Shiba Inu (SHIB), the popular meme coin, has captured investor attention with its recent price movements. Often compared to Dogecoin, SHIB has seen a significant turnaround in 2024. Starting the year below $0.000010, SHIB surged over 450% to reach a high of $0.000045 in February. While still 71.3% lower than its 2021 peak, this recent rally hints at renewed investor interest and a potential shift in sentiment.
Consolidation Phase: Shiba Inu (SHIB) Poised for a Breakout?
Currently trading around $0.00002471, SHIB appears to be consolidating. Whether it has enough fundamental support to break the psychologically important $0.00003 level by May’s end remains a question. The token has dipped 3.3% in the last 24 hours, but its sights are set on $0.00003, according to CoinGecko data.
Changelly analysts offer a glimpse into SHIB’s potential for the coming weekend. Their forecast predicts SHIB to trade between a minimum of $0.0000250 and a maximum of $0.0000446, with a possibility of reaching the $0.00003 mark.
Bitcoin: The Big Brother Influence
Historically, Bitcoin’s (BTC) performance has significantly impacted other cryptocurrencies. SHIB’s most significant price jumps coincided with BTC’s highs near $73,000. As Bitcoin serves as a sentiment indicator for the broader market, its ability to break past resistance levels often triggers a rally, especially for altcoins like SHIB.
However, relying solely on Bitcoin’s price action might not guarantee sustained growth for SHIB, particularly without substantial developments on its end. The Shiba Inu developers are actively working on increasing adoption and utilizing the SHIB Burn Portal to improve the token’s economic model.

Volatility Ahead: Buckle Up
Traders should be prepared for potential price swings around these psychological barriers, especially with any setbacks in Bitcoin’s current rally. Despite the current consolidation, Shiba Inu’s overall trajectory suggests it has the potential to surpass its all-time high later this year, but its success hinges on a combination of market sentiment, Bitcoin’s performance, and the team’s ability to deliver on its development promises.
