Technical analysis suggests that Shiba Inu is currently positioned at a critical price junction, one that could lead to a massive 400% breakout to the upside. According to an analyst on the TradingView platform, the current Shiba Inu price action is pointing towards a full breakout of a bull flag formation. If this interesting projection were to materialize as anticipated, it would put the meme-inspired cryptocurrency on a steady path to a return towards its current all-time high.
Shiba Inu Price Waiting To Break Above Bull Flag
Taking to the TradingView platform, the analyst (without_worries) revealed an interesting take after an analysis of the Shiba Inu price action since the beginning of the year. The analyst highlighted a significant correction by examining the 5-day candlestick price chart, noting that Shiba Inu has retraced approximately 75% from its yearly high of $0.00003595. This correction has been marked by a sequence of lower highs and lower lows, giving rise to the creation of a bull flag pattern.

The analyst pointed out several reasons why going long on Shiba Inu now presents a favorable opportunity. The most critical factor is the breakout above the bull flag pattern, which often signals the continuation of an upward trend following a period of consolidation.
In addition, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) has also provided a bullish signal. For the first time since April, the RSI has broken above a descending trendline and is now trending upward meaningfully. The RSI currently stands at 54.7 on the 5-day chart, relaying the inflow trend among investors.
Although there remains the possibility of SHIB retesting the bull flag pattern, the analyst emphasized that if SHIB experiences a second impulsive move, it could trigger a repeat rally similar to the one seen during its last major breakout. During that previous rally, SHIB surged by about 400% to reach a peak of $0.00003595.
If history were to repeat itself under similar conditions, Shiba Inu could see its price break above its current 2024 peak and reach a target between $0.00006204 and $0.000074.
