Bitcoin (BTC) Attempts a Re-Accumulation Before a Major Move, Shiba Inu (SHIB) Breaks Falling Wedge

Bitcoin (BTC) has remained below the $100,000 mark since the beginning of February, as bullish sentiment slows. Despite the lack of immediate upward momentum, analysts suggest the current stagnation resembles a re-accumulation phase, historically observed before major breakouts.

Bitcoin (BTC) has remained below the $100,000 mark since early February, as bullish sentiment slows. However, analysts suggest that this stagnation might be a re-accumulation phase, often observed before major breakouts.

Trading within a narrow range of $93,000-$98,000, BTC price action hints at a big move. A drop below $92,500 could spark panic selling, while a repeat of past patterns —tied to falling USDT dominance and a weaker Dollar Index (DXY)—might propel it to $150,000.

Bitcoin’s Consolidation Hints at Re-Accumulation Before a Major Move

Bitcoin (BTC) has remained below the $100,000 mark since the beginning of February, as bullish sentiment slows. Despite the lack of immediate upward momentum, analysts suggest the current stagnation resembles a re-accumulation phase, historically observed before major breakouts.

Technical analyst TradingShot highlights the role of USDT dominance in Bitcoin’s next potential rally. When USDT dominance declines, traders tend to rotate funds into BTC and other cryptocurrencies. This trend has preceded Bitcoin’s past surges, notably in January–March 2023 and November 2023–February 2024.

Currently, the USDT dominance is pulling back, similar to previous accumulation phases, alongside a drop in the Dollar Index (DXY). If this pattern repeats, BTC could be on track for a rally toward $150,000. However, short-term risks remain, with Glassnode identifying $92,500 as a key short-term holder cost basis. A drop below this level could trigger panic selling.

Analyst Rekt Capital also sees a potential bullish divergence, where BTC’s Relative Strength Index (RSI) is forming higher lows despite price consolidation. If BTC holds above $97,700, it could push toward $101,000 as the first milestone before an extended rally. However, Merlijn The Trader warns that if BTC closes below $93,500, it could decline to $86,000, its 200-day exponential moving average (EMA).

Meanwhile, some analysts highlight the possibility of BTC filling a CME gap at $76,000, a common occurrence in Bitcoin’s price history. Until Bitcoin breaks out of its current range of $93,000–$98,000, traders remain cautious.

Shiba Inu (SHIB) Attempts a Recovery After a Falling Wedge Breakout

After rallying over 50% in a week, Shiba Inu (SHIB) price is attempting to sustain a recovery from a Falling Wedge breakout. The meme coin is now eyeing a 422% upswing to reach $0.00008841, according to analyst Bezos Crypto.

The SHIB price recently broke out of a Falling Wedge pattern on the 1-day chart, indicating a potential bullish continuation. This technical setup usually leads to a strong upward move, and traders often use it to identify profitable long positions.

The meme coin soared 4,166,567% from its all-time low, making SHIB one of the most profitable cryptocurrencies in the market. Now, CoinW is suggesting that SHIB might soar again, this time by 4,166,567% to hit $1.

However, that seems highly unlikely. With 589 trillion SHIB tokens in circulation, a price of $1 would value the meme coin at $589 trillion, which is more than the entire world economy.

According to IntoTheBlock, SHIB’s address count showcases a one-year rise from 3.8 million to 4.64 million, indicating an influx of 840,000 new addresses. Notably, out of these new addresses, only around 100,000 actually hold SHIB tokens.

This data reveals a continuous growth in all types of holders, ranging from long-term “Hodlers” to short-term “Traders.” It’s also noteworthy that this increase inホルダーアドレスカウント (address count) occurred despite SHIB’s price declining significantly from its peak of $0.000045 in March 2024, following the cooling of the meme coin mania.

While the Falling Wedge breakout is certainly promising for SHIB bulls, the recent whale sales and the astronomical target set by CoinW could impact the meme coin’s price trajectory in the coming days.
