Realistic or not, here’s SHIB’s market cap in BTC’s terms

The price action has been bearish in the past four days and losses of just over 7% were inflicted. On the other hand, Shiba Inu was trading above a significant demand zone. We may see another bounce to the $0.00000846 level next week.

Shiba Inu has a short-term bearish market structure

On the 4-hour and lower timeframe charts, SHIB has a bearish structure. It has been in a downtrend in the past five days after the rejection from the $0.00000846 resistance. There was a support level at $0.00000776 that has served well in the past ten days.

Further south, there was a bullish order block from the daily chart that spanned from $0.000007-$0.0000076. This area was highlighted in cyan and has been tested twice in the past two weeks. Both instances saw a bounce- but the second one was weaker than the first.

This implied the possibility that the Shiba Inu bulls were tiring. The OBV has been in a resolute downtrend since mid-August and recovery was not initiated. The RSI also showed strong downward momentum.

The Open Interest saw a slight uptick- was this enough evidence to show market sentiment was beginning to sway?

On 31 August and 1 September, the Open Interest fell lower alongside prices. This was a sign of discouraged longs and bearish sentiment. It has not turned around by a significant amount, but the OI did see a minor bounce on 3 September.

MobChart data showed that there was limit buy orders for close to 133 billion SHIB in the $0.0000078-$0.0000077 region. This amounted to $1.04 million and was a notable wall of buyers.

A test of this region could see bearish pressure weaken and another bounce in prices. It was unclear if Shiba Inu can initiate a short-term uptrend, but scalpers can target the $0.0000084 level to take profit on their longs in the scenario of a bounce from $0.0000077.
