Shiba Inu price weakens as SHIB bears target 28% decline

  • Shiba Inu price could drop another 28% as the bears kickstart a sell-off.
  • The canine-themed token sliced below $0.00002492, a critical line of defense and the lower boundary of the prevailing chart pattern.
  • A technical indicator suggests that there are significantly more sellers than buyers in the market.

Shiba Inu price has put a 28% descent on the radar following a break below a crucial level of support. The bearish chart pattern has indicates that SHIB bears are planning a deep plunge toward $0.00001600.

Shiba Inu price risk skewed to the downside

Shiba Inu price has sliced below the lower boundary of the descending triangle pattern at $0.00002492 on the daily chart, suggesting a pessimistic forecast of a 35% decline toward $0.00001600. 

The Arms Index (TRIN) which gauges overall market sentiment suggests that there is a massive increase in sellers than buyers in the market. 

The canine-themed token has already kickstarted a descent as selling pressure significantly increased, and SHIB is still awaiting a 28% fall toward the aforementioned pessimistic target. 

Additional footholds will appear at the October 8 low at $0.00002060, then at the 127.2% Fibonacci extension level at $0.00001744 before dropping toward the pessimistic target.

However, if buying pressure increases, Shiba Inu price may face an immediate obstacle at the October 15 low at $0.00002333 before meeting another hurdle at the 200-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) at $0.00002449, near the lower boundary of the governing technical pattern.
