Key highlights:
- The ARB price is trading near $0.114 after a strong 24-hour move tied to Robinhood Chain activity
- ARB faces key resistance at $0.1495, with $0.1729 and $0.20 as the next upside levels
- CoinCodex's 1-month forecast places ARB at $0.08363, below its current price near $0.11
Arbitrum is starting September on a stronger note after buyers pushed the token higher from the $0.09 region. The ARB price is trading around $0.114, with the daily candle up 4.11%, following a much larger 24-hour gain of 24.54% earlier in the move. That performance stands out even more because the broader crypto market has remained relatively flat.
A major reason behind the move is Robinhood Chain's use of Arbitrum Orbit. The chain generated more than $1 million in fees over a 24-hour period, with 10% of that revenue going back to the Arbitrum ecosystem. For the ARB price, that gives the rally a fundamental catalyst alongside the recent technical breakout.
Robinhood chain is driving new activity
Robinhood Chain's decision to use Arbitrum Orbit has brought fresh attention to the network's underlying activity. Generating more than $1 million in fees in just 24 hours is a measurable sign that Arbitrum's technology is being used at scale.
The revenue-sharing model makes this even more relevant for the ecosystem. Ten percent of Robinhood Chain's fees flows back to Arbitrum, creating a direct connection between activity on the chain and value returning to the wider ecosystem.
Derivatives activity has also picked up. Open interest increased 62% to $157 million, according to the data provided, as traders took larger positions during the rally. Trading volume jumped 695%, giving the move much stronger participation than the market had seen before.
That extra activity can help push the ARB price higher, but it also increases volatility. If leveraged traders start closing positions, the same market activity that helped drive the rally could accelerate a decline.
The ARB price still has a bigger trend to fight
We had a look at the ARB chart and found the token trading around $0.114 after gaining 4.11% on the daily candle. The short-term picture is looking better, but the bigger trend is still bearish. ARB used to trade near $0.20, so it's still about 43% below that level.
$ARB is getting close to the end of a long consolidation.
Price is trading inside a clear symmetrical triangle, with resistance around $0.1495 and $0.1729.
If ARB breaks above the triangle, the next move could target $0.1495 first, followed by $0.1729.

The first major resistance is $0.1495. Master of Crypto pointed to this level as the upper boundary of a symmetrical triangle that has contained ARB during an extended consolidation period. The next major resistance is $0.1729, followed by the $0.20 area.
If ARB breaks cleanly above $0.1495, bulls could start targeting $0.1729. Take that out, and $0.20 could come back into play. But none of that works if the price loses the $0.091–$0.092 support zone. That's the floor. As long as it holds, the bullish setup stays intact.
As long as buyers defend this area, the next major target is around $0.14-$0.15. A daily close below $0.091 would weaken the recent breakout and put $0.08 at risk, followed by the $0.07-$0.08 base.
Where could the ARB price go next?
For now, the ARB price has a clear set of levels to watch. A break above $0.1495 could open the way toward $0.1729 and eventually $0.20. From $0.114, that would represent a sizable recovery and would give bulls a chance to challenge the previous peak.
The bearish case becomes stronger if ARB loses $0.091-$0.092. In that scenario, $0.08 and $0.07 become the key downside levels. CoinCodex's 1-month ARB price prediction puts the price around $0.08363, which is below the current price near $0.11.
