The profit-taking gained traction in today's session, with Shiba Inu slipping from $0.00001933 to reach lows of $0.000018 within a matter of hours.
As of now, eyes are on Shiba Inu's next support to see if will hold, which would determine where the SHIB price trends next.
Potential scenarios
Two potential scenarios are likely. If the aforementioned support range holds, SHIB could see a rebound, potentially extending its prior rally. In this scenario, Shiba Inu might attempt $0.00002 and even $0.000028.
On the other hand, if Shiba Inu extends its current drop and, in the event that this support level fails, Shiba Inu might resort to range trading within its daily moving averages of 50 and 200, at $0.00001899 and $0.00001595.
