SHIB Continues to Struggle Below its 50-day EMA

The SHIB/USD daily chart shows that the cryptocurrency has been underperforming in recent weeks. SHIB’s technical indicators are negative at the moment, thanks to the losses recorded recently.

SHIB is trading below its 50-day moving average price of $0.000033. The MACD line has been below the neutral zone since November, indicating a strong bearish trend for Shiba Inu.

The RSI of 39 shows that SHIB could soon enter the oversold region if the existing market condition is sustained.

If the bears remain in control, SHIB could lose its first major support level at $0.000022 over the next few hours. In the event of an extended bearish performance, SHIB could trade below the $0.000020 level for the first time since October.

Shiba Inu would need the support of the broader cryptocurrency market to enable it to come out of its ongoing bearish trend.
