While the Shiba Inu price may be trading inside a descending wedge, its support line (dashed) still needs to be validated sufficient times.

Shiba Inu Breakout – Will it Kickstart Reversal?

The daily timeframe analysis gives a bullish reading. The SHIB price had fallen inside a descending parallel channel since August 14.

These channels usually involve corrective actions, suggesting that the altcoin will experience a breakout soon.

As SHIB trades within this channel, its price has touched both the support (green) and resistance (red) trendlines. After five unsuccessful attempts at a breakout, SHIB finally moved above the trendline on October 22.

Combined with the RSI increasing above 50, this is a sign that the Shiba Inu breakout is legitimate and can lead to a further increase.

If the upward movement continues, the Shiba Inu price can increase by 30% and reach the next resistance at $0.0000095. The long-term descending resistance trendline and the 0.618 Fib retracement resistance level create the resistance.

Despite this bullish SHIB price prediction, falling below the channel’s resistance trendline will invalidate the breakout. A 16% drop to the $0.0000060 area will be expected in that case.
