Shiba Inu has rebounded by over 19% from its $0.00002081 price point at the beginning of the month. Current price action shows the cryptocurrency might be on its way to performing an interesting price surge in the coming weeks. According to one crypto analyst, SHIB could actually go on a 120% price surge after breaking out of the current consolidation.

Crypto Analyst Says Massive Surge Coming

SHIB kickstarted a price correction immediately after reaching 0.00003556 in early March. Bullish investor sentiment surrounding the meme cryptocurrency at the time quickly changed into a bearish one. This pushed SHIB on a decline that bottomed out at $0.00002117 in the middle of April, indicating a 40% price correction in those two months. Interestingly, this was the worst SHIB price decline since the May 2022 collapse of the Terra ecosystem.

As noted on the 8-hour timeframe chart shared on social media platform X by crypto analyst World Of Charts,  SHIB has been on a consolidation channel for the past two months. However, the analyst foresees a bullish breakout to create a strong bullish wave that’s going to send SHIB holders on a profit margin between 100% and 120%.

Interestingly, a further look into the chart shared by World Of Charts shows that the analyst is open to a higher price surge over a longer period of time. The last price target indicated on the chart is $0.00009500, which is a 280% target from the current price levels. 

Can Shiba Inu Push Higher?

Shiba Inu recently formed a higher low on the weekly timeframe, an indicator that the bulls might be starting to gain the upper hand. Despite the past decline, over 56% of SHIB holders remained in profit as many long-term holders opted to hold on to their tokens. At the time of writing, SHIB is trading at $0.00002489 and is up by 6.4% in the past seven days. This price increase has seen the number of SHIB holders in profit rising concurrently to 61%.

Many addresses that just moved into profit margin are not taking profit indicating that majority of investors are anticipating a price increase in May. One catalyst that could lead to a further price increase is the recent partnership between PayPal and MoonPay which will allow PayPal users within the United States to buy the dog-themed cryptocurrency easily.

Popular crypto analyst Ali Martinez also predicted a SHIB price surge based on a bull flag that has recently appeared on the token’s price chart.

Cryptocurrency analyst and trader Ali Martinez is saying that the price of Dogecoin (DOGE) is exhibiting behavior it has previously displayed before embarking on massive rallies.

Martinez tells his 61,200 followers on the social media platform X that the largest memecoin by market cap earlier this year broke out of a descending triangle, which is considered bullish if the price breaks out above the upper trend line, on the weekly chart.

“It is currently undergoing a 47% price correction, very similar to previous cycles, which could ignite the next DOGE bull run!”

According to Martinez, Dogecoin exhibited similar price behavior in 2017 and 2021.

“In 2017, DOGE broke out of a descending triangle. Then, DOGE retraced by 40% before entering a 982% bull run!”

“In 2021, DOGE broke out of a descending triangle again. Then, DOGE retraced by 56% before skyrocketing by 12,197%!”

“Over the years, Dogecoin appears to mirror its previous bull cycles! All you need is a little bit of patience.”

Dogecoin is trading at $0.13 at time of writing.

Next up is the second-largest memecoin by market cap, Shiba Inu (SHIB). Martinez says that he entered a long position nearly 20% below the current level and is targeting a gain of close to 4x.

“Shiba Inu appears to be forming a bull flag on the daily chart! I’m placing buy orders around $0.000018343, aiming for a bullish breakout that sends SHIB to $0.000072323.”

SHIB is trading at $0.0000225 at time of writing.

Shiba Inu has constantly managed to trade above $0.000021 last week amidst an ongoing tussle between the bulls and bears. On-chain data has indicated some serious whale movements during this period, with trillions of SHIB shuffled in and out of exchanges. 

The price of SHIB went through a decline earlier in the week from an extended selloff in the previous week. As the week progressed, things started to change into bullish action during the weekend up until a resistance just below $0.000028. Interestingly, on-chain transaction data from whales shows the major holders moved trillions of SHIB over the weekend, with 3.19 trillion SHIB movement in the past 24 hours. 

Recent on-Chain Data Shows Large SHIB Whale Activity

According to IntoTheBlock’s large transaction volume data, the number of Shiba Inu transactions over $100,000 went through a major uptick last week, with the value of transactions greater than $100,000 reaching $661.5 million. On April 19th alone, SHIB transactions in this cohort reached 6.36 trillion SHIB worth $144.76 million. Large transactions in the last 24 hours particularly reached 3.19 trillion SHIB worth $82.49 million. 

With so much SHIB on the move, the big question is where are these whales sending their tokens. Interestingly, on-chain data showed large transactions consisting of a to and fro movement into and outside exchanges, indicating mixed feelings from large holders. A notable transaction involved the movement of 100 billion SHIB tokens into a crypto exchange on Sunday. Speculations from investors are that this could be a potential selloff from the whale, suggesting that there is a possibility of a price decline in the short term.

What Does This Mean For Shiba Inu Holders?

For average SHIB investors, whale activity can be both promising and worrying. While more large holders and transactions may indicate growing mainstream interest and adoption of the token, their moves can also significantly impact price. A positive price movement is enjoyed by Shiba Inu when whales are accumulating from exchanges. However, movement into exchanges suggests a selloff, as in the case of the 100 billion SHIB transaction on Sunday.

At the time of writing, SHIB is trading at $0.00002726, a 6.65% increase from 0.00002556 in the past 12 hours. Shiba Inu is also up by 16% on a larger seven-day timeframe and is on the way to displacing Cardano in the market cap rankings. 

SHIB’s price action this week should be full of action as the week unfolds, with the bulls now retesting a resistance at $0.000028. According to IntoTheBlock’s “In/Out Of The Money” metric, 6.62 trillion SHIB tokens were bought at this price level, with 28,760 addresses waiting to make a profit. A break over this price level indicates further resistance levels at $0.000029 and $0.000030.
