Shiba Inu Price Forecast: Extends gains as on-chain and derivatives metrics confirm bullish bias

  • Shiba Inu price extends gains on Tuesday after breaking above the descending trendline the previous day.
  • On-chain data shows holders are withdrawing SHIB tokens from exchanges, signaling reduced selling pressure.
  • Derivatives data supports a bullish bias as funding rates stay positive and long positions continue to rise.

Shiba Inu (SHIB) extends gains, trading above $0.0000042 on Tuesday after breaking above the descending trendline the previous day. Strengthening on-chain data and improving derivatives metrics support further gains for the meme coin. 

Exchange outflows signal declining selling pressure

CryptoQuant’s exchange netflow chart below shows five consecutive days of net outflows (red bar) since July 17. This indicates that traders are withdrawing SHIB from exchanges to their wallets, signaling reduced selling pressure, supporting a bullish outlook.

Shiba Inu Price Forecast: Breaks above the descending trendline

Shiba Inu price extends its gains, trading above $0.0000042 on Tuesday after breaking out of the descending trendline (drawn by connecting multiple highs since mid-May) the previous day.

If SHIB continues its recovery, it could extend the rally toward the next daily resistance at $0.0000045. A close above this could extend gains toward the 50-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) at $0.0000045.

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) on the daily chart reads 45, trending toward the neutral 50 level and indicating fading bearish momentum. The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator showed a bullish crossover, with rising green histogram bars, further supporting the positive outlook.
