Shiba Inu price continues to consolidate around a key level, but two unique chart patterns point to big a move ahead. If the pattern successfull breaks out SHIB could almost double in value.
Technicals Hint Shiba Inu Price Could Double Soon
The daily chart shows that the SHIB price has formed three extremely rare patterns, that point to more upside in the coming weeks. First, the coin formed a golden cross chart pattern on October 20th as the 200-day and 50-day Weighted Moving Averages (WMA) crossed each other. The WMA is often seen as a better type of moving average because it focuses on recent data.
Second, the SHIB price has also formed a bullish pennant pattern, which is characterized by a long flagpole and a symmetrical triangle. This flagpole happened between November 4 and 12. In most cases, a bullish breakout happens when the two triangles near their confluence levels, which is about to happen.
The other pattern is a cup and handle, which has been forming since the coin peaked at $0.000030 on May 29. This pattern is made up of two peaks and a rounded bottom, followed by a consolidation or a pullback. The handle section has coincided with the triangle section of the bullish pennant.
One way to estimate the next target is to measure the distance between the upper and lower sides of the cup pattern. In this case, the distance was about 170%. As such, a conservative estimate is that the value of SHIB could double from the current level. For that to happen, it needs to rise to the key resistance point at $0.000045, 100% above the current level. It also ought to flip the year-to-date high of $0.000045 into a support.
On the flip side, a drop below the support at $0.000020, its October 29 high, will invalidate the bullish view. Such a move could push SHIB down to $0.000015.
SHIB Burn Rate Slips But Upward Trajectory Remains
A key fundamental catalyst for Shiba Inu price is its burn rate, where millions of tokens are placed in an inaccessible wallet. Data by Shiburn shows that the burn rate dropped by 96% in the last 24 hours to 352,413.
Still, despite this, the trend has been accelerating in the past few months. Over 410 trillion Shiba tokens have been burned, bringing the total tokens in circulation at 583 trillion. Shiba Inu burns happen voluntarily and from the fees collected in its ecosystem of platforms like ShibaSwap and Shibarium.
The other potential catalyst for the Shiba Inu price is the ongoing crypto bull run. If Bitcoin pierces the key resistance at $100,000, there are chances that other altcoins will continue their bullish breakout.
