Amid the confusing market sentiment, Shiba Inu (SHIB), the popular meme coin is poised for a notable price decline as it has formed a bearish price action pattern on its daily chart. This negative sentiment extends across the cryptocurrency landscape including Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and Solana (SOL).
Shiba Inu Technical Analysis and Upcoming Levels
According to CoinPedia’s technical analysis, SHIB appears bearish as it has broken down from a symmetrical triangle price action pattern on the daily time frame. This breakdown has shifted market sentiment toward a downtrend.

However, if the meme coin breaches and closes a daily candle below the 200 EMA, there is a strong possibility of a 15% decline, targeting the $0.000015 level in the coming days.
