Over the last few weeks, SHIB/USD has made several lower highs and higher lows, finally settling below $0.00003. Shiba Inu has been trading sideways below resistance for the majority of this week, indicating a possible push higher later this week.
Shiba Inu finally broke higher yesterday, quickly touching the previous all-time high of $0.000035. After a brief pause, the previous all-time high was broken overnight, bringing SHIB/USD to its current level of $0.0.
