than a guaranteed price path.

A move from $0.1454 to $10 would require a gain of about 6,780%. ARB would also need to recover above several previous support and resistance areas left by its longer-term decline.

ARB faces resistance near $0.155

The 4-hour Bollinger Bands showed ARB reaching the upper band near $0.1454. Price also moved above the indicator’s middle line at $0.1382, while the lower band stood near $0.1310.

Closing above the middle band shifted the immediate structure in favor of buyers. However, trading against the upper band can leave the token open to a short-term pullback if demand does not continue.

Chaikin Money Flow rose to 0.19 on the 4-hour chart. The positive reading showed that buying pressure had strengthened during the rebound, supporting the move above $0.14.

The daily indicators offered a more cautious signal. ARB’s relative strength index stood at 58.82, above the neutral level of 50 but below the overbought threshold of 70. Its RSI average remained higher at 67.11, reflecting the loss of momentum after the early-September spike.

The daily MACD line stood at 0.0125, below the signal line at 0.0150. Its histogram had slipped to minus 0.0025, meaning the broader bullish impulse had not fully recovered despite the strong daily candle.

A close above $0.147 would expose the $0.150 psychological level. The one-week CoinGlass heatmap showed the strongest nearby liquidation concentration around $0.154–$0.156, making that area the next major test.

Further liquidity appeared between $0.158 and $0.160, followed by separate clusters near $0.166 and $0.170. A breakout through those zones could open a path toward the September peak between $0.19 and $0.20.

On the downside, $0.138 is the first short-term level to watch because it matches the 4-hour Bollinger midline. A loss of that level could return ARB to the $0.131–$0.133 support range, where the lower Bollinger Band and recent lows converge.

Analysts target $0.185 if support holds

Crypto analyst Michaël van de Poppe said ARB appeared to be holding its first support level and beginning to turn higher. He said the setup could lead to a sharp move toward $0.185 if the token breaks out.

The $0.185 target sits close to the upper part of ARB’s early-September trading range. Reaching it would require a gain of roughly 27% from $0.1454 and a break above the liquidation clusters near $0.155 and $0.170.

Altcoin Sherpa also identified the current area as support, attributing ARB’s recent strength partly to Robinhood-related activity. However, the analyst said the size of any continuation remained uncertain.

Both views depend on ARB holding its recent base. A daily close below $0.131 would weaken the recovery setup and place the breakout targets at risk.

Robinhood gives the rally a US market angle

Robinhood provides the clearest US connection to Standard Chartered’s thesis. CEO Vlad Tenev has described the company’s chain as being built for real-world assets, linking Arbitrum’s technology to a US brokerage seeking a larger role in tokenized finance.

The long-term effect on ARB will depend on network use, revenue generation, and the value captured by token holders. Standard Chartered’s forecast assumes that tokenization expands rapidly and that Arbitrum becomes a preferred infrastructure provider for financial firms.

For the immediate move, traders face a closer test at $0.154–$0.156. Holding above $0.138 keeps the short-term rebound intact, while a confirmed break through $0.156 would strengthen the case for an advance toward $0.17 and the analysts’ $0.185 target.
