Shiba Inu (SHIB) eyes 100% rally: Key levels to watch for long-term breakout

Meme cryptocurrency Shiba Inu ( SHIB ) is experiencing a short-term price correction. However, technical indicators suggest that the token may be gearing up for a rebound, with analysts pinpointing critical levels that could support a potential upward surge. SHIB one-week price chart. Source: Finbold At the time of writing, Shiba Inu is trading at $0.00002173, recording a 0.72% decline over the past week and extending its monthly losses to over 19%. Despite the recent pullback, the token remains up by an impressive 110% year-to-date, showcasing its resilience amid broader market fluctuations. Technical analysis and key levels to watch According to the analysis by Rose Premium Signals , SHIB’s price action is currently testing critical support levels that have historically preceded upward surges. Currently trading at $0.00002173, SHIB has slipped below the 0.618 Fibonacci retracement level at $0.00002230, signaling persistent bearish pressure. However, the 0.786 Fibonacci retracement level at $0.00002170 now serves as a crucial support zone, potentially acting as a springboard for a rebound. SHIB price analysis chart. Source: Rose Premium Signals / X If SHIB manages to hold above $0.00002170 and reclaim the $0.00002230 level, it could pave the way for a recovery targeting the short-term resistance at $0.00003265. Beyond this, the token faces intermediate resistance at $0.00003870, with a long-term bullish target at $0.00004349, marking a potential 100% surge from current levels if bullish momentum sustains. On the flip side, a failure to hold the support at $0.00002170 may expose the token to further downside risks. Adding to the optimism surrounding Shiba Inu, analyst Javon Marks has also emphasized the token’s bullish technical setup, predicting it could climb to $0.000081 under favorable conditions. Such a rally would represent a 3.33-fold increase, translating to an impressive 234% gain from its current levels, as reported by Finbold. Ecosystem developments drive optimism Shiba Inu’s prospects are not solely tied to technical indicators but also to its network-specific developments that could catalyze future growth. The network’s layer-two scaling solution, Shibarium, has proven to be a game-changer, achieving significant milestones since its launch last summer. On 25, Shibarium surpassed 700 million total transactions, highlighting its effectiveness in improving transaction efficiency and adoption across the ecosystem. In addition, Shiba Inu is expanding its market presence with plans to introduce a stablecoin pegged at $0.01. This development will potentially enhance SHIB’s utility within the broader cryptocurrency ecosystem, unlocking new growth opportunities. Furthermore, the upcoming launch of the TREAT token, intended as a reward token within the ecosystem, is expected to provide multifaceted utility, further strengthening the network’s appeal and solidifying its long-term growth potential. AI predictions and investor outlook The bullish outlook is gaining further traction, with AI-driven projections suggesting the token could climb as high as $0.000081 while maintaining a base-case target of $0.000045 if steady growth persists. These projections, coupled with the ongoing ecosystem growth and technical analysis, paint a cautiously optimistic picture for Shiba Inu’s future. That said, investors should approach with caution, balancing the coin’s speculative nature against its evolving ecosystem and growth potential. While SHIB’s ambitious projections and milestones offer significant upside, careful monitoring of key technical levels and broader market conditions remains essential.
