Shiba Inu (SHIB) is showing strength this week after blasting through resistance at $0.000009 and almost closing the gap to $0.00001. However, due to the seller congestion at $0.0000096, a brief correction took place to support at $0.0000088.
Although SHIB price had reclaimed higher support at $0.000009 at the time of writing on Tuesday, market doldrums are anticipated before the meme coin breaks above $0.00001.
The formation of a double-top pattern in the four-hour time frame quickly changed the short-term outlook for Shiba Inu, resulting in a trend correction. As observed in the chart below, sellers have the upper hand for now which means that declines could extend if bulls fail to hold onto a higher support preferably at the 20 Exponential Moving Average (EMA) (blue).
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) paints a grim picture at the moment following its retreat from highs around 80 in the overbought area into the neutral zone at 58.
It is possible that a trend reversal will follow momentarily but first the RSI must successfully retest the ascending trendline.
Although a trend reversal seems imminent, traders may want to prepare for more dips below the 20 EMA support at $0.0000089. In that case, the 50 EMA (red) coinciding with the descending trendline and the 200 EMA at $0.0000083 will come in handy.
Price corrections are not necessarily a bad thing, especially in bull markets, they allow sidelined investors to seek exposure to SHIB while traders dollar-cost average to maximize gains as the uptrend resumes.
