Analysts from leading international cross-border bank, Standard Chartered have made a bold prediction that Bitcoin could witness a significant rise to new all-time highs above $73,700. This projection, slightly higher than the cryptocurrency’s previous peak, comes with an unexpected and wholly ambitious timeline. Bitcoin Poised To Reach New All-Time Highs Geoff Kendrick, Head of EM FX Research, West and Crypto Research, Standard Chartered, has made a bullish prediction for Bitcoin, the world’s largest cryptocurrency. In an email to TheBlock, Kendrick stated that Bitcoin is poised to break out of its previous all-time high on March 14, 2024, to witness a massive surge to approximately $73,798. Related Reading: Crypto Market Liquidations Top $330 Million In 24 Hours With Ethereum In The Lead The analyst has projected a rather grandiose timeline for this bullish rally, expecting Bitcoin to hit the forecasted price target by the weekend. Kendrick attributed this potential price increase to the recent inflows into Spot Bitcoin ETFs. Earlier on May 21, data from Farside investors indicated that Spot Bitcoin ETFs had recorded their best inflow week in the last two months. The digital asset saw over $305.7 million in inflows, with BlackRock’s Bitcoin Trust ETF (IBIT), amassing the largest inflows of $290 million. Cumulatively, Spot Bitcoin ETFs have recorded inflows of more than $13 billion from its launch on January 11 to the present. This increased demand and influx of capital which had been a major contributor to Bitcoin’s previous rise to a new all-time high in March, could propel fresh surges for the cryptocurrency. Kendrick has also disclosed that the possible approval of Ethereum Spot ETFs by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) could have a significant impact on Bitcoin’s price dynamics. The analyst has doubled down on his previous price prediction which anticipates Bitcoin’s rise to $150,000 by the end of 2024 and a whopping $200,000 increase in 2025. BTC Price Analysis As of writing, the price of Bitcoin is trading at $70,013, reflecting a slight decline of 1.39% in the last 24 hours, according to CoinMarketCap. The cryptocurrency has been on a steady bullish momentum over the past week, experiencing consistent price surges, which have led to a sharp increase of 12.86%.

The approval of an Ethereum Spot ETF could see the cryptocurrency’s price potentially rising more, following previous patterns when the SEC’s approval of Spot Bitcoin ETFs triggered a major price spike for the pioneer cryptocurrency. This sentiment for a bullish breakout is shared by crypto analyst Ali Martinez, who has asserted that Bitcoin is currently showing a strong potential for further gains, underscoring the cryptocurrency’s robust price potential and strong fundamentals.

The analyst points to a new technical pattern emerging for SHIB, indicating the potential for a surge to new highs.

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.

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.

Shiba Inu (SHIB) could be on the brink of a price recovery following a bullish reversal in critical on-chain metrics. This also includes the burn rate, with a recent development showing a sustained increase in the number of SHIB tokens burned. Shiba Inu Demand Looks To Be On The Rise There has been an increase in Shiba Inu whale activity these past few days. On-chain data shows the transfer of 1.7 trillion SHIB to a Robinhood-linked wallet. Transferring such an amount to a centralized exchange will usually raise fears about an incoming dump on the market, but that doesn’t look to be the case this time around. Related Reading: Expert Maps Out Timeline For The XRP Price To Cross $1,000 Instead, Robinhood looks to be accumulating as many SHIB tokens as possible to meet customers’ demand. This also seems to be the case with Binance, the largest crypto exchange by market share, which recently transferred over 464 billion SHIB from one of its wallets to another. These large transactions also come at a time when Bitcoinist recently reported a Shiba Inu whale that spent $19 million to purchase 692 billion SHIB. This whale in question also looks to be holding for the long term as they immediately transferred their SHIB holdings to a non-custodial wallet for safekeeping. The increase in whale activity presents a bullish outlook for the Shiba Inu ecosystem, which could aid the meme coin’s price recovery. SHIB had previously experienced a price dip thanks in part to multiple on-chain metrics, which turned red last week. One of those metrics included the number of large transactions on the network, which Bitcoinist reported had declined by over 10%. Shiba Inu’s Burn Rate Increases By Over 1,200% Data from the burn tracking website Shibburn shows that SHIB’s burn rate has surged by 1287% in the last 24 hours, with 135 million tokens burnt during this period. Furthermore, there has been a sustained increase in these SHIB burns, with the burn rate rising by 129% in the last seven days. Related Reading: Skybridge CEO Says Bitcoin Can Reach Half Of Gold Market, How Much Will BTC Be? This is significant considering these token burns’ impact on SHIB’s price. The sustained increase in the SHIB burns is also undoubtedly a welcome development, considering the decline these past few weeks. Interestingly, the SHIB community has pulled this off while Shibarium’s daily transactions continue to lag. However, activity on the layer-2 network is expected to pick up soon as the Shiba Inu team actively promotes it. Decentralized Exchange (DEX) WoofSwap also recently announced that they have introduced the SHIB -314 token protocol on Shibarium, which could also help drive up the number of transactions on the network. At the time of writing, SHIB is trading at around $0.00002884, up in the last 24 hours according to data from CoinMarketCap.

