Vitalik Buterin's tweet sent the ETH and SHIB markets into a frenzy: what's next?
Vitalik Buterin's X post has caused significant speculation and volatility in the cryptocurrency market, especially Ethereum (ETH) and Shiba Inu (SHIB). Cryptocurrency influencer Lola's hint to Ethereum co-founder Buterin suggests a scenario where Shiba Inu (SHIB) becomes redundant in the Ethereum ecosystem.
Recent market dynamics show a volatile pattern, with ETH priced at $3,176.55 facing resistance at a key level, while SHIB is currently trading at $0.00001549, striving to overcome its own support and resistance challenges.
ETH has experienced significant fluctuations in the past day, undergoing a notable decline with a 24-hour change rate of -5.16%. The key resistance levels are at $3,349 and $3,300, forming significant obstacles, indicating difficulty in price increase.
On the contrary, support levels around $3,150 and $3,200 provided some stability, but bearish sentiment still exists with RSI at 33.02, indicating the possibility of overselling. MACD trades below the signal line, enhancing short-term bearish momentum.
By contrast, the current price of SHIB is $0.00001549, a decrease of 8.22% in the last 24 hours, with the trading volume increasing to $282.64 million. The token faces strong resistance at $0.00001689 and $0.00001630, while finding support near $0.00001530 and $0.00001550. Despite its oversold RSI reading of 26.93, indicating potential for a price rebound, the upward trend of the MACD above the signal line suggests a bullish momentum is emerging.
If ETH breaks through the resistance level of $3,300, there may be a bullish outcome with a target price of $3,349 or higher. Similarly, if SHIB breaks through the resistance level of $0.00001630, there may be a bullish surge with a target price of $0.00001689. On the contrary, if ETH falls below $3,150, there may be a bearish reversal with a possible test of lower support levels, while SHIB may further drop below $0.00001530.
