Leading Chainlink crypto oracle rival BAND Protocol has revealed a mega integration with Arc – is BAND price set for a comeback in November?
Band’s data feeds are now live on Circle’s Arc testnet, giving developers an early way to tap on-chain price data as BAND shows a small lift on the charts.
Band Protocol said on Monday that it has connected its price oracles to Arc’s public testnet. The first feed provides USDC/USD data for teams building stablecoin-focused finance tools.
The rollout went live on November 10 and is described as an initial step before adding support for more assets as Arc moves toward mainnet.
Band Protocol states that the integration is designed to enable projects to obtain reliable pricing with low latency, this means developers can integrate the reference contract into their apps today, with wider coverage expected over time.
Why Is Arc Attracting Banks, Asset Managers, and Payment Firms?
As of November 10, BAND changed hands near $0.487, up about +2.6% over the past day. Trading stayed within a tight $0.474–$0.499 range.
Arc is Circle’s new open Layer-1 network built for stablecoin settlement and tokenized markets. Its public testnet went live on October 28, with more than 100 early participants, including banks, asset managers, and payment firms.
According to Circle’s press release, Arc is designed to make dollar-based transactions easy to price and settle. The network aims for sub-second finality, optional privacy, and direct links to Circle’s broader product stack.
Band Protocol is now feeding verifiable USDC price data from BandChain into Arc’s testnet. This enables smart contracts to retrieve pricing information with minimal delay. BAND says it views the move as part of a multi-oracle setup designed to enhance reliability for DeFi and real-world asset applications on Arc.
A reference contract is already available for developers working on the testnet.
Circle leaders describe Arc as an “Economic OS for the internet.” CEO Jeremy Allaire stated that the testnet is generating “remarkable early momentum” as companies across capital markets, banking, and payments begin to build on the network.

BAND Price Prediction: Will a Close Above $0.50 Trigger a Move Toward $0.55–$0.60?
BAND price itself continues to trade in a downward setup on the 4-hour TradingView chart. It sits near $0.488, with the 100-EMA close to $0.498 acting as a ceiling.
The 50-EMA is around $0.482 and remains below the 100-EMA, which keeps sentiment weak despite short-lived bounces.
The chart still shows lower highs and lower lows since the early-September spike. Attempts to recover in late September and October failed at lower points each time.
The breakdown in October pushed the price into a narrow $0.46–$0.50 zone, where it remains in a tight range.
Recent candles are small and mixed. That signals hesitation after the drop, but no clear shift in trend. The wider structure is a descending channel.
The latest bounce lost momentum at the channel line and the 100-EMA. This places nearby resistance at $0.498–$0.50.

The next supply zones are located near $0.55 and $0.60, where the price has reacted before. A steady close above the 100-EMA and the descending trendline would be the first hint that momentum is flipping, and it could allow a move back toward those levels.
Support sits around $0.46–$0.47, then $0.43–$0.44. The $0.40 area marks a deeper floor based on past trading.
If the price breaks below $0.46, sellers are likely to remain in control, increasing the likelihood of another drop within the channel.
Trading activity has thinned since September’s spike. Most of the heavier volume has occurred during down moves, which usually favors the bears.
Until the volume broadens and the price reclaims $0.50, the market tone remains neutral to soft.
For now, bulls need a clear break and hold above the 100-EMA and the trendline. Without that, the easier path remains sideways to lower inside the channel.
