This also confirms the bearish sentiment as the indicator moves downwards. SHIB’s Moving Average Convergence/Divergence (MACD) is above its signal line but shows a negative value, and the histogram bars are fading, hinting at a bearish trend. These indicators imply that SHIB will likely continue in the bearish phase till the bulls rally again. SHIB is approaching the 38.2% Fibonacci level ($0.00000839), its closest support level. Hopefully, if SHIB doesn’t fall below that support level, it can rally to the 23.6% Fib level ($0.00000869), its nearest resistance level. A move above the $0.00000869 resistance level will mean a price recovery for SHIB.
