Kenya: SHIB price has rebounded 10% in the last 24 hours, triggering speculation about a potential explosive rally. Despite its recent recovery, SHIB still faces a daunting 549% surge requirement to eliminate another zero from its price. With key technical indicators flashing buy signals and whale activity ramping up, could SHIB be on the verge of a major breakout?

Whales Pounce as Shiba Inu Hits Two-Year MVRV Low

Shiba Inu (SHIB) is flashing potential recovery signals after a brutal sell-off. The meme coin’s 30-day Market Value to Realized Value (MVRV) ratio plunged to -30.76%, a level last seen in May 2022. Historically, such deep negative readings have marked major price bottoms, triggering double-digit rebounds.

Large holders appear to be paying attention. Data from IntoTheBlock reveals a 553% surge in whale inflows, jumping from 1.27 trillion SHIB on Feb. 2 to 6.51 trillion SHIB on Feb. 3. This suggests that deep-pocketed investors might be accumulating SHIB at discounted prices.

The metric indicates that most short-term holders are at heavy losses, placing the market in the “Opportunity Zone.” Past occurrences of MVRV reaching this level have led to sharp recoveries, but whether history repeats remains uncertain.

SHIB Must Overcome Key Hurdles to Rally 549%

Despite a 10% bounce, Shiba Inu (SHIB) faces stiff resistance levels that could limit its upside. The token must surge 549% to erase another zero and hit $0.0001, a level that seems out of reach for now.

However, technical indicators on the daily time frame suggest that achieving such a rally will not be easy. Fibonacci retracement levels highlight two key resistance zones at $0.00001957 (0.618 Fib) and $0.00002058 (0.5 Fib).

These levels acted as support during SHIB’s previous uptrend, but with the token trading below them, they usually flip into resistance. For SHIB to sustain an uptrend, it must encounter buying pressure at these levels to continue rising higher.

Relative Strength Index (RSI) for SHIB is at 32.94, indicating that the token is approaching oversold conditions. Typically, RSI levels below 30 can signal a potential reversal, but the current low trading volume of 875 million suggests weak demand, making an immediate breakout unlikely.

The Directional Movement Index (DMI) still shows a bearish trend, with the red -DI line (31.47) sitting above the blue +DI line (8.68), confirming that sellers are still in control of SHIB’s price action.

Moreover, the 1.618 Fib extension at $0.00001096 could serve as a key long-term support level. If SHIB fails to maintain its current trading range, it could retest this zone before any meaningful rebound.

To regain bullish momentum, SHIB must clear the $0.00002 level and sustain trading above it. Without strong volume and renewed buying interest, the current price bounce could turn into another failed breakout attempt.
