Shiba Inu bulls defend dual support with 1T volume – What next?

Shiba Inu (SHIB) has gained over 2% in the past 24 hours, with bulls defending key support levels on the back of strong volumes.

The meme fell early Wednesday as BTC and the broader market witnessed de-risking ahead of Fed Chair Jerome Powell's impending speech.

Buyers, however, stepped in closer to the $0.00001200 level, ensuring that the psychological support was maintained. The subsequent recovery also lifted prices back above the ascending trendline connecting June 22 and Aug. 2 lows, and the key level of $0.00001231, which is the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement of the June-July rally.

According to CoinDesk's AI technical insights model, $0.000012700 is the next level to beat for the bulls.
