The bearish resurgence from the $0.01195-mark pulled Shiba Inu [SHIB] toward its high liquidity range in the $0.01006-level. (For brevity, SHIB prices are multiplied by 1000 from here on).

Over the last month, SHIB has found an oscillation range in the $0.01195-$0.0077 region. The near-term recovery prospects seemed relatively weak while the EMA ribbons flipped south. Further, the volumes have also been receding. Thus, making the alt’s current position quite fragile.

Also, the alt formed a bearish pennant-like structure in the 4-hour timeframe as the momentum shifted toward the sellers. A drop below the ribbons would reaffirm the selling resistance and increase the chances of a potential breakdown. In this case, the take-profit levels could be in the $0.0094-zone.
However, a revival beyond the 23.6% level could provide the bulls a much-needed force to invalidate the bearish tendencies. The 38.2% level would constrict the buying efforts in this case.
