Shiba inu (SHIB) whales went bargain hunting early this week after prices dropped to a 16-month low of $0.00001005.
The whale action has likely contributed to the cryptocurrency’s 17% price bounce from the 16-month low reached Sunday. Note that the broader crypto market has stabilized following the initial knee-jerk reaction to the tensions in the Middle East. BTC, which fell below $100K over the weekend, last changed hands near $106,000.
Market data indicate that SHIB is maintaining a generally constructive posture, with higher lows forming a subtle uptrend channel. The token found significant volume support at the $0.00001158 level during the 24 hours from June 24, 09:00 to June 25, 08:00, with trading volume surging to 439 billion, well above the daily average.

Hourly chart
SHIB’s recovery has stalled since Tuesday, with prices trading in what appears to be a descending triangle, characterized by a falling trendline and a horizontal support line.
A price move through the descending trendline would signal a continuation of the recovery rally, exposing the June 16 resistance above $0.00001230. Conversely, a breakdown of the triangle would signal a bearish reversal lower.
