Crypto price prediction: Arbitrum (ARB), EOS, VeChain

Cryptocurrency prices had a strong performance this week as Bitcoin jumped above $30,000 and Ethereum soared to over $2,000. This rally coincided with the ongoing dollar sell-off, the latest American consumer inflation data, Shapellla upgrade, and dovish Federal Reserve minutes. In this crypto price prediction, we will look at Arbitrum (ARB), Taboo Token, and EOS.

Arbitrum (ARB) price prediction

Arbitrum is one of the newest crypto tokens since it was airdropped in March. In the first days of the airdrop, ARB token dropped as some insiders exited their positions and as concerns about its tokenomics remained.

Arbitrum has now rebounded to an all-time high as investors cheer the growth of its ecosystem. It also jumped as activity in its key dApps increase and as other cryptocurrencies jumped. On the hourly chart, the token jumped above the important resistance level at $1.44, the highest level on March 31. 

ARB price remains above the 25-period and 50-period moving averages. It has also formed what looks like a bullish flag pattern. Therefore, I suspect that the token will continue rising in the near term as buyers target the key resistance at $2. This view will be confirmed if the token jumps above this week’s high of $1.59.

EOS price prediction

EOS price had a strong performance this week as traders watched the upcoming rollout of its Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM). The developers launched the mainnet beta of this version on Friday. EOS jumped to a high of $1.2967 on Friday and then pulled back. As it rose, EOS managed to move abve the key resistance at $1.2532, the highest point on April 11.

EOS has now pulled back as it intends to retest the support at $1.2532. This performance is known as a break and retest pattern and is usually a sign of a bullish continuation. Therefore, there is a likelihood that the coin will resume the bullish trend as buyers target the key resistance at $1.30.

VeChain price prediction

The VET price made a bullish breakout this week. As shown in the chart below, the coin has been forming a symmetrical triangle pattern that is shown in blue. In price action analysis, that pattern can lead to a breakout in either direction. In this case, it made a bullish breakout and moved to the highest point since March 3. 

Therefore, VeChain will likely continue rising considering that volume is also rising. If this happens, the next key level to watch will be at $0.30, which is 16% above the current level.

Altcoins thrive amid Ethereum’s breakout to $2,100

  • Altcoins are soaring, with the prices of Arbitrum, Aptos, Loopring , Optimism and Rocket Pool seeing double digit gains.
  • Ethereum price broke above $2,100 and ARB, RPL and OP prices are among the biggest gainers in the top 100 cryptocurrencies by market cap today.
  • Analysts says altcoins have been buoyed by ETH breakout after Shanghai, even as Bitcoin dominance fell.

Altcoins are thriving, but have a small window to see some joy amid the latest spike for Ethereum price, a top analyst has said.

Crypto market intelligence platform Santiment highlighted the move among altcoins as coming amid a pivot of profits from Bitcoin to smaller cap cryptocurrencies. The sentiment flip around alts also happens at a time Ethereum dominates the social discussion volume following its breakout above $2k.

ARB, RPL and OP prices soar as profits pivot to altcoins amid ETH breakout

On Friday, as ETH broke above $2,100 for the first time since May 2022, several altcoins followed suit, with Aptos (APT), Arbitrum (ARB), Rocket Pool (RPL), Optimism (OP) and Loopring (LRC) registering mega moves.

Arbitrum has spiked more than 18% in the past 24 hours to hit highs of $1.57, while Aptos price was also up double digits as bulls pushed for $14. 

Meanwhile, Loopring traded to highs of $0.45 with +11% and Rocket Pool traded to near $52 with 18% in 24 hours. Optimism price rose to $2.64 with another +10% gain.

According to on-chain data, the altcoin market is starting thrive after Bitcoin (BTC) dominance over the past few weeks.

While BTC extended its gains above $30k – hitting highs of $30,800 on Friday – the major move was seen in Ether after the super successful Shanghai upgrade

ETH/USD first broke above $2,000 and then followed that up with a decent punch above $2,100 (buying pressure pushed Ethereum price to highs of $2,130 on crypto exchange Bitstamp.

Analyst Captain Faibik says the Bitcoin Dominace as measured by the market cap parabolic curve formation is showing a sell point. BTC dominance has shrunk to 44%, while that of Ethereum has risen to 19%. As the price of BTC rises and BTC.D falls, it suggests alts have a massively bullish opportunity and may begin to rally.

Altcoin rally? Analysts warn traders

While top crypto analysts are pointing to Ethereum as “a leading indicator for altcoins,”(we highlighted Rekt Capital’s view here), some have said the “window” might not be that big and a pullback is likely. 

Scott Melker, author of The Wolf Den Newsletter, says altcoin traders should “enjoy it while it lasts.” 

Michael van de Poppe expects Bitcoin to rally to $40k and Ethereum to $2,800-$3,000 range. Alts should be seeing some momentum too – but the window will likely be small, he noted.

Solana’s crypto-first ‘Saga’ android phone is now only weeks away

  • Saga will be available for customers to purchase from May 8th.
  • The android smartphone serves as a crypto hardware wallet.
  • Saga comes with a custom store for crypto-specific apps.

On Thursday, Solana Labs said “Saga” – its crypto-first smartphone will be available for customers to purchase from May 8th.

Saga also serves as a hardware wallet

This device equipped with the latest Android operating system features a “seed vault” that turns it into a crypto hardware wallet.

Saga was originally unveiled in June of 2022 as a bet on how pivotal a cellphone is to the future of crypto. For $1,000, the smartphone offers 512 GB of storage, a 6.67-inch OLED display, a dual-camera setup, and 12 GB of RAM.

Solana differentiates its handset with the “Solana Mobile Stack” that has embedded security features for crypto transactions and trading.

Saga comes with a custom ‘dapp’ store

A dedicated “dapp” store on the Saga currently has more than a dozen crypto-specific applications and that number is expected to increase over time.

Unlike Apple or Google, Solana also doesn’t plan on charging “extractive fees” on the apps listed on its custom store. For regular apps, users will turn to Google Play as they would on any other android smartphone, the company confirmed.

Shipping has already started for customers who pre-ordered Saga, which aims to integrate the Web3 experience into a cellphone. Remember that the likes of Sirin Labs and even HTC have previously failed to launch a crypto-focused smartphone.
