Shiba Inu Gearing Up for 10x Rally

Popular technical analyst “Charting Guy” stated that the Shiba Inu price holds the potential for a major breakout, which could even trigger a price surge beyond its 2021 highs. The analyst also added that Shiba Inu is mimicking Dogecoin’s chart pattern while setting the stage for the breakout.

Charting Guy shared this opinion in response to a community member’s question about which altcoins might offer the potential for a substantial 10-fold return in the near future.

To support his bullish analysis, the analyst also provided a technical chart noting that the SHIB price recently encountered resistance at the “golden pocket,” a key Fibonacci retracement level between 0.618 and 0.65, which often acts as a resistance zone. Previously, this happened with Shiba Inu in the price range of $0.000031 to $0.000045.

Following this resistance, the analyst observed that SHIB has established strong support at the 0.236 Fibonacci level, corresponding to its current price of around $0.000013. This suggests that SHIB may have found a stable base and could continue its previous upward trend, reported CNF.
