Shiba Inu Coin (SHIB) Price

The short-term trend in Shiba Inu coin is sideways, where its price continues to wobble between $0.00000966 and $0.00000820 levels. On December 17th, the memecoin rebounded from the $0.0082 support, triggering a new bull cycle within this range movement. However, the price is struggling to breach the in-between resistance of $0.875, suggesting the ongoing consolidation will prolong for a few more sessions.

Why is the Shiba Inu coin price rising?

Despite a sluggish price action in market leaders Bitcoin and Ethereum, the Shiba Inu coin price has risen for three consecutive days. It’s possible that this steady growth is related to excitement regarding a special countdown mentioned on Shiba Inu’s official Twitter account,

Moreover, this countdown is expected to be the initial step of Shibarium’s Beta launch. This much-awaited layer two blockchain solution getting into action will have a significant impact on the Shiba Inu coin’s market value.

 

Moreover, binance, the world’s largest crypto exchange by volume, recently posted a tweet with the most-watched cryptocurrencies of 2022. Thus, the Shiba coin made it to the list, encouraging a bullish rally.

Price Analysis

TradingView ChartSource- 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.
