Shiba Inu (SHIB) is poised for a 38% breakout

The Shiba Inu gives a strong signal that the price is on the verge of breaking out of the consolidation phase that has been going on since early February. It has formed an ascending triangle on the daily chart since March 10.

An ascending triangle is one of the continuation patterns and shows the continuation of the initial trend after consolidation. The trend was the price action that SHIB started at $0.00000808 on January 1st and pushed the price to $0.00001589 (+97%) on February 4th.

After SHIB reached this internal high, its price dropped to $0.00000958 on March 10. But since then it has risen to higher levels. At the same time, the Shiba Inu price showed a flat resistance level on the upper border, as is characteristic of the ascending triangle pattern.

This price level is $0.00001151 for SHIB. The Bulls have failed to beat this formidable opposition in eight attempts since the start of March. However, at the time of writing, SHIB made a new test and was trading just above the resistance line at $0.00001161 after yesterday’s daily close.

What’s next for SHIB?

If SHIB can close above the $0.00001151 resistance today and turn it into support, it could mean that the high price area from early February is the next possible price target. Therefore, a price increase of at least 38% (up to $0.00001591) seems likely.

In other words, Shiba Inu can continue the high trend that started in early January. After two months of consolidation, the bulls could target $0.00001787, the August 14, 2022 high in the medium term. This will allow a price increase of more than 55% compared to the current price.

Altcoin whales are jumping on the Shiba Inu train after breaking news

One reason for the recent increase in Shiba Inu prices may be the new interest from whalers. Data from Etherscan.io shows that the young whale has made its first SHIB purchase, purchasing 3.484 trillion SHIB worth approximately $39.93 million. However, the unknown investor suddenly became the 29th owner of SHIB.

New Shiba Inu news has surfaced via an announcement from developer Shytoshi Kusama. In a recent Telegraph interview, he revealed that the launch of ShibaSwap 2.0 could be as soon as in the coming weeks and months.
