Top Layer 2 Networks Price Prediction: Mantle, Arbitrum, Optimism

  • Mantle is likely to test $0.84 if it rises above $0.68.
  • ARB could move upwards to $0.171 if it flips $0.126 and the 20-day EMA.
  • OP may retest its all-time low at $0.16.

Layer 2 Networks have been in the limelight over the past week following a tweak in Ethereum's rollup-centric roadmap and criticisms from Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin.

The conversation, which sparked a back-and-forth between a few L2 founders and community members, saw a few Layer 2 tokens establishing new lows amid the wider crypto market decline.

Mantle eyes rise above $0.68

Mantle (MNT) is consolidating and attempting to reclaim $0.68 after bouncing off $0.51 last Friday. The Layer-2 token could test $0.84 if it rises above $0.68. However, it faces potential resistance at the 20-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA), which has proven a major hurdle since last December.

MNT/USDT daily chart

On the downside, MNT could find support at $0.51 if it sees a rejection near $0.68.

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) and Stochastic Oscillator (Stoch) indicators on the daily chart are slightly above their oversold regions, indicating a modest decline in bearish momentum.

MNT is trading at $0.64 on Tuesday, down 0.1% over the past 24 hours at the time of publication.

Arbitrum could see a new low if it breaches $0.096

Arbitrum (ARB) is declining at the time of writing on Tuesday, approaching Friday's low of $0.096, its all-time low. The move comes after seeing a rejection at the $0.126 resistance over the weekend.

ARB could rise to $0.171 if it flips $0.126 and the 20-day EMA. On the downside, a breach of $0.096 could push the token to a new low of $0.063.

ARB/USDT daily chart

The RSI and Stoch indicators on the daily chart are in oversold territory, indicating a dominant bearish momentum.

ARB is changing hands at $0.11, down nearly 5% over the past 24 hours as of writing.

OP eyes downside after rejection at $0.20

Optimism (OP) is consolidating after seeing a rejection at $0.20 over the weekend. The token is tilted toward the downside and could retest its all-time low at $0.16.

On the upside, OP could rise to test $0.24, just below the 20-day EMA, if it reclaims $0.20.

OP/USDT daily chart

The RSI and Stoch indicators on the daily chart are in oversold conditions, indicating a continued dominance in bearish momentum.

OP is trading around $0.18, down 3% over the past 24 hours at the time of publication.
