SHIB/USD Technical Analysis Shows Critical Support Battle

[[DHIB/USD-graph]]

 

SHIB is fighting at the important $0.0000127 support level, which has been a good place for prices to bounce back in the past. This support level caused rallies from $0.000029 to $0.000033 in December 2024 and from $0.00001030 to $0.00001767 in mid-May 2025.

Key Technical Levels

  • Critical Support: $0.0000127
  • Immediate Resistance: $0.00001345
  • Major Resistance: $0.00001387 (Daily SMA 50)
  • Long-term Target: $0.00001764 (Daily SMA 200)

The RSI is at 42, which is above the oversold level, which could mean that the market is about to bounce back. Even though the 20-EMA crossed below the 50-EMA, which is a bearish sign, moderate volume shows that there isn’t too much pressure on the sell side.

Shiba Inu Ecosystem Shows Mixed Signals

The number of daily transactions on Shibarium fell from millions in mid-May to less than 75,000 in June. The price of the BONE token fell 7% to $0.266. Long-term holders, on the other hand, grew by 0.94% over the past year, which shows that serious investors are becoming more confident even though activity in the ecosystem has slowed down.

Shiba Inu Price Prediction: Analysts Target 200% Rally

Whale, even though things aren’t going well right now. Guru says that the $0.000012 level could be a good place to start a “crazy pump next week” that could reach $0.00004, which would be a 200% increase. This was the last time SHIB reached this level, which was during the meme coin craze in March 2024.

Analysts say that if resistance breaks, the price could rise further toward $0.0001, which could set new all-time highs.

Critical Week Ahead

SHIB is entering a defining time with big whale movements and testing of technical support that could lead to big price changes. To gain momentum toward $0.00001345 barrier, bulls need the coin to stay above $0.0000127 support.

If the price breaks over $0.00001387, it could confirm bullish predictions. If it doesn’t hold support, it could test lower areas around $0.00001. With open interest in futures contracts dropping 7% on Bybit and 3% on Binance, the stage is set for big changes once the direction becomes clear.
