Shiba Inu technical outlook: SHIB finds support around key zone

Shiba Inu price retested the daily support level at $0.0000043 on Tuesday and found support around it. As of writing on Wednesday, SHIB is rebounding, trading above $0.0000044.

If daily support at $0.0000043 holds, SHIB could extend the recovery toward the 50-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) at $0.0000046.

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is nearing the neutral 50 level, reading 46 on Wednesday and indicating that bearish momentum is weakening. The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) also shows fading red histogram bars, further suggesting that bearish momentum is losing strength.
