Shiba Inu Golden Cross Confirmed: SHIB Rallies by 13% - U.Today

Shiba Inu saw a sharp move higher on Sunday, reaching an intraday high of $0.00000899 as the price saw a breakout past key barriers.

The surge also coincided with a golden cross appearing on Shiba Inu's two-hour chart. The 50 MA has risen above the 200 MA on the two-hour chart, confirming a golden cross.

Shiba Inu posted nine consecutive green candles on the two-hour chart in the aftermath of the golden cross.

The appearance of the golden crosses on Shiba Inu's short-term charts remains meaningful in fast markets when accompanied with increasing volume and a breakout above key resistance, which happened in the recent move.

This suggests that the ongoing Shiba Inu price surge was not a quiet move higher, but that drew market activity.
