Amidst a broader market rally and optimistic sentiments surrounding Shibarium, Shiba Inu has experienced a 21% surge over the past two weeks, aiming to eliminate one zero, fueled by Shibarium’s impressive 7.84 million daily transactions.
Shiba Inu faced bearish pressure two months ago, plummeting to a disheartening low of $0.00000661 on Oct. 19. Despite a recent 5-day consolidation range between $0.00000802 and $0.00000866, the consolidation phase concluded in November. Initiating a fresh rally in December, SHIB spiked 16.87%, reaching $0.00000949 on Dec. 3, but faced resistance at the $0.00000940 territory.
Even in the face of resistance, SHIB maintained support above the psychological threshold of $0.000009. The aspiration to shed a zero and reach the $0.00001 price point hinges on retaining this support, with SHIB looking to leverage this zone as a launchpad.
