Shiba Inu Forms Death Cross, But I'm Not Buying the Panic

I've been watching SHIB's chart lately, and yeah, it's formed what traders dramatically call a "death cross" - the 9-day moving average slipping under the 26-day moving average on the three-hour chart. Honestly, I'm tired of these overhyped technical signals that everyone treats like doomsday prophecies.

Sure, SHIB has dropped below the $0.00001223 support level, trading at $0.00001214 with a slight decline of 0.68% in 24 hours. But here's what fascinates me - despite this supposedly terrifying death cross, trading volume is actually UP by 17.25% to $221.76 million. Doesn't exactly scream "everyone's running for the hills," does it?

The market's reaction tells me something different than what these technical patterns suggest. People are still actively trading this coin despite the bearish signals. I've seen this movie before - technical indicators predict apocalypse while actual market behavior shows resilience.

What does concern me, though, is the 98% crash in SHIB's burn rate. Only 223,914 tokens sent to dead wallets in 24 hours? That's pathetic compared to the 1,000% burn rate spike we saw two days ago. The deflationary mechanism is SHIB's lifeline - without consistent burns, the massive supply becomes an anchor dragging down price potential.

If SHIB bulls don't step up their game, we might see it retest the $0.00001165 support. Worst case, SHIB adds another zero to its price - something I've watched happen before with these hyped meme coins when their communities lose focus.

But I wouldn't count SHIB out yet. These "death crosses" are more reliable in hindsight than as predictive tools. Just ask anyone who panic-sold Bitcoin during its numerous death crosses only to watch it rally afterward.

The trading volume spike tells me there's still life in this dog yet.

SHIB-1.99%
BTC-0.43%
