Shiba Inu eyes over 12% gains
Shiba Inu started its multi-month downward trend after hitting the March 2024 top of $0.00004567. SHIB rallied nearly 21% on Thursday this week. The meme coin is likely primed for further gains and could rally another 12.8% toward its target of $0.00002415, the lower boundary of the Fair Value Gap (FVG) between $0.00002494 and $0.00002415.
SHIB could find support in the FVG between $0.00001576 and $0.00001875 in the event of a correction in the meme coin’s price.
The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator flashes green histogram bars, increasing in sizes, meaning there is rising positive momentum underlying the SHIB price trend. This supports a bullish thesis for Shiba Inu.
