ARB and OP: Altcoin Analysis for September 19, 2023

Since our last analysis on August 31, the ARB correction has been pronounced, leading the token to a new all-time low of $0.74. As of now, ARB continues to trend downward.

The key resistance zone stands between $0.90 and $0.95. If buyers manage to surpass this range, ARB could potentially test the significant $1 mark. Establishing a position above this point would indicate a switch from a bearish to a bullish trend. But until such a change occurs, the decline in Arbitrum remains the predominant trajectory.

Immediate support is found between $0.74 and $0.78. Identifying a subsequent level is challenging given ARB has never traded this low. Taking into account traders' affinity for round numbers, we might see increased buying interest at the $0.7 level.

While the immediate trend for OP seems to be descending, its broader trajectory remains bullish. At present, the asset is navigating between a support zone of $1.28-$1.34 and faces resistance between $1.41-$1.46. 

For a positive shift, Optimism needs to solidify its position above the pivotal $1.5 mark. Achieving this could clear the path for the next potential highs, targeting the $1.57-$1.63 range, followed by a resistance at $1.68.

On the other hand, should Optimism continue its current downward trend, its price might retest the previous low around $1.21 or even approach the buyer's interest near $1.15. Given the strong correlation between OP and Bitcoin's price, a dip in Bitcoin could prompt such a scenario for Optimism.
