Shiba Inu's 30% February Slump: Mixed Signals Point to Potential Reversal
1min read Shiba Inu (SHIB) has experienced a 30% decline in February, with its market cap now standing at $8.25 billion. Despite this downturn, the cryptocurrency's technical indicators are showing mixed signals, suggesting a potential trend reversal. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) has recovered from oversold levels, and the BBTrend has turned positive, indicating a potential shift in buying interest. However, the Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) remain in a bearish setup, showing that SHIB is still facing challenges in establishing a strong uptrend.
SHIB's RSI is currently at 34.5, after dipping to 21.6 a few hours ago. This marks a sharp decline from 56.5 just two days ago.
