Crypto analyst Smart Trading has revealed a bearish pattern for Shiba Inu, indicating that the bears are in firm control. Based on this, he predicted that SHIB could witness a 20% crash, which would represent a huge setback for the bulls.
Shiba Inu Breaks Down Below Triangle Pattern
In a TradingView post, Smart Trading stated that the Shiba Inu price recently broke down from a triangle pattern after consolidating near a key resistance. With this development, the analyst remarked that a potential retest of the breakdown zone around $0.00001396 is possible before continuing toward the support level near 0.00001041.
Based on this analysis, the major levels to watch include the resistance at $0.00001396 and the support zone at $0.00001041. In a TradingView post, crypto analyst Paper Trader also echoed a similar sentiment. He noted that Shiba Inu is consolidating in a demand zone and near a key level.
The analyst remarked that the bulls need the Shiba Inu price to break out of the demand zone above $0.00001300 for the top meme coin to reach $0.00001427. Based on his accompanying chart, this could pave the way for a further rally to $0.00001700. Paper Trader added that if the demand zone fails to hold, then SHIB bears can push the price to the 0.00001100 levels.
Shiba Inu has struggled this year and is down over 38% since the start of the year. This underperformance has caused the meme coin to drop drastically in the crypto rankings, currently ranked as the 19th crypto by market cap. SHIB had, towards the end of last year, reentered the top 10 ranking by market cap after recording an impressive 81% gain in under two weeks.
The Bottom May Be In For SHIB
On the other hand, crypto analyst GKTrademanthan has provided a bullish outlook for the Shiba Inu price, stating that the bottom is in for the meme coin. This came as he drew a similarity between the 2024 and current price action. He claimed that SHIB is following a repeated pattern cycle, which he broke into four stages.
The first stage is the falling wedge, which the analyst revealed has been completed. GKTrademanthan revealed that Shiba Inu has also completed the Cup and Handle pattern and W Pattern, which are stages 2 and 3, respectively.
Stage 4 is the inverted Head and Shoulders, which the analyst revealed is pending formation and could trigger a major upward move for Shiba Inu. The target on the breakout is $0.00002431, which represents about a 90% move from SHIB’s current levels.
At the time of writing, the Shiba Inu price is trading at around $0.00001322, up over 3% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.
