Shiba Inu SHIB/USD was climbing up over 6% at one point during Thursday’s 24-hour trading session, attempting to confirm a new uptrend pattern on the daily chart.
The move higher came in tandem with Dogecoin DOGE/USD, which was spiking over 6% higher amid bullish price action in the crypto sector following a landmark ruling by a U.S. judge, who determined that Ripple's sales of the XRP token XRP/USD do not constitute an offer of investment contracts.
Shiba Inu’s bullish reaction to the news saw the crypto regain the 50-day simple moving average (SMA) as it formed a higher high to confirm a new uptrend. The crypto’s downtrend was negated during Wednesday’s 24-hour session when Shiba Inu formed a higher low of $0.00000735.

The Shiba Inu Chart: When Shiba Inu burst upward to print its higher high, it also negated a possible bearish double top pattern, which is a good sign for the bulls. Bullish traders who aren’t already in a position may choose to wait for the crypto to print its next higher low before entering a position.
- Shiba Inu’s move higher was taking place on higher-than-average volume, which suggests the bulls are attempting to regain control and have an increased interest in the crypto. If Shiba Inu closes the 24-hour session near its high-of-day, the crypto will form a bullish Marubozu candlestick, which could indicate it will trade higher again during Friday’s session.
- The next most likely scenario is that Shiba Inu will trade sideways on Friday to form an inside bar pattern. Bullish traders would like to see that take place above the 50-day SMA. If the crypto falls back below the 50-day, the area could act as resistance during further 24-hour trading sessions.
- Bearish traders want to see bullish volume begin to decrease and then for big bearish volume to come in and knock Shiba Inu back under the 50-day, which could cause the crypto to test the $0.00000738 mark as support. If Shiba Inu were to fall under that area, a move downward could accelerate.
- Shiba Inu has resistance above at $0.00000856 and $0.00000975 and support below at $0.00000793 and $0.00000738.