Since reaching its peak for the year at $0.00004749 over a month ago, on March 5, the price of Shiba Inu (SHIB) has fallen by approximately 40%. Nonetheless, there may be brighter days ahead. Following a meteoric rise of 390% in just eight days from the end of February till the beginning of March, a period of consolidation was inevitable for the SHIB price. However, this phase could be drawing to a close. Shiba Inu Price About To Surge 65%? On the daily chart, the meme coin is exhibiting a critical chart pattern that suggests a significant price movement may be imminent. The analysis of the daily SHIB/USD chart reveals the emergence of a symmetrical triangle pattern. This classic chart pattern is generally considered a continuation pattern, typically heralding an uptick in volatility. Given that SHIB has been on a notably strong uptrend, the momentum could swing back in favor of the bulls. Over the past five weeks, the price of SHIB has been making a series of lower highs and higher lows, which is evident from the converging trend lines that are containing the price action. The apex of the triangle is fast approaching, suggesting that a breakout is imminent. This type of consolidation suggests market indecision, and as the pattern reaches its conclusion, we can expect a significant move in either direction. Related Reading: Crypto Analyst Predicts Shiba Inu Price To Rise 5000% To $0.001 – Here’s When The current price at the time of the analysis is $0.00002842. Notably, the volume has been declining as the pattern developed, which is typical during the formation of a symmetrical triangle and further validates the pattern. Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) also paint a crucial picture. The 20-day EMA is flatlining, suggesting a neutral short-term trend, while the 50, 100, and 200-day EMAs are all trending upward, providing strong support levels. Particularly, the price is currently above the 20-day EMA, which is positioned at approximately $0.00002817, and this level could act as a strong support in the near term. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is hovering near the 52.40 level, which is slightly above the midpoint of 50 that separates bullish momentum from bearish momentum. The RSI level indicates a neutral stance in the market momentum but leaves room for an upward push should the market sentiment sway positively. Related Reading: Shiba Inu Fires Up With 4,000% Burn – Price Rebound Coming? In terms of deriving price targets from this pattern, technical analysts typically measure the height of the triangle at its widest part and project that distance from the point of breakout. If SHIB breaks above the triangle, the price could surge, targeting the height of the triangle, which could be in the region of the yearly high at approximately $0.000048, considering the widest part of the pattern. This would translate into a 65% price rally from the current price. Conversely, a downward breakout could send the price to test the $0.00001500 level, which would be the equivalent target on the downside. It is important to mention that while symmetrical triangles can lead to a substantial breakout, the direction is not certain until a clear breakout occurs with an accompanying increase in volume. Traders and investors need to watch for a daily close outside of the triangle’s boundaries, with increased volume, to confirm the direction of the breakout.
