• Arbitrum price hovered near $0.10 as cryptocurrencies saw fresh declines.
• The token was down nearly 20% in the past week and 45% over the past month.
• Robinhood Chain has launched its public testnet on Arbitrum.

Arbitrum (ARB) traded around $0.10 at the time of writing on Wednesday, with bulls looking to break above $0.11 following an intraday dip amid broader market weakness.

Ethereum and XRP prices were all down on the day as Bitcoin dropped under $65k again.

The slight dip for ARB as of early US trading hours came as the latest network developments saw Robinhood announce the public testnet launch of its real-world asset platform on Arbitrum.

Arbitrum price hovers near $0.10

The ARB token traded at highs of $0.22 on January 14, 2026. However, as bearish sentiment that has carried from Q4, 2025 decimated crypto bulls, ARB steadily fell and hit lows of $0.099 on Feb 5.

Despite a bounce to $0.12, prices are back near this critical level.

On Wednesday, broader weakness remained a key factor across crypto.

However, Arbitrum shared news that the Robinhood Chain was now live in public testnet, and developers can tap into its infrastructure to support tokenized real-world and digital assets.

From a network growth viewpoint, this is hugely positive news for Arbitrum.

But can bulls ride it as a fresh catalyst for a rebound? The altcoin is down more than 20% in the past week and by over 45% in the past month.

Arbitrum price forecast

As noted, the ARB token has experienced a sharp decline since peaking at highs of $0.62 in August 2025.

The October 10 crash saw it plummet to lows of $0.10.

Prices briefly steadied to $0.36, but the overall downtrend resumed and ARB broke to $0.094 amid the February 5, 2026, crypto market route.

That crash below the critical support level of $0.10 accelerated the weakness, and an extended downtrend of five months saw the token hit its all-time low.

ARB price is up 13% from that low, but in terms of technical analysis, the daily chart shows ARB continues to trend with an entrenched bearish structure.

For instance, the current price is below the 20-day EMA, which offers upside resistance around $0.13.

Meanwhile, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) hovers in oversold territory at 24, signaling potential exhaustion.

However, there’s no immediate reversal formation yet, and the Supertrend indicator is flashing bearish signals.

The price trajectory points lower, and short-term bearish continuation could see ARB dip to a new all-time low under $0.09.

On the flipside, if oversold conditions trigger a bounce, the further strength above $0.13-$0.15 highlights the next targets at $0.22 and $0.35.

• XRP price dropped to $1.35 as selling pressure resumed.
• Bears have pushed Bitcoin back under $68k and altcoins are mirroring the decline.
• Short-term, bearish sentiment could trigger a sell-off to $1 or lower.

XRP continues to face bearish pressure as the latest attempts to establish an upside momentum stall, with prices down 14% in the past week.

In early trading on Wednesday, the Ripple cryptocurrency fell to lows of $1.35, extending its pullback from recent highs following a retest of $1.53.

The waning upside momentum suggests a potential further downside for the altcoin, whose performance mirrors the renewed selling pressure currently throttling Bitcoin and Ethereum bulls.

As of writing, market metrics showed derivatives data largely bearish, with retail traders signalling their downbeat perspective through dwindling XRP futures Open Interest.

Massive liquidations, most of which have been lopsided against longs, add to the retail indecision.

XRP price technical outlook

XRP’s struggles align with a cautious crypto environment. Bitcoin’s failure to hold above $70k means widespread selling that hasn’t spared top altcoins like XRP.

Technical indicators for XRP price, such as fading RSI, highlight potential weakness. If buyers fail to reclaim $1.50 and target $2.00, XRP risks testing key support levels near $1.22 and $1.13.

Conversely, breaking $2 might flip sentiment and allow bulls to target the $2.75 resistance level. The falling wedge pattern on the 4-hour chart signals such a breakout.

XRP price: likely bullish catalysts?

US XRP ETF demand has faded in recent weeks, while technical indicators highlight bears’ control.

Despite the gloom, several catalysts could spark a reversal for XRP holders.

Regulatory developments, particularly ongoing efforts to pass the Clarity Act, could be a key driver of crypto market sentiment.

A spike in adoption amid further regulatory clarity will cascade to XRP.

Whale accumulation also continues to ramp up as large holders add to positions.

This shows conviction and has the short-term effect of stabilizing prices ahead of what analysts see as an inevitable broader market recovery.

Stablecoin growth on the XRP Ledger adds another layer of utility, drawing institutional interest and increasing network activity.

DeFiLlama data shows that while DeFi TVL has declined, stablecoin market cap has jumped from around $331 million in early February to over $418 million as of writing.

Amid usage for XRPL, Ripple USD is also gaining traction.

