On April 8, the team announced that the first internal build for the P2E version of the game is already out, fixing several existing bugs. The following updates will introduce breeding , a concept similar to the Axie Infinity game.
Despite these positive developments, the SHIB price risks breaking down from its symmetrical triangle pattern, invalidating the bullish wave count in the process.
SHIB Price Prediction: Will Bullish Count Survive?
The daily time frame technical analysis suggests that SHIB is likely in wave four of a five-wave upward movement, which took the shape of a symmetrical triangle. This is the most common pattern in such corrective structures.
Initially, it seemed that SHIB will break out from the triangle, since both the RSI and MACD generated hidden bullish divergences (green). However, the SHIB price is approaching the end of the pattern and has not broken out yet. To the contrary, it is very close to the triangle’s support trend line.
If the SHIB price breaks down from the triangle, it will invalidate the hidden bullish divergences.
So, the future trend’s direction will be determined by whether the memecoin breaks out or down from the triangle. A successful breakout will confirm the beginning of wave five and can lead to a 160% increase to $0.000072.
On the other hand, a breakdown can trigger a drop between the 0.618-0.786 Fib retracement support levels at $0.000016-$0.000022. This will be an average decrease of 30%.
SHIB Price at Make-or-Break Level
The SHIB price is approaching the end of its symmetrical triangle pattern that has existed since March 5. Whether it breaks out or down from it will determine the future trend’s direction.
A breakout can catalyze a rapid increase, marking the beginning of the fifth and final wave of a long-term upward movement. Conversely, a breakdown will indicate the SHIB price is still correcting.
