Over the past 24 hours, SHIB price has increased by 25.85%, rising from a low of $0.00002213 to an intraday high of $0.00002785. At the time of writing, the memecoin was priced at $0.00002502—having a daily trading volume of $6.05 billion—skyrocketed by 248% in the last 24 hours. While its price has slightly pulled back, it remains well above the crucial support level of $0.0000235.

According to the SHIB/USDT trading pair on the daily price chart, the Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) is at 0.22, signaling strong buying pressure. A CMF value above 0.20 shows significant accumulation, suggesting that investors are actively buying, which may support a bullish trend

Further, the RSI stands at 73.15, indicating SHIB is in the overbought zone. An RSI above 70 often suggests that the asset might be overvalued, signaling a potential pullback or correction. However, if the bullish momentum is strong, SHIB could sustain its uptrend despite being overbought. Additionally, the memecoin’s price is firmly above the 50-day simple moving average (SMA). 

Moreover, the 50-day MA is approaching a crossover above the 200-day MA, where SHIB recently crossed it, indicating a potential bullish reversal. This crossover, often called a “golden cross,” follows a bearish “death cross” back in July, which led SHIB into a downtrend.

If this golden cross holds, SHIB may climb back toward its yearly high of $0.0004550. However, it first faces a key resistance level at $0.000030. At this level, a correction could happen and send the crypto price down to $0.00001687 or even $0.00001070 if bearish pressure increases.
