Shiba Inu price needs to form a base for SHIB to rally 25%

Shiba Inu price has been on a steady downtrend for roughly two months and shows no signs of slowing down. However, investors can expect SHIB to form a base that will result in a reversal of the nosedive.

Shiba Inu price looks for a base

Shiba Inu price has produced roughly four lower lows since the December 4 crash. Due to its downtrend, SHIB is very close to retesting the December 4 swing low at $0.0000295. Investors can expect the meme coin to see some sort of bullish activity around this level, leading to the formation of a base.

Bitcoin set to make a double bottom, with bullish signs for the new year

Bitcoin (BTC) price saw bulls last week trying to reclaim the $50,000 marker, but this week the attempt got rejected and formed a bull trap in the making. Instead, it looks like BTC will close the year on the back foot. Going into 2022, this means that Bitcoin could see investors picking up the lucrative discount around $44,088-$43,030, with 2022 forecasted to be a grand-cru year with new all-time highs projected over $100,000.

Bitcoin will see investors pick up the discount in these last two trading weeks of 2021
