An analyst has explained how Shiba Inu could kickstart a new rally to this price target if it can break through the $0.000025 resistance level.

Shiba Inu Is Currently Trying To Break Past The $0.000025 Resistance

In a new post on X, analyst Ali Martinez has discussed a pattern that has been forming in the SHIB price recently. Below is the chart shared by the analyst that depicts the technical analysis (TA) pattern in question.

As is visible in the graph, Shiba Inu has been consolidating inside a bull pennant recently. A pennant is a pattern that consists of three parts: a pole, a triangular consolidation channel, and the succeeding breakout. The ‘pole’ is made up of an initial sharp uptrend or downtrend in the coin’s price. In the context of the current topic, a bull pennant is of relevance, so the pole corresponds to the former type of trend.

The consolidation channel that succeeds the pole (the region that’s actually the ‘pennant’) has the asset move back and forth between two converging trendlines. The upper level of the channel generally provides resistance, while the lower one supports. A break out of either of these lines can imply a continuation of trend in that direction. The likelihood of a breakout taking place naturally goes up the closer the asset gets to the apex of the pattern.

From the chart, it’s apparent that Shiba Inu has been closing in on the converging point of this bull pennant recently, implying that a break could take place soon.

In the scenario that this breakout happens towards the upside, it’s possible that the resulting uptrend would last for a similar length as the pole. If so, SHIB would rise to the $0.000037 mark. Such a rally would imply an increase of more than 53% from the current price of the meme coin. However, Shiba Inu must clear one major obstacle for the run to occur: the $0.000025 level.

Not only does this level roughly coincide with the upper line of the pennant, it also hosts a major on-chain demand zone. As Martinez has pointed out in another X post, around 40,000 addresses purchased a total of 54.6 trillion tokens of the asset around an average price of $0.000025.

Investors who bought their coins around this level would naturally be holding them at a loss right now. As such, it’s possible that when the SHIB price retests this level, some of these holders will decide to sell, fearing that their holdings will dip into loss again in the future.

This potential selling can increase the resistance that Shiba Inu would encounter when trying to break past this mark.

SHIB Price

At the time of writing, Shiba Inu is trading around $0.000024, down almost 4% over the last week.

Keshav is currently a senior writer at NewsBTC and has been attached to the website since June 14, 2021.

Keshav has been writing for many years, first as a hobbyist and later as a freelancer. He has experience working in a variety of niches, even fiction at one point, but the cryptocurrency industry has been the longest he has been attached to.

In terms of official educational qualifications, Keshav holds a bachelor’s degree in Physics from one of the premier institutes of India, the University of Delhi (DU). He started the degree with an aim of eventually making a career in Physics, but the onset of COVID led to a shift in plans. The virus meant that the college classes had to be delivered in the online-mode and with it came free time for him to explore other passions.

Initially only seeking to make some beer money, Keshav unexpectedly landed clients offering real projects, after which there was no looking back. Writing was something he had always enjoyed and to be able to do it for a living was like a dream come true.

Keshav completed his Physics degree in 2022 and has been focusing on his writing career since, but that doesn’t mean his passion for Physics has ended. He eventually plans to re-enter university to obtain a masters degree in the same field, but perhaps only to satiate his own interest rather than for using it as a means to find employment..

Keshav has found blockchain and its concepts fascinating ever since he started going down the rabbit-hole back in 2020. On-chain analysis in particular has been something he likes to research more about, which is why his NewsBTC pieces tend to involve it in some form.

Being of the science background, Keshav likes if concepts are clear and consistent, so he generally explains the indicators he talks about in a bit of detail so that the readers can perhaps come out having understood and learnt something new.

As for hobbies, Keshav is super into football, anime, and videogames. He enjoys football not only as a watcher, but also as a player. For games, Keshav generally tends towards enjoying singleplayer adventures, with EA FC (formerly FIFA) being the only online game he is active in. Though, perhaps due to being ultra-focused on the game, he is today a semi-pro on the EA FC scene, regularly participating in tournaments and sometimes even taking back prize money.

Because of his enthusiasm for anime and games, he also self-learned Japanese along the way to consume some of the untranslated gems out there. The skill didn’t merely remain as just a hobby, either, as he put it to productive use during his exploration for small-time gigs at the start of COVID, fulfilling a couple of Japanese-to-English translation jobs.

Keshav is also big into fitness, with agility and acceleration-related workouts making a big part of his program due to the relevance they have in football. On top of that, he also has a more traditional strength based program for the gym, which he does to maintain an overall fitness level of his body.
