SHIB Price Faces Rejection

The current trend for Shiba Inu price is downward. It has been consistently declining within a falling channel pattern, indicating strong bearish momentum. However, the price broke down from the falling wedge on August 3, a rare occurrence as falling wedges typically indicate a potential bullish reversal.

Shiba Inu’s price action has found support at around $0.000012, followed by a stronger support level at $0.00001. On the other hand, immediate resistance exists at the 50-day ($0.00001425) and 200-day ($0.00001628) exponential moving averages (EMAs). 

If SHIB price fails to re-enter the falling wedge, the asset may drop 18% to the previous 6-month low of $0.00001082.

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is at 47.61, approaching the neutral zone, suggesting that the asset is neither overbought nor oversold. The Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) is at 0.03, indicating a slightly positive money flow, which could be an early sign of buying interest.

A steady decline of volume during the recent minor upward move indicates some bearish volume-price divergence, which supports the continuation of the bearish trend unless there is a significant breakout.

Shiba Inu price prediction shows that if it surpasses $0.00001344, it may break back into the falling wedge, turning the bias bullish once more. A break above the 50 EMA may set it up for a bullish breakout above the falling wedge toward $0.00001625 and $0.000018.

Consequently, over 26,000 Shiba Inu holders are facing jeopardy as their 14.29T ($190 million) tokens may soon enter unrealized losses. These will join over 542T ($7.24 billion) tokens that have been underwater for the past almost three weeks, according to data from IntoTheBlock.
