A look at the technical indicators on the 4-hour chart suggested a bullish bias as of this writing. The CMF (Chaikin Money Flow) has passed sharply above zero, indicating increased capital inflows.
Similarly, the RSI (Relative Strength Index) reached the overbought zone, indicating that buying pressure was increasing at the time of writing.
With bullish BTC firmly above USD 30k, ARB might try to clear the supply area and clear the hurdle near USD 1.25. A session close to $1.25 can allow for a $1.30 and $1.36 recovery.
Alternatively, a price rejection in the supply area at $1.25 could lead ARB to retest the immediate short-term support at $1.145. So a retest of the break at the $1.25 stock or rebound from $1,145 support could signal buy signals.
A drop below $1.145 will weaken the structure, causing the ARB to drop below a recent higher low and H4 to turn bearish.

That is a bullish signal, but traders should follow worrying buying volumes and BTC price action before taking any action.
