Other platforms include Binance, Huobi, Kucoin, etc. Today SHIB ranks #46 with a market cap of $2.3 billion.

SHIB daily chart
As a result of the bullish price action, the relative strength index (RSI: the purple graph below) adopted a near-vertical uptrend. In hindsight, the RSI is a momentum indicator. Therefore, a high RSI between 30 and 70 signifies that the traders are confident in the asset and are ready to invest.
Moreover, the SHIB saw a golden cross on the daily chart between the 20-day exponential moving average (EMA-20) and the 50-day simple moving average (SMA-50). The golden cross is a bullish formation that predicts gains in the long run for as long as the short-term MA holds above the long-term MA.
If SHIB keeps the uptrend with confidence, it has to conquer the resistance line at $0.00000935. If the digital asset can keep above it, it can retest the line as support. The upcoming sessions will show if the listing will be enough to fuel the rally much longer.
