As Shiba Inu (SHIB) continues to correct its price, consolidating the gains it has attained since the year’s turn, much like many other cryptocurrencies, machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms are pessimistic regarding its price performance in the near future.

Indeed, after trading around the $0.00003 area until mid-April, the price action of Shiba Inu has slowed down significantly in the past several weeks, first dropping below the critical level at $0.00002, and then reverting to below $0.000017, following the bearish sentiment of the crypto market.

Shiba Inu price prediction

Regarding its future performance, the complex AI algorithms deployed by the crypto analytics and forecasting platform PricePredictions have set the price of SHIB at $0.000014 on July 1, 2024, suggesting that the memecoin would continue to decline, according to the most recent data obtained on June 24.

Specifically, the target price set by the algorithms, which rely on indicators such as moving average divergence convergence (MACD), relative strength index (RSI), and average true range (ATR), would suggest a further drop of 16.52% from Shiba Inu’s current price.

For the time being, the popular meme doge token is currently trading at the price of $0.00001677, which represents a decline of 6.70% in the last 24 hours, a 15.32% drop across the previous seven days, as well as a 32.06% loss on its monthly chart, while recording a 62.44% advance since the year’s turn.

Meanwhile, one factor that could affect Shiba Inu’s price in the near future is the activity of its largest holders, i.e. whales.

Potential factors for SHIB price

In fact, should this whale decide to sell their holdings of the currently 12th-largest asset in the crypto market, it could cause a tectonic shift in its price, primarily due to exercising strong selling pressure that could cause the SHIB price to decline further and instill ‘FUD’ (fear, uncertainty, doubt) among investors.

On the other hand, crypto expert Casey Stubbs projected in mid-June that SHIB would likely experience a significant inflow of capital, potentially elevating the token’s market capitalization to $1 trillion, taking into account the anticipated impact of Shiba Inu’s layer-2 scaling solution Shibarium, as Finbold reported on June 17.

All things considered, Shiba Inu could, indeed, continue on its downward path in the following weeks as the AI algorithm suggests, but it is important to keep in mind that trends could change and that relying on one source of data exclusively is not wise, so doing one’s own research and keeping up with any SHIB news is critical when investing.
