Shiba Inu (SHIB), the ERC-20 meme coin token that powers the Shiba Inu web3 ecosystem, was last trading around $0.0000075, down more than 90% from its 2021 all-time highs in the $0.000088 area.
For now, the crypto token is consolidating within recent $0.000007-8 ranges and is just below its 21 and 50-Day Moving Averages (DMAs).

Bears may see a rally back to such levels as a good opportunity to add to short positions with a view to targeting a retest of the yearly lows.
Of course, was SHIB able to break above this key resistance zone, it could be set up for a swift rally back to test yearly highs around $0.000016.
But on the way back to yearly highs, SHIB would face formidable resistance at the 200DMA near $0.00001, which also coincides with March/April lows, and around April’s
