Arbitrum price is on the move, ranking as the second-biggest gainer in the market today. The price is up more than 16%, trading at $0.5437, while trading volume has jumped an impressive 128%. 

The rally comes as bullish news hits the ecosystem, with Offchain Labs, the team behind Arbitrum, announcing a major acquisition.

A big driver is the ZeroDev acquisition, a smart account infrastructure provider powering over 5 million wallets. 

The integration promises to eliminate seed phrases, enable gasless transactions, and make cross-chain interactions smoother, changes that could make Arbitrum far more appealing to mainstream users in DeFi and gaming. 

With ZeroDev already partnered with ApeChain and Crossmint, developer interest is expected to climb quickly.

In addition, Ethereum’s broader strength is also helping. Standard Chartered has raised its 2025 ETH price target to $7.5K, citing institutional inflows and Layer 2 scaling plans. 

Vitalik Buterin’s roadmap points to Ethereum settling high-value transactions on L1 while smaller transactions shift to L2s like Arbitrum, a narrative that directly benefits ARB. 

The only short-term caution is that ETH’s own 8% jump today could momentarily pull some capital away from ARB.

On the daily chart, ARB price has burst higher through a strong horizontal resistance zone around $0.50 in a strong, impulsive rally. 

The breakaway follows a steady climb since late July, when a series of higher lows showed mounting bullish pressure. Momentum has accelerated sharply in the last 24 hours, producing the largest daily candle in weeks.

The MACD on the daily is in positive territory, with the MACD line crossing above the signal line, a classic bullish signal. Volume has expanded alongside price, confirming that the move is backed by strong market participation.

Moreso, on the 4H chart, ARB price blasted past the $0.48–$0.50 supply area and didn’t look back, running into the mid-$0.54 zone. The 50 EMA sits far below at $0.45, showing how extended the move is in the short term. 

Its RSI is hovering at about 79, which is deep in overbought territory, so a cooling off or retest phase might be imminent before the next leg up.

Immediate resistance is at the $0.55–$0.56 zone. If ARB price clears this, it opens up space toward the $0.60 psychological level. Support now sits at $0.50, with $0.48 as the next major defense level below that.

With a bullish news catalyst, a clean technical breakout, and strong volume, the Arbitrum price is in a favorable short-term position. 

If ZeroDev’s integration brings in more developers and Ethereum’s Layer 2 momentum keeps growing, this breakout could be the start of a much bigger move. That said, with short-term indicators looking overheated, traders should be ready for a pullback before the next push up.
