Investors won’t be happy with this Shiba Inu price move

Shiba Inu price is trading in a tight range above a higher time frame foothold without yet retesting it. If sellers take control, however, and puncture below it, a massive sell-off is likely to take place.

Shiba Inu price reveals mixed signals

Shiba Inu price has crashed 90% from its all-time high, creating a swing low at $0.0000087 on May 12. Since this point, SHIB has recovered to $0.0000143 and has produced four lower highs and three equal lows.

Connecting these swing points reveals a descending triangle, forecasting a 20% crash to $0.0000082. The target is obtained by measuring the distance between the first swing high and low from the breakout point at $0.0000101. 

The higher time frame support level at $0.0000095, however, is going to hinder sellers and their plans and short-sellers need to wait for a confirmation that adds to their bearish thesis. 

From a macro perspective, the crash is unlikely to stop at $0.0000082 but extend lower. The consolidation that took place between May 2021 and September 2021 shows a volume point of control at $0.0000071, which will be the next support level that will absorb the incoming selling pressure, and thereby pausing the Shiba Inu price rally.

On the other hand, if Shiba Inu price produces a daily candlestick close above the descending triangle’s hypotenuse, it will trigger a bullish breakout. In this case, SHIB needs to climb past the $0.0000139 resistance barrier.

Flipping this hurdle into a support level will clearly invalidate the bearish thesis for Shiba Inu price.
