The SHIB uptrend continues
Analyzing Shiba Inu (SHIB) on a daily timeframe revealed a continuous uptrend over the past nine days. As of this writing, SHIB was trading with a slight increase in value, albeit less than 1%.
Also, the consecutive upward movements had propelled the Relative Strength Index (RSI) above the 50 mark. The position of the RSI line showed that SHIB was currently in a bull trend, indicating the influence of the price rise. However, it was yet to surpass its short Moving Average (yellow line), which served as its immediate price resistance level.
