Bitcoin [BTC] attempted to climb past the $20.2k-$20.7k resistance zone in the past few days of trading. Shiba Inu [SHIB] also posted some gains over the past week, but its long-term trend remained bearish, stretching back to late October. Shiba Inu did not possess much momentum in recent days, but it has a strong support zone to the south. Can the bulls defend this area?

A descending channel (white) was plotted based on the price action of SHIB since May. The price has made a series of lower highs. However, the most recent lower high at $0.000011 was broken in late June, when SHIB closed a trading session at $0.000012, which was nearly 8% higher.
On one hand, we had a bullish market structure break. On the other was an unbroken descending channel. Which would prevail? In the next week or two, the $0.0000094 level would be important for the bulls to defend. It was a confluence of a long-term support level, as well as the channel’s mid-point. Hence, it would likely offer a bounce on a retest.
From where SHIB was trading at press time to $0.000011 represented an area of resistance from mid-May. If it were flipped to support, SHIB bulls can attempt to buy the coin with some confidence.
