Potential Bullish Breakout for SHIB Coin with Bitcoin Halving on the Horizon
The ongoing correction trend in Shiba Inu price can be traced through two converging trendlines of a bullish pattern called the following wedge. The two converging trends have acted as dynamic resistance and support, leading to a 60% pullback from $0.0000456 to $0.0000183.
However, the coin witnessed immediate demand pressure on the pattern’s lower trendline leading the SHIB price back to $0.0000227. As the broader market prolonged its consolidation in the wait for Bitcoin halving, the Shiba Inu price wavered sideways around $0.0000227 for over a week.
According to the recent analysis of renowned trader Alichart, Bitcoin has historically exhibited a phase of euphoria indicating the peak of its bull cycles. This phase is yet to be observed in the current cycle, suggesting that the market may not have reached its top yet.
The commentary is based on the Long-Term Holder Net Unrealized Profit/Loss (NUPL) data, which is used to gauge the overall market sentiment and profitability of long-term investments in Bitcoin.

Thus, with less than 12 hours for Bitcoin halving, the market participants are expecting a notable shift in market sentiment favoring buyers. The potential in BTC could bolster altcoins including the Shiba Inu coin to breach the wedge pattern.
A bullish breakout from the overhead trendline will signal the continuation of the recovery trend and set the SHIB price to chase to $0.0000328, and $0.00004 potential target.
