Key takeaways

• SHIB is up 11% in the last 24 hours, outperforming the broader crypto market.
• The cryptocurrency could rally higher in the near term.

Memecoins surge higher

Leading memecoins Dogecoin (DOGE) and Shiba Inu (SHIB) have performed positively over the past 24 hours, easing from the recent selling pressure. The memecoins began December bearish but have recovered some gains over the past few hours.

The technical indicators remain mixed despite the recent positive price action. Retail interest in Dogecoin and Shiba Inu has increased in recent days. Data obtained from CoinGlass revealed an increase of 4.33% and 2.62% in DOGE and SHIB futures Open Interest (OI) over the last 24 hours, reaching $1.38 billion and $80.51 million, respectively. This surge in capital at risk in DOGE and SHIB futures indicates that investors are gaining confidence in the memecoins. 

 SHIB eyes the $0.00001 psychological level

The SHIB/USD 4-hour chart remains bearish and efficient as Shiba Inu has underperformed over the past few weeks. SHIB dropped below the $0.000010 psychological level since November 12 and has failed to recover since then. 

At press time, Shiba Inu is trading above $0.00000800 after four previous days of losses. The ongoing recovery could see SHIB recover above the November 29 high of $0.00000913. 

Similar to Dogecoin, SHIB’s RSI stands at 47, below the neutral 50, but suggesting that the bearish momentum is fading. The MACD lines are also closing in on a bullish crossover, confirming a potential recovery. If the recovery persists, SHIB will top the $0.00000913 resistance and head towards the $0.00001 psychological level.

However, if the bears regain control of the market, SHIB could retest the Monday low of $0.00000780 in the near term.
