Moving Averages
On the 15-minute chart, the 20-period MA closely followed the price action, staying below the 50-period MA, reinforcing bullish momentum. On the daily chart, the 50-period MA crossed above the 100-period MA in the prior week, suggesting a broader bullish bias.
MACD & RSI
The MACD crossed into positive territory midday and remained strong through the close, with a histogram that expanded significantly. RSI reached overbought territory in the final hours, peaking at 72, suggesting a potential near-term correction.
Bollinger Bands
Volatility increased as the Bollinger Band width expanded during the breakout phase. Price closed just below the upper band, indicating strong momentum but also a potential near-term reversal risk if buyers begin to fade.
Volume & Turnover
Volume spiked during the breakout, with the largest 15-minute volume occurring at 20:30 ET (37.3 billion SHIB). Notional turnover increased in tandem with price, confirming strength in the move. No major divergence between price and volume was observed.
Fibonacci Retracements
Recent 15-minute swings saw SHIBUSDT retest the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level at $0.00001358 before breaking out. On the daily chart, the 38.2% retracement level at $0.00001360 appears to act as a psychological threshold for near-term buyers.
Looking ahead, SHIBUSDT may face consolidation pressure near $0.00001365–$0.00001370, with a possible pullback to test $0.00001350 if the overbought RSI triggers profit-taking. Investors should watch for a break below $0.00001350 for a potential shift in momentum.
