Shiba Inu is exhibiting interesting price action as it looks to break above a downward-sloping upper trendline under which it has been trading since the first week of March. Currently, SHIB is up by 10% in the past seven days and is at a decisive junction of a breakout that could lead to a strong […]
The Shiba Inu (SHIB) price has exhibited a notable increase, rising by 6.5% in the last 24 hours and 12.5% over the past week, marking a significant shift towards bullish momentum. Technical analysis of the daily SHIB/USD chart reveals a descending trend line where price has been rejected on every single daily close for the past two months. However, today’s price movements have led to a shift. The descending trend line that previously governed Shiba Inu’s downward trajectory has recently been breached, suggesting a potential reversal or at least a weakening of the bearish pressure. Renowned crypto analyst Cold Blooded Shiller remarked, “One of the commandments of memes is thou shalt always long the meme when the trendline snaps.” One of the commandments of memes is thou shalt always long the meme when the trendline snaps pic.twitter.com/iPDpuX46ZH — Cold Blooded Shiller (@ColdBloodShill) May 4, 2024 Prior to the breakout, he noted, “In 20IQ szn you’re looking for 20IQ entry signals. Breaking the trendline that has been respected on every single daily close for the past 2 months will be one of those. SHIB starting to tick.” Related Reading: Analyst Predicts Shiba Inu to Soar 50% Amidst Meme Coin Market Rise The shift is supported by the positioning of Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs); the 20-day EMA at approximately $0.00002238 and the 50-day EMA at $0.00002131 which were both breached with yesterday’s daily close. Further down, the 100-day and 200-day EMAs at around $0.00001831 serve as significant support zones, indicating strong buy levels should any major retracement occur. The interaction of price with these EMAs in the coming days will be crucial in determining the sustainability of the current breakout. The application of Fibonacci retracement from the recent peak to the trough are also illustrating a pivotal development for Shiba Inu’s price action. The 0.236 Fibonacci retracement level at $0.00002483, recently surpassed in yesterday’s trading session, now serves as a critical support in the short term. This level’s importance is accentuated by its role in confirming the legitimacy of the recent breakout from the descending trend line—a breakout that might otherwise be dismissed as a mere technical anomaly or ‘fakeout.’ Currently, a retest of this $0.00002483 level as support is underway. A closure of today’s daily candle above this mark would solidify the argument for a more sustained upward trajectory in SHIB’s price. Such a close would reinforce investor confidence that the breakout is genuine and that the market sentiment may be shifting more firmly to the bullish side. Related Reading: Shiba Inu Volume Flips Dogecoin, Will SHIB Price Flip DOGE If This Analyst’s Prediction Comes True? If SHIB’s price remains steadfast above this newfound support, the immediate subsequent target would be the $0.00002882 level, correlating with the 0.382 Fibonacci retracement. A breach of this resistance would likely set the stage for further gains towards $0.00003205 and $0.00003527, the 0.5 and 0.618 Fibonacci retracement levels, respectively. Reaching the 0.618 level, often referred to as the ‘golden ratio,’ could potentially yield a substantial 40% gain from current prices, offering a lucrative scenario for investors closely monitoring these technical cues. The heightened trading volume (+30% in the last 24 hours) underlines active participation in the market, crucial for supporting the legitimacy of the breakout. Alongside, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) at 55.05 indicates that the asset is neither overbought nor oversold, leaning towards a neutral to slightly bullish position. This provides room for upward movement without immediate concerns of entering overbought territory. Overall, with the recent breakout above the descending trend line, Shiba Inu’s price action invites a bullish outlook, suggesting that the downtrend may be losing its grip. The key for traders will be to watch for a daily close above $0.00002483. A confirmed hold above this level could pave the way for further ascents towards higher Fibonacci levels.

