Will SHIB sustain its pump?

Apart from the NFT space, SHIB also managed to put a smile on the faces of investors as its weekly chart was bullish. CoinMarketCap’s data reveal that SHIB’s price increased by more than 20% during the last seven days. At the time of writing, it was valued at $0.00001 with a market capitalization of over $5.4 billion.

Surprisingly, things were changing as SHIB’s price decreased by 7%. However, a look at SHIB’s on-chain metrics would offer a better understanding of what was cooking.

A bullish signal was that SHIB’s Market Value to Realized Value (MVRV) Ratio registered an uptick. This suggested that the price might continue to increase in the coming days. However, negative sentiments around SHIB spiked twice over the last week, reflecting less trust in SHIB among the community.

Furthermore, CryptoQuant’s data revealed that SHIB’s exchange reserve was increasing. This was a bearish signal as it indicated higher selling pressure.

Realistic or not, here’s SHIB’s market cap in BTC’s terms

The bears are here

A look at SHIB’s daily chart suggested that the bulls lost all their advantage in the market as most of the indicators were bearish. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) registered a downtick from the overbought position, indicating that SHIB’s price might decline in the coming days.

SHIB’s Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) also followed a similar path and went down. Nonetheless, the Exponential Moving Average (EMA) Ribbon gave some hope for a price surge as it displayed a bullish crossover.
