Shiba Inu has been on a notable decline since the week's start, seeing only one green day since Sunday. While there might be indications of a relief rally in the days ahead, given prolonged selling, the likelihood of a dead cat bounce cannot be ruled out.
A dead cat bounce occurs when the price makes a slight recovery to resume its previous downtrend. Either way, it goes, the bulls have a soft landing: a 70 trillion SHIB support.
According to on-chain data from IntoTheBlock, near where SHIB trades presently is a massive support that might act as a backstop for further declines.
