Shiba Inu (SHIB), the popular meme coin, is making headlines once again as an analyst predicts a potential 500% price surge. The analyst claims SHIB is on the cusp of breaking out of a bullish falling wedge pattern, a technical indicator often associated with significant price rallies.
This optimistic outlook stands in contrast to SHIB’s recent performance. The meme coin has undergone a substantial correction of over 70% since its February 2024 peak, which coincided with the approval of the Bitcoin spot ETF. Despite the downturn, SHIB remains the second-largest meme coin by market capitalization, boasting a valuation of over $7.85 billion.
A successful breakout from the bullish falling wedge pattern could propel SHIB’s price to $0.000081, according to the analyst. However, several factors temper this bullish sentiment. SHIB is currently trading below its 200-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA), indicating a downtrend. Additionally, a weekly candle close above the $0.0000183 level is necessary to confirm a sustained uptrend.
While SHIB’s price has experienced a modest 1% increase in the past 24 hours, trading volume has declined by 50%, suggesting waning investor interest. However, a recent 13% increase in open interest, as reported by Coinglass, indicates growing investor curiosity.
