As seen on its daily chart, Shiba Inu remains in support around the $0.0000117 to $0.0000119 level, holding above this level since May 15. While the price seems ready for incoming price movement, the daily RSI is tilting slightly upward above the oversold levels, suggesting the possibility of a near-term move.
Meanwhile, Shiba Inu continues to trade in a triangle pattern with support near $0.0000087, according to its weekly chart. With the imminent constriction of the triangle pattern in the coming days, a major move might be underway. If history repeats itself, Shiba Inu might embark on sideways trading, or consolidation, before its next move.
At the time of publication, SHIB was trading up 3% at $0.0000123 after setting intraday highs at $0.0000127. Buyers seem to be seeking potential entry points into the market as the meme cryptocurrency trades beneath the $0.000014 mark.
