Altcoins are suffering across the board on Tuesday, with Shiba Inu price not spared from the ongoing gains trimming in the market. After a 4.1% dip according to to market data from CoinGecko, SHIB is trading at $0.00000821.
Although the meme coin’s volume shot up by 15% to $141 million, a bigger chunk of it has been bearish with SHIB’s market cap falling by 4.5%.
Shiba Inu Price Prediction: The End of The Road For The Bulls?
When Shiba Inu price started the campaign for a bullish outlook in October, investors hoped for highs above $0.00001. The initial breakout was remarkably strong, with SHIB climbing above all three applied MAs—the 50-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) (red), the 100-day EMA (blue), and the 200-day EMA (purple).
A subsequent move above the key resistance/support at $0.000008 fuelled the uptrend further and propelled SHIB toward $0.0001. The expected breakout above this psychological resistance never materialised with Shiba Inu bulls bowing to selling pressure at $0.0000096.

Since November 11, Shiba Inu price has continued to plummet such that support at $0.000008 is at the risk of crumbling. On the upside, SHIB faces resistance at the 200-day EMA. Reclaiming support above this MA is crucial for the resumption of the uptrend.
The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) confirms the bearish outlook following a sell signal. Such a call to traders to short Shiba Inu occurred when the blue MACD line crossed below the red signal line.
As the MACD drops toward the neutral area, the path with the least resistance could stick downwards.
There’s the possibility of a rebound happening at the confluence support formed by the 50-day EMA and the 100-day EMA around $0.000008. However, if this support is lost, Shiba Inu price might plunge to sweep liquidity around $0.00000773, a level of interest to the bulls, highlighted by the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement level.
A sweep through fresh liquidity created by investors buying the dip could restart the uptrend. Some of the key levels traders may want to keep an eye on as SHIB recovers include the 200-day EMA resistance around $0.00000837, the multi-month descending trendline coinciding with the 50% Fibonacci retracement, and the pivotal resistance at $0.00001.
