Shiba Inu (SHIB), the popular meme coin with a devoted community, has sparked renewed optimism among investors following a recent price uptick and a technical indicator hinting at potential gains. This comes despite the lack of a major surge after the highly anticipated Bitcoin halving event on April 19th.
While Bitcoin halving, known to historically influence cryptocurrency markets, hasn’t delivered a dramatic rise for SHIB yet, data from CoinMarketCap shows a 12.9% increase over the past week. However, this is a far cry from the highs of early March, when SHIB reached $0.000045, a level it currently sits 42.82% below.
Analyst Sees Falling Wedge Pattern: Bullish Signal?
Pseudonymous analyst Ak47 identified a potential turning point for SHIB. Their analysis, based on the 12-hour chart, highlights the formation of a “falling wedge” pattern. This technical indicator often precedes a bullish breakout, suggesting a potential price increase for SHIB. Ak47 recommends close attention to SHIB’s movements in the coming days.
Price Target and Resistance Level
The analyst’s chart analysis suggests a breakout point for SHIB, with a potential price target of $0.00003946 – a significant 53.36% increase from its current price. However, a crucial hurdle stands in the way: a resistance level at $0.00002803. This level represents a significant holding point for investors, with over 1,342 wallets holding at least $1 million worth of SHIB at this price point. A previous attempt by SHIB to breach this resistance proved unsuccessful.
Community Optimism Despite Challenges
Despite the recent price struggles, the Shiba Inu community remains optimistic. Data from IntoTheBlock reveals that over 1 million addresses have held SHIB for more than a year, indicating long-term investor confidence.
Whether SHIB can overcome the resistance level and reach the projected target price point hinges on various factors, including market sentiment, overall cryptocurrency trends, and the success of breaking past the current hurdle. The coming days will be crucial in determining the short-term trajectory of SHIB.
