Shiba Inu Price Review: What Do the Charts Say?

Analysing Shiba Inu price charts, we see a short-term rising wedge pattern, which is generally considered a bearish formation in technical analysis. This pattern is formed as the price consolidates upwards within a converging range defined by two upward-sloping trend lines. The rising wedge is nearing its conclusion, suggesting a potential downside breakout evidenced by the latest series of candle stick patterns.

On the other hand, the volume oscillator shows a decrease of 29.01%, indicating a reduction in trading volume as the wedge developed. This typically supports the bearish interpretation of the rising wedge, as declining volume often accompanies price rises within this pattern, suggesting weakening buying pressure. The Money Flow Index, which is at 23.92, is in the lower range, indicating that SHIB could be approaching oversold conditions. This usually suggests a potential reversal or pause in selling pressure. However, in the context of the rising wedge, it could also mean that the price might stabilize temporarily before continuing its potential downward trajectory.
