Shiba Inu bears eye $0.00001935 next
Shiba Inu price has formed a descending parallel channel on the 12-hour chart, as SHIB continued to record lower highs and lower lows.
Shiba Inu price attempted to slice above the upper boundary of the prevailing chart pattern on December 28 to reverse the period of sluggish performance. However, selling pressure increased and SHIB slid lower, falling back into the consolidation pattern.
The first line of defense for Shiba Inu price is at the December 4 low at $0.00002952. SHIB price may discover another foothold at the December 21 low at $0.00002817. If the token falls below this level of support, the canine-themed cryptocurrency could be at risk of a 35% slide toward $0.00001935.
The middle boundary of the governing technical pattern at $0.00002659 would act as the intermediate line of defense for Shiba Inu price before the bears prepare for the massive decline toward the lower boundary of the parallel channel at $0.00001935.
