Market Analysis

  • The coin appears to be forming a double bottom pattern, indicating a potential reversal.
  • It bounced off approximately $0.00001028 on April 7, climbing 70% to $0.00001765 by May 12.

Community Response

Lucie, a marketing lead for the Shiba Inu ecosystem, urged the community to remain calm and patient. She emphasized that market fluctuations are expected and advised holding through downturns for potential future gains.

Investors should monitor price action, whale movements, and overall crypto market sentiment before making decisions. If Shiba Inu dips below the $0.000010 support, further declines could occur.