Well-known cryptocurrency expert and enthusiast Dami Defi has offered his insights on the price action of Shiba Inu, predicting a surge in the crypto asset as the Meme coin market sees a fresh wave of demand. Given the optimism around meme coins lately, Dami Defi is confident that Shiba Inu could rise by over 50% shortly. Shiba Inu Price Could Rise By 20% Shiba Inu (SHIB) has become one of the leading meme coins, attracting positive outlooks from several analysts in the crypto space today. Even though Shiba Inu began the week on a negative note, Dami Defi believes the meme coin can potentially surge in the short term. Related Reading: Crypto Analyst Predicts 350% Surge For Shiba Inu – Here’s The Target According to Dami Defi, the digital asset’s price has formed a descending wedge pattern in the 1-day timeframe. Should SHIB break out of this falling wedge pattern, Dami Defi anticipates an over 50% surge in Shiba Inu’s price. This 50% increase will take the crypto asset from its present price to the $0.000035 level. The analyst predictions align with Ali Martinez’s forecast, highlighting that the digital asset’s price is moving in a descending parallel channel. While Dami Defi anticipates an over 50% price surge for Shiba Inu, Martinez expects the crypto asset to rise by over 20% in the short term. Martinez’s anticipated 20% increase will take the crypto asset from the $0.00002444 price to the $0.00002954 level. Martinez appears bullish on Shiba Inu, as he had predicted the asset to reach $0.000072323. He highlighted that SHIB on the daily chart seems to be forming a bull flag, indicating an impending movement on the upside. Due to this, the expert opened trade at around $0.000018343 in hopes of a strong breakout that will take Shiba Inu to $0.000072323. Martinez’s prognosis, fueled by March’s rally, indicates that SHIB’s value may rise even further, providing investors in this thriving and active sector of the cryptocurrency market with a positive outlook for the meme coin. SHIB Predicted To Repeat 2021 Price Trend Or Even Better Shiba Inu’s marketing head, Lucie, delved into the memecoin’s price action. Lucie claims that during October 2021, SHIB, with no burns and no significant adoption at the time, witnessed a surge from $0.000007 to $0.000088 in just a matter of days, indicating an over 1,100% rise. Related Reading: Shiba Inu Price Prediction: Crypto Analyst Says Massive Surge Is Coming, Here’s The Target With the massive burns and widespread seen today within the SHIB ecosystem, Lucie might be suggesting the potential for the asset to reiterate this move or even further in this bull cycle. If this trend repeats, SHIB’s price might reach $0.00025 in this bull cycle. Lucie also underscored the consistent support by SHIB’s robust community and strong Shibarium ecosystem since 2021, which might also catalyze Shiba Inu’s growth. At the time of writing, SHIB was trading at $0.00002366, demonstrating an increase of over 4% in the past week. Despite the price rise, its market cap has been down by 2.59%, while its trading volume has been up by 1.79% in the past day. Given the momentum in the meme coin market, SHIB may be able to see more gains in the coming months. Featured image from iStock, chart from Tradingview.com

The price of Shiba Inu (SHIB), the self-proclaimed “Dogecoin killer,” has been caught in a technical tug-of-war, with bears attempting to push it lower and bulls clinging to signs of hope. Analysts are scrutinizing the memecoin’s chart pattern and on-chain data to decipher its next move. Related Reading: Is MATIC Poised For Takeoff? Key Area Breaks Records, Fueling Bullish Outlook Descending Triangle Looms: Will SHIB Fall Or Fly? A descending triangle formation has emerged on SHIB’s 3-day chart. This pattern typically indicates a potential price decline, as the asset’s price gets squeezed between converging support and resistance lines. The big question for SHIB holders: will the price break below support and continue its descent, or will it defy gravity and break out of the triangle, sparking an uptrend? Falling Demand Raises Concerns For Shiba Inu Adding fuel to the bearish fire, SHIB has witnessed a significant drop in demand. Data from Santiment reveals a worrying trend: the daily active addresses for SHIB have plummeted by more than 50% over the past month. This suggests a shrinking user base and potentially lower trading volume, which can put downward pressure on the price. Source: Santiment New Investors Give SHIB The Cold Shoulder Further dampening spirits is the sharp decline in new addresses joining the SHIB party. According to on-chain data, the number of new addresses created daily to trade SHIB has nosedived by 51% in the same period. This lack of fresh blood entering the market could exacerbate the selling pressure. Shiba Inu is currently trading at $0.000024. Chart: TradingView SHIB’s High Valuation: A Recipe For Sell-Off? Another factor causing concern is SHIB’s Market Value to Realized Value (MVRV) ratio. This metric compares the current market price with the average acquisition price of all SHIB tokens. Currently, SHIB’s MVRV ratio sits at a lofty 38%. When this ratio is high, it suggests the asset might be overvalued, potentially triggering existing holders to cash in on their profits and contribute to a sell-off. SHIB monthly price action. Source: CoinMarketCap A Silver Lining? Despite the prevailing bearish sentiment, a glimmer of hope flickers for SHIB. The coin’s weighted sentiment has surprisingly turned positive recently, indicating a shift in market perception. This newfound optimism could translate into a price breakout, defying the descending triangle’s bearish implications. Related Reading: Bitcoin Update: $120 Million Futures Liquidated As Price Takes A Beating Can Bullish Sentiment Propel SHIB To Higher Ground? If the positive sentiment persists, analysts predict a potential price surge for SHIB, reaching $0.00003. This would be a welcome change for investors who have witnessed a recent price slump. Meanwhile, SHIB’s Fibonacci retracement level shows that the memecoin’s price may drop further 15% to trade at a low of $0.000018 if the bears continue to put pressure on it and it falls below support. SHIB investors now have more cause for concern as this underscores the possible repercussions of a bearish breakthrough. Featured image from Pexels, chart from TradingView
