Key Takeaways
The Shiba Inu (SHIB) price has experienced significant price swings in 2023, starting with a strong surge before entering a correction phase. Recently, SHIB has shown signs of a potential starting bull phase, with key resistance levels being broken.
On March 4, Shiba Inu surged to $0.000045, its highest price since November 2021, marking a 400% increase from its February low.
However, by April 13, it retraced 60% to $0.000018, followed by a 52% rebound at the 0.618 Fibonacci level. Despite this bounce, bearish trends continued.
By May 29, SHIB hit $0.000029 before a downturn brought it to a low of $0.000012 on July 5.
Although it quickly bounced back with a 37% increase, a short-lived brief recovery led to a lower low of $0.000010 on August 5, with the daily chart RSI entering oversold territory.
The price swiftly rebounded to close at $0.000012, acting as horizontal support on Sept. 6. Positive movement from Sept. 18 resulted in a breakout above the descending channel and a breakout above its horizontal range on 26.
SHIB reached a high of $0.000020 and remains on an upward trajectory, likely having started a new bullish phase.
The hourly chart suggests that SHIB may have started an uptrend on Sept. 6, with two sub-waves forming and the price developing its wave 3 of the higher degree count. A further move to the 1.618 Fibonacci level at $0.000021 is needed to validate this scenario, but that might not happen immediately.
Because the price has overextended, we might see an immediate pullback to $0.000017 as wave 4 of a lower degree count before one more high brings SHIB to the 1.618 Fib extension.
Should the price action develop this way, we will get a strong confirmation of the larger starting uptrend. More upside is expected in October, with its next likely target at the $0.000025 area.
