SHIB Faces Selling Pressure After October Drop

The price of the widely-used meme cryptocurrency has dropped to its lowest point since the end of October, and according to U.Today, it has been facing selling pressure for the last five days.

Nevertheless, the 23-day moving average serves as a dynamic resistance level, and today's candle has absorbed all of this downward movement.

Golden Cross Formation Hints at Bullish Signal

Concurrently, a golden cross is still developing on the Shiba Inu price chart, with the 50-day moving average rising and the 200-day moving average falling. It is possible to create a golden cross when the two curves meet.

This pattern has been seen in the price history of SHIB multiple times, and according to the rules of technical analysis, it is a bullish indicator.

Historical Gains: December’s Golden Cross Rally

When this happened last in December 2023, the Shiba Inu token price soared 454%, from $0.0000083 to $0.00004567, at its peak.

Concerns about the long-awaited golden cross's viability or the end of preparations for it persisted up until a few days ago, when a string of red bars appeared. But now, SHIB's bullish conduct seems to have revived the topic of what lies ahead for the meme coin's price.