Shiba Inu (SHIB) has demonstrated resilience despite recent market downturns. Data reveals that roughly over 700 trillion SHIB tokens held by more than 650,000 wallet addresses remain profitable, reflecting steadfast confidence among holders in the token’s long-term value. Shiba Inu Market Resilience Amid Volatility Recent on-chain analytics have uncovered an interesting trend among Shiba Inu investors. Despite a general dip in SHIB’s market price, investors continue to hold a substantial volume of tokens—totaling 733 trillion—showing unrealized gains. Related Reading: Massive SHIB Movement Ignites Market Speculation: Is A Big Surge On The Horizon? These holdings, maintained by approximately 653,530 individual wallets, were acquired at prices ranging from $0.000002 to $0.000022, averaging out at $0.000011. This indicates not only a significant level of acquisition but also a broad base of investors who entered the market at lower valuations, positioning themselves in profit despite the coin’s fluctuating fortunes. The “Break Even Price” indicator, a crucial tool derived from on-chain data, suggests that many SHIB holders are still in the green financially. This could point to a collective strategy among holders to weather short-term price movements, with an eye on potential long-term returns. Such data reinforces the notion of SHIB as more than just a speculative asset, hinting at a deeper conviction among its community regarding the token’s future potential. Long-Term Outlook And Ecosystem Developments Despite a decline of 5.2% over the past week and 11.9% over the past month, Shiba Inu has seen a recent uptick of 3.3% in its price in the last 24 hours, trading at $0.00002389. The SHIB price is moving sideways on the 4-hour chart. Source: SHIB/USDT on TradingView Notably, this upward trajectory in value mirrors the asset’s trading volume, which has also surged from below $400 million last week to above $600 million as of today. This recovery aligns with significant developmental strides within the Shiba Inu ecosystem, particularly the completion of a hard fork in its Layer-2 blockchain solution, Shibarium. The Shibarium hard fork, executed at block height 4504576, introduced enhancements aimed at improving usability and transaction efficiency. This was a response to community feedback advocating better performance and lower costs. This upgrade is expected to boost transaction speeds and stabilize transaction fees on Shibarium, making costs more predictable for users.

An analyst explained how Shiba Inu could be heading towards a massive rally based on a bull flag pattern that forms in its daily chart. Shiba Inu Has Been Consolidating Inside A Bull Flag Recently In a new post on X, analyst Ali has discussed about a bull flag that has recently appeared in the daily price of Shiba Inu. The bull flag is a pattern in technical analysis (TA) that, as its name suggests, is shaped like a flag on a pole. The pattern forms when an uptrend is followed by a period of consolidation inside a parallel channel toward the downward direction. The starting uptrend makes up for the pole, while the channel acts as the flag. Related Reading: Bitcoin Greed No More: Sentiment Back At Neutral After $57,000 Plunge Like other TA patterns, the consolidation channel or flag here comprises two parallel lines. The upper level connects the price tops, while the lower one joins the bottoms. When the asset retests either of these levels, it’s probable to undergo a reversal, with the upper line of the channel acting as a point of resistance and the lower one as support. A break above the resistance line is considered a bullish signal for the price. The uptrend resulting from such a break may be the same length as the flag’s pole. On the other hand, a drop below the flag (that is, a breakdown of support) invalidates the formation and may even suggest the takeover of bearish momentum for the asset. Similar to the bull flag, there is also the bear flag in TA, which works much in the same way, except that it occurs during a downtrend (with the flag signifying consolidation towards the upside following a downward pole). Now, here is the chart shared by Ali that shows the bull flag pattern Shiba Inu has potentially been forming on its daily price recently: The formation that the memecoin's price has been displaying during the last few weeks | Source: @ali_charts on X From the graph, it’s clear that the Shiba Inu 1-day price has been consolidating inside what appears to be a bull flag pattern channel in the past few weeks. “I’m placing buy orders around $0.000018343, aiming for a bullish breakout that sends $SHIB to $0.000072323,” says the analyst. The former level is about where SHIB should meet the flag’s support next if it continues in its current trajectory, while the latter target is based on the height of the pole. Related Reading: Bitcoin To $92,190: Crypto Analyst Reveals Path To ATH Target A run to the bullish target of $0.000072323 would imply a rally of more than 244% from the current spot price of the cryptocurrency, while from the lower support of $0.000018343, any such surge would correspond to a growth of over 294%. It remains to be seen whether Shiba Inu will show a break above this bull flag pattern and, if it does, whether the price will benefit from bullish effects.

