Shiba Inu (SHIB) can be building up steam for a jumbo rally as TradingView analyst Krao projects a He said SHIB will breach $0.001 in the next few months, representing quite a jump from where it is now.
Shiba Inu’s appears somewhat different for the near future despite such a bold projection. By October 13, 2024 their forecast shows a rise of 5.68%, pushing its price up $0.00001337.
Since reaching its all-time high of $0.00008854 back in October 2021, SHIB has been in a multi-month downswing. Krao is still hopeful since first and foremost the meme coin has been kept under control by a declining trendline.
Based on his analysis, the key trendline could start a breakout as early as January or February of 2025 that might see SHIB reach $0.001, but with the bearish sentiment still dominating the market and SHIB locked within a narrow range between $0.000005 and $0.00003, the road ahead is very much unknown.
Technical Hurdles Ahead
While Krao’s longer-term prediction might sound brilliant, the technical indicators suggest some near-term hurdles. currently finds itself caught in a symmetrical triangle on the daily chart. While this setup does often precede a breakout, one way or another, it is not clear in which direction SHIB will go.
The token is currently hovering around $0.00001337 and must break resistance at $0.00001562 for any uptick momentum to be seen. If that fails, SHIB could fall toward support levels of $0.00001154 or even $0.00001028.
Meanwhile, the RSI is close to the neutral line on the monthly chart and exhibits no signs of being overbought or oversold. Although this does leave much room for movement, the bearish sentiment of the market may turn out to be an entirely different story. Investors might, therefore, need to keep a watchful eye out for any signs of volatility, as SHIB’s technical setup is capable of moving either way in the near term.
Shibarium Growth Sparks Optimism
On the bright side, the Shiba Inu ecosystem is growing. For instance, Shibarium, its Layer 2 blockchain is nearing yet another milestone. According to Shibariumscan, on September 5 there were 34 smart contracts deployed through, just short of the three-month high of 36 set back in July.

This expansion is a further reflection of the team’s commitment to building well beyond the price of the token.
