Arbitrum Rallies Above 20-day EMA
Arbitrum’s double-digit price surge in the last week has caused it to form an ascending channel. An ascending channel is a bullish signal formed when an asset’s price moves between two upward-sloping parallel lines. The upper line of the channel acts as resistance, while the lower line serves as support.
ARB has been trending within this channel since July 4, and its value has grown by 17%. During Monday’s trading session, the token successfully closed above its 20-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) for the first time since June 5.

When its price climbs above this level, it indicates a shift towards a bullish trend. It suggests that the short-term price momentum is turning positive, with recent prices trading higher than the average price over the past 20 days.
Further, an asset’s price crossing above its 20-day EMA offers confirmation of an uptrend. It indicates that the asset’s price is rising, and the uptrend may continue in the short term.
ARB’s surging Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) lends credence to the above position. As of this writing, the token’s CMF value was above zero at 0.01.
