Shiba Inu, the popular cryptocurrency, has recently broken below a bullish pennant that had formed on the 6-hour timeframe, sparking concerns about its ability to recover and reach its initial target of $0.0000348.
The ongoing downtrend in the crypto market, which began on April 8, has continued for over a week now, resulting in significant declines in cryptocurrency prices. Shiba Inu, along with other altcoins, has been negatively affected, dropping below crucial support levels and currently trading at $0.000022.
Earlier this month, market analyst MBM Crypto confirmed that Shiba Inu had formed a bullish pennant on the 6-hour chart after its decline from $0.000045 in March. This pennant had held for five weeks without any breakout to either side.
During his analysis, the analyst suggested that if Shiba Inu managed to push towards $0.0000301, it would be a good opportunity for investors to enter the market, as this price would serve as a launchpad for a breach above the upper trendline. He set three modest price targets for market participants to expect after this breach, with the first target at $0.00003130, the second at $0.00003280, and the third at the March 14 high of $0.0000348.
However, as the broader market experienced increased bearish pressure, Shiba Inu faced more selling, eventually breaking below the pennant when it dropped below $0.000026 on April 12.
The analyst had anticipated a support zone between $0.00002446 and $0.00002670, which he believed would prevent further declines in the event of a downward breakout. However, SHIB breached below this support zone during the market downturn, falling to $0.000022.
The recent drop below the bull pennant and the crucial support zone has raised doubts about Shiba Inu’s ability to reach its target of $0.0000348. Despite this setback, there is still potential for SHIB to recover to the $0.000034 territory, depending on when the broader market rebounds.
Chart data indicates that SHIB is currently undervalued, with its CCI at -118.30 and RSI at 39.51 on the daily timeframe. This suggests that there is room for potential growth. Additionally, there has been a resurgence of interest in Shiba Inu, as evidenced by a significant surge in Open Interest.
Many industry commentators expect Shiba Inu to make a recovery from these lows, with some projecting price targets as high as $0.0001. Some analysts even believe that SHIB could surpass this level and reach $0.001 after the Bitcoin halving. At the time of reporting, SHIB is trading at $0.00002225.
