Arbitrum (ARB) Price Analysis 

Since its market release, the price of ARB created a descending triangle, which led the price to a low of $0.76 on October 19, 2023. A new uptrend started then, with ARB reaching an all-time high of $2.41 on January 11. After that, there was a 33% downturn to $1.60 on January 23, followed by sideways movement that formed a symmetrical triangle.  

There are two possibilities ahead. Either the larger five-wave uptrend ended at its January high, with the following triangle being its first major correction. If this happens, another downtrend could take place. The likely target would be at the 0.618 Fibonacci level between $1.40 and $1.20. 

On the other hand, the higher degree five-wave impulse could have one more upward push to the upside, with the symmetrical triangle being its corrective wave four. ARB could, in that case, reach a new all-time high above $2.60. 

The first hint at a likely scenario would be the breakout direction from the symmetrical triangle.
