Price Analysis

Source- Tradingview

A bullish recovery from the $0.0000082 support drove the prices 5.5% higher in the last three days. However, the coin price currently trades at $0.0000085 and shows a power struggle to surpass an in-between resistance of $0.00000875. 

Moreover, the higher price rejection shown in the daily candle indicates a strong possibility for SHIB to revisit the $0.0000082 mark.

However, for coin holders to escape the current consolidation, the prices must breach either of the range barriers. 

Thus, the $0.0000082 breakdown will hint at the resumption of a prior downtrend and slump the Shiba Inu coin 8.5% down to hit $0.0000075.

Conversely, a daily candle closing above $0.00000966 will bring a sense of recovery and surge the price to $0.0000105.
