Shiba Inu (SHIB) jumped 7% in just one hour, beating the overall crypto market’s rise. What’s surprising is this gain happened without any big news or announcements over the weekend. According to U.Today, this means technical reasons likely drove the price up.
SHIB technical analysis and market outlook
Cryptocurrency prices usually rise or fall based on patterns and trends rather than news. SHIB’s recent 7% jump seems to be due to these patterns. Traders and analysts saw SHIB’s price bounce back from a critical level, suggesting it was oversold. SHIB’s price has remained steady for the past week as traders waited for a big move.

The broader crypto market is improving, with major cryptocurrencies recovering. This positive trend has renewed investor confidence, which may have led to SHIB’s sudden price jump. The market’s optimism and SHIB’s technical signals were perfect conditions for the token’s value to rise.
As SHIB keeps rising, traders watch its price closely to see how high it can go. This week, the US will release important CPI data for April, which could make the cryptocurrency markets more volatile.

Looks like panic sellers shitted the chart this past weekend 📉. With #bitcoin and other meme coins dumping yesterday, many @PedroRaccoonSol holders panic sold and thus the price retraced to where we were about 10 days ago.
