Shiba Inu Price: The waning bullish momentum in the Bitcoin price continues to bolster the sideways trend in altcoins, including SHIB. The second-largest meme cryptocurrency has been highly volatile for the past two weeks resonating between $0.00001 and $0.00000934 horizontal levels. The long-wick rejection candles on either side accentuate the increasing uncertainty among market participants. Here’s how this consolidation may influence the near-term future of Shiba Inu.

Why Shiba Inu Price Prolong Downtrend
Amid the renewed recovery in the crypto market, the Shiba Inu price rebounded from the local support of $0.00000934 on February 24th. The positive turnaround has surged the prices by 4% in the last three days to the current trade at $0.00000973.
However, the reversal is still backed by weak momentum, and the buyers would need a breakout above $0.00001 to escape the current consolidation. Having said that, the breakout may only surge the price by 5-7% and hit the long-coming resistance trendline.
This dynamic resistance is part of a falling wedge pattern that carries the current downtrend in Shiba Inu. Thus, until this channel pattern is intact, the popular memecoin will remain in a downtrend.
Moreover, A whale, identified as 0x30e, has offloaded 421.6 billion SHIB tokens worth $3.98 million, as reported by SpotOnChain. The transactions included a transfer of 311.6 billion SHIB to Binance and the sale of 110 billion SHIB for 1.01 million USDT on a DEX. This sale resulted in a staggering loss of $6.32 million, or a 61.4% decrease, after holding for 2.5 years. This move may promote the SHIB price and is likely to prolong its current downtrend.
