Per a chart shared by analyst SHIB KNIGHT, Shiba Inu has reversed its trend, breaking away from the downtrend on the 4H chart. Despite this visible breakout, the headwinds are not entirely clear for the token as its historic bearish trend still has a strong undertone.

For short-term holders, this current surge might be considered a sell window to take profit off their holdings. To sustain the bullish expectations of many, Shiba Inu’s long-term holders may need to keep the forte to prevent unusual slumps.

Leaning onto the Visible Catalysts

Shiba Inu is thriving at the moment. However, to sustain this growth, it may need to summon backing from its ecosystem. The right translation of the growth of Shibarium to SHIB price is necessary to bolster the current momentum.

Shiba Inu is a project with so many ambitions but with a relatively lower impact in the real world. With key innovations ranging from the proposed burn portal to Shibarium’s push to establish itself as a competitive layer-2 network, SHIB investors with a longer-term target have the right fundamentals to keep HODLing.
