- Memecoin Shiba Inu has been trading in a narrow price range.
- The phased consolidation of $SHIB produced an unusual pattern.
- Shiba Inu reclaimed a critical support line today with 6.4% gains.
The tussle between Shiba Inu’s bulls and bears continues in full motion. Technically speaking, the popular cryptocurrency has been trading in phased consolidation since early June. On top of that, this week has seen almost equal division between bears & bulls, which produced an ultra-rare geometric pattern in the trading charts.
Doji, a candlestick that usually indicates trader indecision, occurred in the weekly Shiba Inu trading charts. This geometrical figure can be spotted by a narrow body and very long wicks. The Doji pattern, the Dragonfly candlestick, points to neutral market sentiment and continuing consolidation. The trend only ends when bulls or bears come up as winners.

Fortunately, Shiba Inu’s bulls have prevailed this time – the bullish breakout happened right after another highly-publicized altcoin, XRP, was officially deemed a non-security by a prominent United States judge in the Ripple vs. SEC case. Gearing up for a breakout, SHIB reached a bullish divergence at $0.00000752.
SHIB Breaks Important Barrier Amid XRP News
While the bulls are back in control, it’s also fair to point out that the bull run is mainly driven by general cryptocurrency news – XRP has been deemed a non-security, which set off a wave of cash inflow into various altcoins. Following the announcement, SHIB gained 7.04% and even reclaimed the crucial support line of $0.000008, which brings $SHIB back to June 24th levels.
During that time, the famous canine coin was rejected at mid resistance line before erasing a zero in its market price. However, it’s also important to note that Shiba Inu’s bull run in June started from $0.00000650, a yearly low for the canine cryptocurrency. With the scales tipped in favor of bulls, a lot will depend on the launch of the Shibarium mainnet, slated for August.
On the Flipside
- The on-chain signals indicate a neutral net network growth and slightly bearish concentration.
- Ultimately, this means that the largest holders are cautious.
- However, SHIB is still the most popular asset by dollar value among the TOP 100 Ethereum whales.