Ripple has entered various partnerships aimed at tokenising traditional fund structures on the XRP Ledger, one of the moves set to accelerate growth.

Meanwhile, spot exchange-traded fund inflows have cooled in recent weeks. However, cumulative net inflows have topped $1.2 billion, and could explode when sentiment flips.

• Ethereum whales continue to aggressively accumulate ETH amid falling prices.
• The dip below $2,000 offers an attractive entry point for bulls.
• Ethereum price touched intraday lows of $1,930 on Wednesday, February 11, 2026.

Ethereum has dipped below the $2,000 level again, with a 3% decline in the past 24 hours pushing the top altcoin to lows of $1,930 in early trading on February 11, 2026.

The decline mirrored Bitcoin’s retreat below $67,000, with the bellwether digital asset down 3% over the same period, trading around $66,805.

But despite the strong bearish sentiment across the cryptocurrency market, whales appear unfazed and are using the dip to aggressively add to their positions.

Ethereum whales buy the dip near $2k

On-chain data shows Ethereum has attracted aggressive whale accumulation for several months, despite a sharp decline in the altcoin’s price.

According to details shared by CryptoQuant on X, large holders began ramping up their positions in July 2025.

This trend has continued even as the ETH price plunged from its peak amid a bearish flip in the last quarter of the year, with inflows into accumulation addresses hitting record highs amid sustained buying.

Notably, analysts say the loading up has continued after the ETH price fell below the realized value of accumulation addresses.

This scenario also played out in April 2025, when the Ethereum price plunged to lows of $1,470 amid a broader market correction.

However, bulls quickly recovered as whales bought the dip, and the altcoin’s price went on to touch its all-time high near $5,000 in August 2025.

Recent data shows exchange balances have fallen to multi-year lows, with whales adding to their holdings as retail sells amid broader market panic.

This pattern persists as prices falter in early 2026.

With whales’ buying power intact, current levels are attractive, which has seen entities like Bitmine Immersion Technologies fully take advantage.

The company recently added over 40,600 ETH and currently holds over 4.3 million Ether tokens acquired at an average price of $2,125.

Of this, it has staked over 2.97 million ETH, which accounts for more than 68% of its holdings.

5 hours ago, #Bitmine staked another 140,400 $ETH($282M).

In total, #Bitmine has staked 2.97M $ETH($6.01B), 68.7% of its total holdings.https://t.co/yCucFPLdGs pic.twitter.com/R13lzSIQmE

Ethereum price prediction

The crypto fear and greed index hovers in extreme fear territory, which means a short-term bearish outlook.

Ethereum has tapped this sentiment as bulls struggle near $2,000, with the altcoin’s current dollar value more than 60% down since touching the all-time high near $5,000.

On the technical front, prices are below key exponential moving averages (EMAs), and oscillators favour bears.

Ethereum charts formed a death cross in November.

This strengthened on February 5, 2026, when Bitcoin nosedived to $60k, and ETH plummeted past support at $2k to hit new lows near $1,740.

Despite a rebound to above $2k, downward pressure remains, and a pullback to that year-to-date low is possible.

If bears take further control, ETH could target $1,500-$1,300 next.

However, aggressive buying even as ETH falls below realized prices of accumulation addresses indicates a long-term conviction.

Analysts forecast a significant rebound, with institutional demand and network growth driving the next leg up.

On-chain metrics, including ETF inflows, will be key.

Notably, outflows have shrunk since the $1.4 billion in monthly flows exited Ethereum spot ETFs in November 2025, and the current total net assets sit at over $11.7 billion.

Recently, Bitmine’s Tom Lee said he expects a V-shaped recovery for ETH.

• Ethereum Classic price hovered around 8.30 as Ethereum held the $2,000 level.
• The ETC coin has dropped more than 12% in the past week and could extend the decline.
• Analysts say Bitcoin remains bearish, and this could impact ETC price movement.

Ethereum Classic (ETC) traded in the red in early afternoon hours during the US session on Tuesday, February 10, 2026, down nearly 3% as top coins continued to struggle with bearish pressure.

With the price of Ethereum delicately poised near $2,000 and Bitcoin dropping to lows of $68,000, analysts at CryptoQuant say downside momentum could intensify.

Ethereum Classic, a proof-of-work cryptocurrency created after an Ethereum hardfork, changed hands around $8.30.

The technical picture suggests it could mirror potential broader market losses and touch new multi-year lows.

Ethereum Classic price today

The broad sell-off that hit altcoins on February 5, 2026, pushed Ethereum Classic down sharply to around $7.40.

Panic selling, driven by investors seeking to lock in profits amid heavy liquidations, deepened losses.

