Key Takeaways
Shiba Inu (SHIB) continues to make breakout attempts, but each rally has struggled to hold momentum. This time, the token has managed to reclaim $0.000013, which aligns with the broader crypto market rebound.
However, despite the recovery, SHIB’s price will likely remain range-bound. Here’s why the memecoin may face difficulty sustaining a move higher.
Although SHIB’s price recently bounced off its local low, the 4-hour chart still paints a bearish picture. The Exponential Moving Averages (EMA) have formed a death cross, with the 20 EMA (blue) sliding below the 50 EMA (orange).
This crossover typically signals weakening momentum and raises the risk of continued range-bound movement unless buyers step in to reverse the trend.
However, by the look of things, SHIB might struggle to see the price consistently extend higher. SHIB continues to struggle due to the overhead resistance at the supply zone, which is nearly $0.000014.
Each attempt to break above this level has faced heavy selling pressure, keeping the token capped within its current range. There is no clear signal that SHIB will successfully break through this resistance zone.
If the barrier holds, SHIB’s price will likely remain in short-term consolidation, particularly as it trades within a descending parallel channel.

This pattern typically signals sustained pressure from sellers, keeping the token trapped in a tight range until a breakout.
The daily chart setup reinforces the bearish tone already seen on the 4-hour timeframe. SHIB’s price remains trapped within a symmetrical triangle, a pattern that reflects uncertainty and consolidation as buyers and sellers battle for control.
At the same time, the Awesome Oscillator (AO) has slipped into negative territory, confirming bearish momentum. A negative AO reading suggests that short-term price action is losing steam against longer-term averages, tilting sentiment in favor of sellers.
If this weakness persists, SHIB may continue to drift sideways or retest the lower support level.
Only a decisive flip of the AO back into positive territory — ideally accompanied by a breakout above the upper boundary of the pattern — would signal that bulls are regaining control and a sustainable rally could begin.
Given the current setup, a breakout looks unlikely, meaning SHIB’s price could slip below $0.000010 in the near term.
However, if momentum unexpectedly shifts in favor of the bulls, this bearish outlook may not materialize.

In that case, SHIB could break above the upper trendline of its symmetrical triangle, opening the door for a rebound.
A successful breakout could see the token bounce toward $0.000019, marking a strong recovery from its recent consolidation.
