Sellers Take the $0.000005 Line

The Shiba Inu (SHIB) price sits at $0.00000497, on the underside of the $0.000005 round number that organized the token's trading through October. The quote is down 0.6% over the past 24 hours, and sellers hold the advantage on every timeframe the charts record: daily, 4-hour and weekly. The band price occupies is narrow. Its floor is the low printed near $0.00000480 on October 19, a level buyers defended once already; its ceiling is the short 4-hour average at $0.00000502, the first barrier any bounce must clear. Past the ceiling sit two further 4-hour averages, at $0.00000526 and $0.00000536, both sloping down. Past the floor, chart structure points to $0.00000440.

The round level had absorbed repeated tests before it gave way, and its loss shifted the short-term mood toward sellers. Lower highs have printed since October 7, and every bounce in that sequence stopped below the averages. The low at $0.00000480 was touched on October 19, and the bounce died below the $0.00000502 average, a weak response by any reading. Volume has thinned through the move, so neither side shows strong conviction. The daily relative strength index reads near 40, weak but not oversold; the 4-hour reading sits near 45, neutral enough that a short-term reversal is possible though not confirmed. As a memecoin, Shiba Inu (SHIB) trades on positioning rather than protocol revenue, and positioning is what the charts now describe: a downtrend with a thin floor. Nothing in the tape shows capitulation; the sell-side case rests on structure, not on heavy selling. The first confirmed signal for buyers is a 4-hour close back above $0.000005. Until that prints, the band's lower edge at $0.00000480 is the line the market must defend.

The composite signals we track line up behind the chart. The relative strength index reads 36.42, the MACD signal is bearish, and the trend call is a downtrend, all measured within the past two hours. Positioning is small in absolute terms: perpetual funding stands at 0.0059% and open interest at $9,985,392, figures light enough that a single derivatives flush could carry the quote through either edge of the band. On our composite scoring, the strongest support level scores 100 out of 100 and the strongest resistance 95 out of 100, so the edges the charts draw are the ones the model treats as real. A funding flip negative, or open interest building while price stalls beneath $0.000005, would change the picture.

Daily Rejection, Weekly Range

On the daily chart, the path down began at the September high near $0.00000625, rejected close to the 200-day moving average at $0.00000560. From there the price fell through the orange, blue and cyan averages, a cluster between $0.00000526 and $0.00000545 that now works as resistance instead of support. Each line slopes down, which keeps pressure on every rally attempt. For Shiba Inu holders the weekly frame matters more. The token has trended down since early 2025, and the major weekly average sits near $0.0000114, far above the quote. In July the market bottomed near $0.00000405 and has since traded sideways between $0.00000450 and $0.00000650. That range still holds. The current weekly candle is red and slides toward its lower half, while weekly volume stays very low, a sign of weak interest rather than panic; the range floor at $0.00000450 has not been tested this month.

COINOTAG's adjacent reporting fills in the flows behind the chart: exchange reserves fell to 87.06 trillion tokens as selling pressure eased, the burn rate jumped 2,349% in 24 hours while removing only about $5 worth of tokens, and Shibarium daily transactions dropped to 659, the lowest since September 20.

The measured distances are short. From the live quote to the $0.00000480 floor is roughly 3.4%; to the $0.00000502 average, about 1%. A 4-hour close back above $0.000005, then a move through $0.00000526, would be the first structural repair. A break beneath the floor would open a retest of the July lows. The band is small, and the next close decides which edge gives.
