Shiba Inu price in Catch-22 as price action could slide below $0.00001000 again

Shiba Inu (SHIB) price is trading sideways as the US trading session is underway before closing off this Friday. After some sharp moves and a pickup in volatility on Wednesday and Thursday, price action is nearly dead early Friday, moving as it is in a tight range. With the divergence in the Relative Strength Index (RSI) pointing to the downside, bears are silently planning a last push for this trading week below $0.00001000.

Shiba Inu price silently has bears creeping in from the back door

Shiba Inu price trading sideways to lower is an ideal trading moment for scalpers and one-minute traders that quickly jump on any high or low point to make money. A surprise is just around the corner though as the RSI is pointing to a decline nearby while price action is painting a green candle. This divergence points to bears at work and might see a bearish breakout any moment between now and the closing of the US session.

SHIB could quickly see a first spring toward $0.00001000 and a small pause there as it is a psychological level for most bulls. Once price action starts to slide below it, expect a sharp but brief falling knife that will hit $0.00000966 in a matter of seconds. 5% value will have been erased, and SHIB bulls will be facing a close below $0.00001000 before heading into the weekend as the worst possible scenario to close off this trading week.

Over the weekend, bulls can let the dust settle and start to buy on the dip with price action slowly but surely making its way up above $0.00001000 again. From there, a staged recovery might emerge with first $0.00001060 as the level to get to. Once that turns over into bullish support, expect next another leg higher toward $0.00001080 to try and break above the 55-day Simple Moving Average before the weekend is over.