The Shiba Inu ecosystem has been subjected to updates in the last few days as developers look to bolster the cryptocurrency’s prospects in the long term. Behind the scenes, on-chain data also reveals a bullish trend among SHIB investors, with the exchange balance dropping to new lows. Adding to the bullish case is the fact that SHIB’s price has bounced right off the key 0.618 Fibonacci ratio level, otherwise known as the “golden ratio.” These metrics, in combination, are particularly setting up the stage for a price surge that could see SHIB surging in the current market cycle. Exchange Balances For SHIB Hit New Lows According to CryptoQuant’s SHIB analytics dashboard, the total SHIB reserve on crypto exchanges has been on a free fall for the majority of this year. At the time of writing, the SHIB exchange reserve now stands at around 150 trillion tokens, compared to 164 trillion SHIB tokens on February 29. This means the total number of SHIB tokens in crypto exchange reserves has fallen by 14 trillion SHIB in less than two months. Related Reading: Analyst Says XRP Price Will Reach $100, But This Needs To Happen First The drop in exchange reserve is somewhat of a bullish indicator for SHIB, as it shows that holders are less liable to sell their coins and are instead opting instead to store them in private wallets. This outflow from exchanges has particularly been compounded in the last few weeks, with on-chain data revealing an increase in activity from Shiba Inu whales. An example is a recent accumulation of 237.8 billion SHIB tokens worth $6.9 million by a new whale address. Furthermore, recent price action in recent months has seen the price of SHIB bouncing off the 0.618 Fibonacci ratio level on April 14th, setting up the stage for a golden ratio rebound. This is a key support level according to the Fibonacci tool, and the bounce indicated the start of a major uptrend. SHIB encountered this bounce on April 15 around the $0.00002117 price level after a correction of over 51% from its yearly high of $0.00004400. Shiba Inu To $0.0001? At the time of writing, SHIB was trading at $0.00002702, up by 19% in the past seven days. Interestingly, the SHIB price has increased by over 27% since its bounce above the golden cross to confirm the crypto has fully reversed into a bullish sentiment. Related Reading: XRP Wallets Holding At Least 1 Million Coins Nears All-Time High As Sentiment Improves Fundamentals point to a continued SHIB price surge in the coming days amid mainstream interest and adoption. One of these is the recent $12 million investment raised by the Shiba Inu team to develop a layer-3 blockchain on top of Shibarium. With supply on exchanges diminishing and SHIB building surging after bouncing off a key Fibonacci level, the ingredients are in place for a rebound to $0.00004400 or higher. If SHIB can clear this resistance, it opens up a run toward $0.00008616, which would represent a 218% increase from today’s price.

