Will Shiba Inu go up in 2022? SHIB Price Prediction

From its previous bull market top of approximately $0.0000885 in October 2021, the Shiba Inu price has since corrected 80% to around $0.0000175.

Then it put in a 100% bounce this week back to $0.000035, leading investors to ask if Shiba Inu will go up in 2022 and make new all-time highs.

2022 Shiba Inu Price Action

Based on the Fibonacci retracement levels marked on the SHIB price chart above, Shiba Inu bounced from its 0.236 Fibonacci line in late 2021 and again in early 2022 – showing buyer interest at this level. Fibonacci levels tend to act as strong support and large buyers place bids at these areas.

An early wick towards that line – at a price of just over $0.000028 was front ran, bouncing before reaching it, and two furthers wicks bounced at that support line.

The price did eventually break below that area, however that was at a time when the stock market and Bitcoin – which has been correlated to the S&P 500 recently – also crashed and set new lows.

Paypal, Netflix and then Facebook saw large losses in marketcap and the S&P 500 wicked below its 200 daily SMA (simple moving average). The markets have since stabilised and has seen a rally alongside some bullish news updates such as Russia announcing they own over $200 billion in Bitcoin and India relaxing its stance on cryptocurrency.

Bitcoin has since regained the price level where Facebook and Instagram announced they would support the minting of NFTs and is currently trading at around $43,000 after a spike back to $45,500.

This has improved investor confidence in altcoins and more ‘risk on’ assets such as meme coins – both Dogecoin (DOGE) and Shiba Inu saw rallies this week, although SHIB’s was larger.

This month lead Shiba Inu developer Shytoshi Kusama announced that Shiba Inu has signed a partnership with fast food chain Welly’s, and will be opening SHIB themed stores where customers can use the meme token to make payments and purchase NFTs.

Shiba Inu also announced plans to finalize the beta launch of their decentralized governance forum Doggy DAO, which will allow SHIB token holders and community members to have a say in the Shiba Inu project.

Will SHIB go up in 2022?

Many investors and traders will have had their stop losses under the 0.236 Fibonacci line – the brief two week deviation below that line followed by a strong reclaim of it on increasing volume, suggests that may have been a ‘shakeout’, common in crypto markets.

If Shiba Inu can retest and hold that level we’d expect it to then enter a new sideways range and test the 0.382 Fibonacci level in 2022 – at a price of $0.00004.

If the SHIB price can reclaim that level to the upside, it would suggest a new Shiba Inu bull cycle has been confirmed and the next price targets would be at each Fibonacci retracement level – at just under $0.00005, $0.00006 and just over $0.00007.

Technical analysis (TA) is not an exact science, we would expect those levels to act as resistance on the way up however as traders that bought the dip take profit near those round numbers, which can act as psychological resistance for sellers – although they are also attractive to buyers.

Ethereum has reclaimed the $3,000 level which is usually a good sign for altcoin prices and can result in an ‘altcoin season’.

Elon Musk tweeted in January 2022 that Tesla would accept DOGE as a payment method for merchandise, however the billionaire investor has been quiet on Shiba Inu. Another SHIB related tweet from him is overdue and could cause another pump.
