Shiba Inu (SHIB) is currently positioned at the edge of a potential 15% price breakthrough on the SHIB/USDT chart. However, a closer look at the token's volume profiles and market behavior signals a major hurdle that could dampen the momentum needed for this leap.
As technical indicators suggest, SHIB is at a crossroads. The token is eyeing a move above its 200-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA), a critical resistance level that, if breached, could validate the bullish trend. Traders and investors are closely monitoring this level, as a decisive close above it may signal the start of a sustained upward trajectory.
Yet, the descending volume profile casts a shadow over the scenario. Volume is a key driver in the validation of any price movement; it provides the necessary market participation and confidence. For SHIB, the declining volume indicates a lack of interest, or hesitation among traders to commit at current price levels. This reduction in trading activity could result in a false breakout or a return to lower support levels, making the anticipated 15% surge an uphill battle.

The market's dynamics are clear: without volume, even the most technically poised setups are prone to fail. For SHIB to overcome its current impasse and achieve a 15% price increase, it would require a substantial influx of trading volume. This would not only validate the bullish sentiment but also propel the token past the 200 EMA, which is crucial for maintaining upward momentum.
