Shiba Inu fell more than 30% during last week’s dramatic crash as Bitcoin slipped under the $29,000 mark. The token was on the verge of adding a ‘zero’ in the indices but escaped as the market bounced back. Several top coins bled in double digits during last week’s crash wiping away all profits generated this year. The market is yet to stabilize and fears of another dip are looming.
According to the daily chart, Shiba Inu managed to bounce back after testing a support level at $0.000009, which acted as a strong resistance for the asset between July-October 2021. At press time, SHIB was priced at $0.00001234 with an immediate resistance placed at $0.00001734. While the asset was consolidating between the aforementioned resistance and support, the Relative Strength Index or RSI was hovering just above the oversold region. Hence, the likelihood of a near-time price movement was present but the asset might struggle to build considerable bullish momentum.
Additionally, the 50-Moving Average and 100-Moving Average continued to put selling pressure on the asset as the indicators remained above the price movement, underlying a bearish scenario.
