Shiba Inu Price Forecast: SHIB breaks above the consolidation range

Shiba Inu price found support around the 100-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) at $0.0000064 on Monday, but trades in red on Tuesday at around $0.0000065. However, the technical outlook remains constructive as SHIB broke above the upper consolidation boundary at $0.0000063 after 58 days of accumulation and rose slightly the previous week.

If SHIB holds above the 100-day EMA at $0.0000064, it could extend the rally toward the weekly resistance at $0.0000068.
