The Shiba Inu price has jumped by 8.5% today, with its rise to $0.00000803 coming as the cryptocurrency market as a whole gains by a less impressive 1%.
This move means that SHIB has now risen by 19% in a week and by 10% in the last 30 days.

One thing that may be concerning for SHIB is that its support level had been declining in recent weeks.
The TD Sequential flashed a buy signal on $SHIB weekly chart. Notably, the previous two bullish turns from this indicator led to price surges of 118% and 71%, respectively.
