Shiba Inu is subtly poised for a breakout as the price chart shows signs of a potential recovery. Currently, SHIB is above its 200-day exponential moving average, an important indicator of changes in market sentiment, emerging from a difficult period of consolidation and downward pressure.
Traders utilize the 200 EMA as an important technical indicator to assess the general direction of the market. If SHIB can break above this level, the coin seems to be preparing for a more bullish move. This development signals a strengthening trend in SHIB’s price performance and may attract additional buyers and momentum in the coming days and weeks.
SHIB/USDT chart by TradingView
Significant gains typically result from an asset’s past success in breaking above the 200 EMA, and SHIB may be no exception. For SHIB to continue rising, we need to keep an eye on two key price levels. There is an initial resistance level at $0.00001800 and a major breakout zone at $0.00002100.
At the moment, SHIB is trading just below the first significant resistance level at $0.00001800. If SHIB rises above this level, it would indicate gaining momentum and could lead to further upside. Reaching this level would pave the way for a possible rise, as it has historically acted as a barrier.
Approximately $0.00002100 represents a significant price range and is the second most important level for SHIB. SHIB has entered a strong bullish phase and could experience exponential growth if it can break through this level. If SHIB breaks above this level, it would signal a major change in market sentiment and could attract increased interest from institutional and retail investors.
XRP regains its position
After weeks of sideways movement and bearish pressure, XRP is currently at a potential tipping point, suggesting a possible price reversal. Although some traders are hoping for a recovery, there is still a long way to go before XRP rises.
The big hurdle is the key resistance level at $0.56. When the 100-day and 200-day exponential moving averages (EMAs) converge, XRP encounters strong resistance at $0.56. It will take significant bullish momentum to break through this resistance, as it has proven to be a significant barrier so far.

If XRP is unable to overcome this level and faces further downward pressure, a recovery is unlikely. If the attempt at this level fails, the lower support zone may be tested again, so traders should monitor the situation closely.
Another significant concern with XRP is the continued withdrawal of funds from the market. Based on data collected from the blockchain, it appears that institutional investors and large holders are losing faith in XRP, as evidenced by capital flowing out of the platform.
When whale buying pressure is not as strong, XRP becomes more susceptible to external market forces. In this environment of diminished interest, sustainable price reversals will face difficulties.
Even if XRP is poised for a price reversal, strong resistance at $0.56 and continued outflows make a significant recovery unlikely in the near future. To break out of deeper bearish territory, the price will need to sustain above key support levels, especially $0.50.
Bitcoin’s potential catalyst
Bitcoin is about to break out of its 50-day and 100-day exponential moving averages, which could be a strong catalyst for the price. Indicating a change in market momentum, the intersection of these two moving averages could lead to another rally for Bitcoin.

Such cross trades usually create new buying pressure and increase investor confidence. Short-term to medium-term trend changes are usually indicated by the 50/100 EMA cross.
If there is a bullish cross, traders may see an increase in demand for Bitcoin and decide to expand their positions. Three important price points to be aware of: $61,900 – Directly against it. The 100-day EMA mark at $61,900 represents an immediate barrier that Bitcoin needs to overcome.
A bullish 50/100 EMA cross could be confirmed by a big break above this level, which could spur the price higher. The strength of the upside potential will be determined by how BTC reacts to this level, so traders should monitor it closely. The critical support level is $63,000.
