Meme cryptocurrency Shiba Inu ( SHIB ) is witnessing a short-term price correction, but technical indicators suggest that the coin might target new highs. Specifically, SHIB’s TD Sequential indicator flashed a fresh buy signal on its daily chart, raising the possibility of the token targeting new resistance levels in the short term, according to insights shared by prominent cryptocurrency analyst Ali Martinez in an X post on December 24. The TD Sequential is used to identify trend exhaustion and potential reversals. It consists of a series of candlestick patterns, and in Shiba Inu’s case, the formation suggests that the current downtrend may be nearing its end. SHIB price analysis chart.

If buying pressure intensifies, SHIB could aim for the next resistance at $0.000029, corresponding to the 0.236 Fibonacci level. X trading expert Javon Marks also highlighted the bullish sentiment, stating that SHIB’s technical layout indicates the possibility of claiming the $0.000081 level. This would mark a 3.33-fold surge, reflecting a more than 234% climb from its current levels. SHIB price analysis chart.

This pattern was followed by a breakout to the upside, indicating the possibility of further gains. After consolidating, SHIB has begun forming higher lows, showing strong resilience and buyer confidence. Possible reprieve for SHIB after sell-off The bullish outlook may relieve Shiba Inu investors, considering that the meme coin has witnessed sustained trading sessions of losses that have largely mirrored the general cryptocurrency market. At the same time, the current SHIB investors’ profits and losses might offer insights into what to expect from the coin. In this case, data retrieved by Finbold from crypto onchain analysis platform IntoTheBlock on December 25 indicates that 55% of Shiba Inu holders are in profit, 8% are at breakeven, and 37% are at a loss.

Meanwhile, the investors at breakeven might add short-term resistance if they sell as prices rise. Besides the technical outlook, SHIB will be banking on network-specific elements that are likely to spur possible price growth. For instance, the network’s layer-two scaling solution, Shibarium, is taking center stage with notable milestones. On December 25, the platform surpassed 700 million total transactions since its launch last summer, pointing to the rapid adoption of the protocol. The milestone has come with several additional developments, such as a revamped user interface to enhance compatibility with wallets like MetaMask, Coinbase Wallet, and Trust Wallet. Additionally, a hard fork introduced faster block processing and empowered developers, while a refined burning mechanism aims to reduce token supply. SHIB price analysis By press time, SHIB was trading at $0.000022, down 2% in the last 24 hours. The meme coin has plunged almost 10% on the weekly time frame. SHIB seven-day price chart.

The relative strength index (RSI) at 47.31 is neutral, suggesting no overbought or oversold conditions, while moderate volatility (11.38%) hints at stable fluctuations.
