- SHIB’s higher timeframe market structure and price trend were in bearish favor.
- The price can climb another 15% this week.
Shiba Inu [SHIB] managed to climb past a short-term range and has gained 15% since the low it posted on Friday the 12th of July.
In doing so, it has outperformed Pepe [PEPE] in the short-term, and its on-chain metrics signaled that more gains were likely.
The week’s trend sometimes gets established on Mondays. What is the SHIB price prediction, and should traders anticipate a strong bullish run soon?

The recent report highlighted the short-term bullish metrics of SHIB and how they generated a buy signal. On the 6-hour chart, a session close above the range highs at $0.000017 has occurred.
The Awesome Oscillator also noted a bullish crossover and was rising higher to reflect the growing upward momentum. The CMF has been above +0.04 over the past week, a sign that buying pressure was consistent.
This concerted effort has begun to pay dividends. To the north, the $0.00002-$0.000021 supply zone was the immediate bullish target.
The higher timeframe charts such as daily and weekly showed that the memecoin has not bucked the gradual downtrend it has been on since April.
