The increasing competition for meme coins and the general weakness in investor appetite have created a new environment. After peaking this year, BTC has struggled to gather the desired demand above $70,000, and fluctuations in the ETF channel are also complicating overall market conditions. So, what is the current situation with Shiba Coin? What can investors expect?
Shiba Inu (SHIB)
Despite the PCE data coming in below expectations and the first Fed rate cut in 19 days, interest in altcoins remains low. BTC fell below $58,000 again, and Shiba Coin investors continue to sell. The Realized Loss indicator for investors is climbing. The indicator, which peaked in August, last saw these levels during the July decline.
Significant realized losses increase the selling appetite among investors. The strengthening downward trend for Shiba Coin can be easily confirmed with the RSI. SHIB, which has remained below the neutral zone for a long time, shows that the appetite among investors has long supported the decline.
PEPE Coin and FLOKI, even newer and more interesting meme coins, are also showing weakness, making the current situation of Shiba Coin unsurprising. This causes every upward attempt by BTC to be seen as a selling opportunity for assets like Shiba Coin.
At the time of writing, BTC is at $58,080 and reached its daily low at $57,946. Moreover, BTC is starting the weekend in a bad state, notorious for its lack of volume on weekends.
Shiba Coin Price Prediction
Analysts are generally not optimistic about Shiba Coin’s performance. In the last 4 weeks, the altcoin has only managed to break the $0.00001462 resistance once and may continue to show weakness below the key region. If sales accelerate in the coming days, the consolidation in the resistance area with the $0.0000128 support could pave the way for larger losses.
So, if September starts better than feared and we see a general recovery in appetite for altcoins, what levels can Shiba Coin investors expect? In an optimistic scenario, we could see the $0.0000169 level tested with resistance above closures. Strong closures above this level could indicate the end of the downtrend in the short term.
