SHIB daily chart

Before the listing news came out, the digital asset dropped to a record low of $0.00000507 on September 7. However, it managed a 50 percent uptrend overnight and reached $0.00000820, before stabilizing at $0.00000689 in the New York session Wednesday.

If SHIB continues to rally, it could retest the $0.00000761 line as support, and a boost to the next resistance level. If the digital asset sees a correction ahead, it could seek assistance from a resistance-turned-support line at $0.00000652.

Moreover, the recent bullish spike resulted in a golden cross between the 20-day exponential moving average (EMA-20; blue wave) and the 50-day simple moving average (SMA-50; red wave). In hindsight, the said formation is a bullish predictor that promises further gains for as long as the short-term MA manages to hold above the long-term MA.
