Shiba Inu price comes close to knocking off resistance at $0.00001 but stalls at $0.0000096 due to the formation of a double-top pattern.

The second-leading meme coin Shiba Inu rallied alongside other crypto assets led by Bitcoin’s climb to $42,000 for the first since May 2022. Shiba Inu price exploded towards the psychological resistance at $0.00001 but stalled at $0.0000096.
Despite a correction following swiftly to $0.00000894, SHIB price is holding 5.7% gains accrued in the last 24 hours on top of the cumulative 14.2% growth in 30 days, data by CoinGecko shows.
Shiba Inu Price Prediction: SHIB Reacts To Double-Top Formation
The formation of a double-top pattern in the four-hour time frame quickly changed the short-term outlook for Shiba Inu, resulting in a trend correction. As observed in the chart below, sellers have the upper hand for now which means that declines could extend if bulls fail to hold onto a higher support preferably at the 20 Exponential Moving Average (EMA) (blue).
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) paints a grim picture at the moment following its retreat from highs around 80 in the overbought area into the neutral zone at 58.
It is possible that a trend reversal will follow momentarily but first the RSI must successfully retest the ascending trendline.
Although a trend reversal seems imminent, traders may want to prepare for more dips below the 20 EMA support at $0.0000089. In that case, the 50 EMA (red) coinciding with the descending trendline and the 200 EMA at $0.0000083 will come in handy.
Price corrections are not necessarily a bad thing, especially in bull markets, they allow sidelined investors to seek exposure to SHIB while traders dollar-cost average to maximize gains as the uptrend resumes.
