SHIB price action

In line with market action, Shiba Inu declined to lows of $0.00002860 on Jan. 5 before a slight rebound. At press time, Shiba Inu trades at $0.299, down 2.3% on the daily chart.

According to IntoTheBlock's In/Out of the money, a rebound from the $0.000028 mark is envisaged due to major support at this key level. Nearly 24,000 addresses have bought 9.263 billion Shiba Inu tokens at this level, indicating a massive buy wall.

On the other hand, Shiba Inu might face little resistance until $0.000031; however, the next major resistance is expected on the approach to $0.000032 and then at $0.000034, as a large number of Shiba Inu addresses have placed sell orders at this point.
