Do not be deceived

Following a tumultuous close to the 2022 trading year, SHIB’s value has rallied tremendously since the year began. According to data from CoinMarketCap, the meme coin’s price has grown by 48% since 1 January. At its current price of $0.00001203, the altcoin traded at its pre-FTX collapse level. 

An assessment of SHIB’s performance on the daily chart revealed that the meme coin had seen increased demand in the past few weeks, causing coin accumulation to rally to levels last since before FTX’s fallout in November 2022.

As of this writing, SHIB’s Relative Strength Index (RSI) was in an uptrend at 68.62. Likewise, its Money Flow Index (MFI) was 73.59. These indicators have been in an uptrend since the year started, indicating that coin accumulation has since grown.

Although the price of the altcoin had been on the rise, an assessment of SHIB’s Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) showed that the dynamic line (green) embarked on a downtrend since 17 January.

This created a bearish divergence which often hints at a sell signal. A CMF sell-signal presents itself when an asset’s price action develops a higher high into overbought zones, with the CMF diverging with a lower high and beginning to fall. 

The bearish divergence in SHIB’s market showed that the underlying market conditions did not support the asset’s price increase, and a potential reversal was imminent. 

A look at the alt’s AROON indicator confirmed the weakness of the bullish trend in the current SHIB market. At press time, the Aroon Up line was spotted at 28.57%.

Typically, when the Aroon Up line is close to zero, the uptrend is weak, and the most recent high was reached a long time ago. This is usually taken as an indication of a potential trend reversal.
