Cryptocurrencies Price Prediction: Shiba Inu, Ripple & Bitcoin – European Wrap 12 February

Shiba Inu Price Prediction: SHIB primed for 10% rally

Shiba Inu (SHIB) price has been on a downtrend for the last two months. However, the recent slowdown and sideways movement have led to a positive development that forecasts SHIB is likely to move higher.

Shiba Inu price shed 32% between December 17, 2023, and January 3, 2024. Connecting the lower highs formed during that down move traces a declining trend line, which serves as a dynamic resistance level.
