Relative Strength Index (RSI), a momentum indicator reads 71.20, meaning SHIB is in the oversold territory and traders are advised not to open any fresh longs. If it falls below the 70 level it will be a signal to sell and might indicate the start of a pullback. Shiba Inu’s 50-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) crossed above the 200-day EMA, in a bullish “Golden Cross” on the price chart on January 10, 2023. 

With the recent decline in whale activity on the Ethereum blockchain, Shiba Inu could rebound from the drop in its price and hit the $0.00001250 level.