Shiba Inu has constantly managed to trade above $0.000021 last week amidst an ongoing tussle between the bulls and bears. On-chain data has indicated some serious whale movements during this period, with trillions of SHIB shuffled in and out of exchanges. The price of SHIB went through a decline earlier in the week from an extended selloff in the previous week. As the week progressed, things started to change into bullish action during the weekend up until a resistance just below $0.000028. Interestingly, on-chain transaction data from whales shows the major holders moved trillions of SHIB over the weekend, with 3.19 trillion SHIB movement in the past 24 hours. Recent on-Chain Data Shows Large SHIB Whale Activity According to IntoTheBlock’s large transaction volume data, the number of Shiba Inu transactions over $100,000 went through a major uptick last week, with the value of transactions greater than $100,000 reaching $661.5 million. On April 19th alone, SHIB transactions in this cohort reached 6.36 trillion SHIB worth $144.76 million. Large transactions in the last 24 hours particularly reached 3.19 trillion SHIB worth $82.49 million. Related Reading: Were Bitcoin Miners Behind The BTC Price Crash Below $60,000? With so much SHIB on the move, the big question is where are these whales sending their tokens. Interestingly, on-chain data showed large transactions consisting of a to and fro movement into and outside exchanges, indicating mixed feelings from large holders. A notable transaction involved the movement of 100 billion SHIB tokens into a crypto exchange on Sunday. Speculations from investors are that this could be a potential selloff from the whale, suggesting that there is a possibility of a price decline in the short term. What Does This Mean For Shiba Inu Holders? For average SHIB investors, whale activity can be both promising and worrying. While more large holders and transactions may indicate growing mainstream interest and adoption of the token, their moves can also significantly impact price. A positive price movement is enjoyed by Shiba Inu when whales are accumulating from exchanges. However, movement into exchanges suggests a selloff, as in the case of the 100 billion SHIB transaction on Sunday. Related Reading: Ethereum Enters Accumulation Phase As $500 Million ETH Leave Exchanges At the time of writing, SHIB is trading at $0.00002726, a 6.65% increase from 0.00002556 in the past 12 hours. Shiba Inu is also up by 16% on a larger seven-day timeframe and is on the way to displacing Cardano in the market cap rankings. SHIB’s price action this week should be full of action as the week unfolds, with the bulls now retesting a resistance at $0.000028. According to IntoTheBlock’s “In/Out Of The Money” metric, 6.62 trillion SHIB tokens were bought at this price level, with 28,760 addresses waiting to make a profit. A break over this price level indicates further resistance levels at $0.000029 and $0.000030.

In a recent update, Shiba Inu developer Kaal Dhairya (@kaaldhairya), confirmed that a temporary outage affecting the Shibarium network has been resolved. The outage, triggered by networking issues among validators, briefly disrupted services within the Shiba Inu ecosystem, specifically the layer-2 blockchain solution, Shibarium. Kaal detailed the cause and the subsequent resolution of the problem, stating, “There was a temporary Shibarium outage caused because of networking issues amongst the validators. Network is back up and running now.” He also noted that while the primary network functionality has been restored, some ancillary services such as Shibariumscan or external Remote Procedure Calls (RPCs) may continue to face disruptions until additional remedial steps are completed. Related Reading: Shiba Inu (SHIB) Price Jumps On Growing Support From 1.4 Million Holders Kaal emphasized the importance of collaboration among infrastructure teams to enhance communication and streamline operations. He urged external teams working on infrastructure-level elements such as RPC to coordinate closely with the Shibarium team. “If you’re an external team working on infrastructure level for Shibarium (e.g., RPC, etc.), please reach out so that we can streamline comms with you over shared telegram / slack channels,” he said. There was a temporary shibarium outage caused because of networking issues amongst the validators. Network is back up and running now, some services like shibariumscan or external RPCs can still remain down until the steps provided are implemented. If you’re an external team… — Kaal (@kaaldhairya) April 22, 2024 Shiba Inu Price Unfaced The recent price movements of Shiba Inu (SHIB) show no impact of the Shibarium outage. The four-hour chart for SHIB/USD illustrates a symmetrical triangle pattern that has governed the asset’s movement over the past several weeks. Contrary to a direct bullish sentiment, the price initially broke to the downside of the triangle on April 12, which typically signals a looming downtrend. However, in a swift change of fortunes, SHIB found substantial support at the 100-day EMA and is now testing the extended lower trendline of the once-confining triangle. At present, the price has surpassed the crucial resistance-turned-support level marked by the 0.236 Fibonacci retracement level at $0.00002472. Notably, SHIB is also trading above all EMA’s in the 4-hour chart. The 200 EMA (blue line) is currently serving as crucial support after the first attempt to break above the extended trendline (black) failed. Related Reading: Shiba Inu Insider Reveals Top 5 Shibarium Investment Rules A decisive and sustained break above this level could invalidate the prior bearish breakout, positioning SHIB for a potential bullish move to the north. However, volume activity on the chart indicates a tempered trading environment, lacking the aggressive spikes typically associated with decisive breakouts. This could suggest that the market is in a state of contemplation, with traders awaiting further confirmation before committing to a clear directional bias. Lastly, the RSI sits at a reading of 67, which is just shy of the overbought threshold. This placement implies that there is room for upward movement before the market becomes overextended. If SHIB battles above the extended lower trendline, the case for an imminent surge grows stronger, potentially leading to a rally towards the Fibonacci levels of 0.382 ($0.00002867), 0.5 ($0.00003203) and 0.618 ($0.00003527).
