Shiba Inu price plateaus after sell-off, contemplates 40% upswing

  • Shiba Inu price is hovering around a support barrier at $0.00000811
  • Although unlikely, SHIB might slide 9% to tag $0.00000739 before rallying higher.
  • A breakdown of the demand level at $$0.00000625 will invalidate the bullish thesis.

Shiba Inu price is currently contemplating heading lower as it trades around a crucial support level. Although an upswing could kick-start, investors should not ignore the possibility of a downside move.

Shiba Inu price at crossroads

Shiba Inu price retraced 19% from its June 29 swing high at $0.00000997 to the demand barrier at $0.00000811. Despite ranging around this level for a while, SHIB might bounce and head higher or slice it to head lower.

The unclear bias can be connected to Bitcoin price, which is also ranging at the moment. Assuming a bull rally begins at $0.00000811, SHIB could slice through the intermediate levels and climb 40% to tag the ceiling at $0.0000112.

If the bullish momentum is not enough, the ascent could be cut short at 79% or 70.5% Fibonacci retracement levels at $0.0000107, $0.0000101, respectively.

However, if $0.00000811 shatters, the support barrier at $$0.00000739 will likely stop the bleeding and restart the upswing to the target mentioned above.

On the other hand, if the selling pressure continues to build up, Shiba Inu price will likely slice through the support level at $0.00000739 and tag $0.00000699.

In a high bearish case, if SHIB price disregards these footholds and produces a decisive 4-hour candlestick below $$0.00000625, it will invalidate the bullish thesis. Under these circumstances, investors can expect the Shiba Inu price to crash 17% to the range low at $0.00000518.
