Shiba Inu has rebounded by over 19% from its $0.00002081 price point at the beginning of the month. Current price action shows the cryptocurrency might be on its way to performing an interesting price surge in the coming weeks. According to one crypto analyst, SHIB could actually go on a 120% price surge after breaking out of the current consolidation.
Crypto Analyst Says Massive Surge Coming
SHIB kickstarted a price correction immediately after reaching 0.00003556 in early March. Bullish investor sentiment surrounding the meme cryptocurrency at the time quickly changed into a bearish one. This pushed SHIB on a decline that bottomed out at $0.00002117 in the middle of April, indicating a 40% price correction in those two months. Interestingly, this was the worst SHIB price decline since the May 2022 collapse of the Terra ecosystem.

As noted on the 8-hour timeframe chart shared on social media platform X by crypto analyst World Of Charts, SHIB has been on a consolidation channel for the past two months. However, the analyst foresees a bullish breakout to create a strong bullish wave that’s going to send SHIB holders on a profit margin between 100% and 120%.

Interestingly, a further look into the chart shared by World Of Charts shows that the analyst is open to a higher price surge over a longer period of time. The last price target indicated on the chart is $0.00009500, which is a 280% target from the current price levels.
Can Shiba Inu Push Higher?
Shiba Inu recently formed a higher low on the weekly timeframe, an indicator that the bulls might be starting to gain the upper hand. Despite the past decline, over 56% of SHIB holders remained in profit as many long-term holders opted to hold on to their tokens. At the time of writing, SHIB is trading at $0.00002489 and is up by 6.4% in the past seven days. This price increase has seen the number of SHIB holders in profit rising concurrently to 61%.

Many addresses that just moved into profit margin are not taking profit indicating that majority of investors are anticipating a price increase in May. One catalyst that could lead to a further price increase is the recent partnership between PayPal and MoonPay which will allow PayPal users within the United States to buy the dog-themed cryptocurrency easily.
Popular crypto analyst Ali Martinez also predicted a SHIB price surge based on a bull flag that has recently appeared on the token’s price chart.
