|- Shiba Inu’s price retraces after testing its weekly resistance level.

Shiba Inu (SHIB) trades slightly higher, around $0.000024, on Thursday after declining more than 5% the previous week. SHIB’s on-chain metrics project a bullish outlook as holders accumulate recent dips, and dormant wallets are on the move, all pointing to a recovery in the cards.
Shiba Inu investors accumulate on the dips
Shiba Inu price faces a corrective pullback after surging more than 50% in early November. However, its on-chain metrics suggest a bullish outlook ahead. Santiment’s exchange outflow data shows a massive spike, indicating that 1.67 trillion SHIB worth nearly $41 million has been withdrawn from exchanges. Historically, when SHIB experienced a similar spike in exchange outflow, the meme coin rallied massively.

Santiment’s Age Consumed index also aligns with the bullish outlook. Spikes in this index suggest dormant tokens (tokens stored in wallets for a long time) are in motion and can be used to spot short-term local tops or bottoms.
For Shiba Inu, history shows that the spikes were followed by a rally in meme coin prices. The most recent uptick on November 14 also forecasted that SHIB was ready for an uptrend.

Shiba Inu Price Forecast: A recovery on the cards
Shiba Inu price declined more than 5% after facing resistance around its weekly level of $0.000028 in the second week of November. The weekly resistance at $0.000028 coincides with the 50% price retracement level ( drawn from a March high of $0.000045 to an August low of $0.000010) at $0.000028, making it a key resistance zone. As of this week, the pullback continues, trading at around $0.000023.
If Shiba Inu breaks and closes above $0.000028, it will rally to retest its end-March weekly high of $0.000032.
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) on the weekly chart reads 59, above its neutral level of 50, indicating the bullish momentum is gaining traction.
