Dog-themed cryptocurrency Shiba Inu (SHIB) is currently at a critical juncture, with 28.35 trillion tokens locked in a tight trading range, and the market is waiting to observe what comes next.
According to IntoTheBlock, 28.35 trillion SHIB are held by 39,870 addresses in the price range between $0.000014 and $0.000015. The cluster of supply in this narrow range suggests a battleground for both bears and bulls.
At press time, SHIB is down 1.53% over the last 24 hours, trading at $0.0000143 amid overall mixed sentiment across the broader crypto market. While Shiba Inu’s price movement has remained relatively muted recently, this consolidation range could act as a launchpad or a breakdown zone, depending on market sentiment.
A decisive break above $0.000015 could trigger fresh bullish momentum, potentially targeting $0.000018, but a drop below $0.000014 could spark additional downward pressure, possibly targeting $0.00001.
What’s expected
Analysts are closely watching to see what comes next for the Shiba Inu price.
