ARM Stock Remains Trapped in Broad Sideways Trend—But a Breakout May Be Near

ARM stock surges toward $170—but will volatility derail the rally?

The stock continues to trade within a wide sideways range, bounded by support at the $80 mark on the downside and resistance at its all-time high of $188.75, set in July 2024, on the upside. A bearish double top near $183 in October 2025 previously triggered a sharp correction, which only ended after a rounded bottom formation and a breakout above resistance at $127.03, followed by a highly dynamic rally. In recent days, the first upside target at $150 was surpassed, and the more distant price objective from the last analysis—$170—is now nearly within reach.

After the large upward gap on March 25 closed and a pullback to the intermediate high at $134.25, bulls staged a strong counteroffensive in yesterday's trading, a move that continues today.

Ideal Scenario: Direct Assault on the Double Top

The momentum from the rounded recovery and the steep buying surge since mid-March remains intact, potentially propelling ARM shares above $166.69 toward $177 and beyond, targeting the key resistance at $183.16. This dual barrier will likely prove difficult to overcome on the first attempt.

However, if the stock manages to clear this hurdle after a brief consolidation phase, it could go on to surpass its all-time high, reaching levels around $202 to $207.

Given the extreme volatility of recent days, another sharp decline remains possible if the stock falls below support at $144.25. This could trigger a second sell-off toward $139 and $134.25, where buyers may re-emerge.

Technical Outlook: Yesterday's momentum has carried into today's session, potentially setting the stage for ARM to break above the intermediate high at $166.69 and climb toward $177 and $183. A larger correction would then be likely at those levels.

The uptrend remains valid as long as the stock holds above $124.50, with the potential to extend as high as $207.