Many buyers who entered near the July 2025 highs of about $25 saw their positions turn into unrealised losses, most of which remain underwater at current levels.

Sentiment showed tentative improvement on February 10, when ETC climbed to intraday highs of $8.69.

The move was supported by a 5% rise in daily trading volume to around $64 million, pointing to the possibility of a short-term shift in momentum.

The rebound came as Ethereum posted modest declines but continued to hold above the $2,000 level on increasing volume.

CryptoQuant analysts on bear market

Analysts at CryptoQuant say the bear market is likely in its early stages and fresh losses for BTC and alts are possible.

According to an on-chain analyst at the firm, Bitcoin currently suffers from a lack of new capital injection, and that strengthens the prevailing bear conditions.

“New investor inflows have flipped negative. The sell-off is not being absorbed by fresh capital. In bull markets, drawdowns attract accelerating capital. In early bear markets, weakness triggers withdrawal,” the platform shared on X.

If downside pressure for Bitcoin cascades further into altcoins, ETH may retest recent lows below $1,800. ETC likewise could drop below the key support zone, with a sharper downturn.

ETC price forecast

Bulls need to defend the $8 level or engineer a quick rebound from support if selling pressure intensifies again, a move that could help limit further downside.

If this scenario unfolds, Ethereum Classic may begin to signal a potential trend reversal.

On the daily chart, the relative strength index has stabilised in oversold territory, pointing to the possibility of an upward shift in momentum.

Analysts note that signs of seller exhaustion and the emergence of a bullish divergence could increase the likelihood of a stronger recovery move.

The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator is pointing to a potential bullish crossover, while improving on-chain accumulation metrics have added to tentative optimism.

However, the near-term technical outlook remains mixed and continues to lean toward downside risks, given persistent weakness across the broader market.

As noted by CryptoQuant, this pressure has remained in place as Bitcoin trades below $70,000 and Ethereum faces resistance near $2,000.

Against this backdrop, Ethereum Classic’s price action around the $8 level, closely linked to movements in ETH, is likely to determine its next major move.

On the downside, analysts point to primary support near $6.33 as a key level to watch.

• Aave price could plummet under $100 and risk new multi-year lows.
• Bears can decisively take out the psychological level and test the $75-$80 range.
• However, dips can offer a buy-the-dip opportunity before a sharp rebound.

Aave fell to around $108 as decentralised finance tokens broadly moved into negative territory.

With broader market pressures weighing on sentiment, AAVE faces rising downside risks and is at risk of slipping below the key $100 support level.

The outlook reflects continued volatility across the sector, with a notable decline in total value locked, highlighting growing vulnerability to further price weakness.

Aave price retests $108

Aave’s AAVE token was trading near $370 in August 2025 but has since declined sharply amid persistent bearish sentiment across the crypto market.

Prices fell steadily through late 2025 before sliding more aggressively toward the $100 zone.

A double-top pattern formed in the latter months of last year, and the subsequent drop to around $95 last week marked a significant downturn for the DeFi token.

Although AAVE rebounded briefly to about $120, selling pressure has remained strong, with prices retesting the $108 support level.

The token is down roughly 15% over the past week and about 25% year-to-date.

It has also fallen around 67% since August 2025 and more than 80% from its all-time high above $667 in 2021.

The price weakness has coincided with a sharp decline in Aave’s total value locked, reflecting reduced liquidity and softer protocol revenues.

AAVE price forecast: bears eye 2-year lows

Bulls are not completely out of the picture despite the recent bloodbath.

However, sentiment is battered, and momentum is with bears.

For Aave, technical indicators signal this increasing bearish momentum.

While momentum oscillators remain in neutral territory and point to the possibility of a short-term bullish shift, moving averages continue to signal strong selling pressure for Aave.

A slide toward the psychologically important $100 level, after the token fails to hold above the $112 support zone, will reinforce this bearish outlook.

As reflected on the daily chart, a breakdown similar to the pattern that has defined AAVE’s price action since late 2025 could accelerate seller dominance and deepen near-term downside risks.

The current downturn could push the price toward the $75–$80 demand zone in the near term, an area that aligns with a key Fibonacci retracement level.

A move into this range would place Aave back at levels last seen in early 2024.

On the upside, renewed momentum would likely require a sustained weekly close above $140.

Such a move would depend on rising trading volumes, with $120 acting as initial support and $144 as a secondary resistance level before higher targets come into view.

Meanwhile, the daily Relative Strength Index is hovering near neutral territory around 34, giving sellers some room to maintain pressure.

Analysts note this setup could increase the risk of a short-term false breakout before a clearer directional move emerges.
