According to CoinMarketCap data cited by AMBCrypto, the dog-themed token has shown minimal movement in the past week and has experienced a decline of 14.5% in value since the start of the year.

Although these numbers may not inspire much optimism, it is important to consider the overall state of the broader market.

Due to outflows from Grayscale Bitcoin Trust, most coins have experienced a downturn this month, leading to a majority of them being in the red.

In fact, compared to other meme coins, SHIB fared slightly better. According to AMBCrypto, SHIB was the only meme coin project that did not experience any weekly declines at the time of publication.

Furthermore, amongst Memes Tokens by Market Capitalization, SHIB has been ranked on the top few with stability for quite some time now.

Analyzing the Potential for SHIB's Upswing

SHIB traders could find encouragement in a bullish prediction made by well-known technical analyst Ali Martinez.

According to Martinez, while analyzing the TD Sequential indicator, he identified a buy signal for SHIB. This optimistic finding led him to predict a potential bounce for SHIB in the upcoming days.

“Keep an eye out, as SHIB could climb to $0.010 or potentially even reach $0.011.”

After conducting further investigation using Trading View, AMBCrypto discovered additional supporting data. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) was gradually rising towards the neutral 50 level, indicating a decrease in selling pressure.

Moreover, the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) line recently crossed above the signal line, which is often seen as a buy signal by the majority of analysts and traders.

Whales Pick Up Possibility of Profits

It appears that SHIB whales have also made bullish forecasts for the meme coin.

Despite the decline in price, there has been a notable increase in large transactions worth more than $100K in the past four days, as reported by AMBCrypto's analysis of Santiment data.

As is apparent, these transactions have led to a rise in the number of addresses associated with whale cohorts. This suggests that whales are accumulating SHIB in anticipation of potential future profits.

According to Coinglass, the number of long positions for SHIB has significantly surpassed the number of short positions at the time of writing. This serves as further evidence that traders are optimistic and anticipating a positive month in February.

Hit the Jackpot with SHIB?

Over the past 24 hours, Shiba Inu has experienced a notable price boost of 3.89%, reaching $0.000009323. Furthermore, the trading volume has surged by an impressive 52.89%, propelling it to the 19th position in terms of ranking with a market cap of $5.4 billion.

The surge in burn rate can be attributed to the remarkable advancements made in Shibarium, Shiba Inu's Layer-2 blockchain. These advancements have enabled the project to achieve significant milestones, including a total of 308.07 million transactions.

Primary prediction tools continue to have an optimistic outlook on Shiba Inu, and its strong performance in January suggests the potential for an exceptional February.

There are various strategies an investor could have employed to generate a profit of one billion dollars from their investment in Shiba Inu cryptocurrency.

On September 1, 2020, the Shiba Inu token reached a low trading price of $0.00000000008165. If an investor had invested approximately $6,900 into the token at that time, they would have acquired a total of 8,450,704,200,000 SHIB tokens.

A patient investor who held onto the SHIB tokens until it reached its all-time high (ATH) of $0.00008845, a little over a year later, would have made a staggering total profit of $7,474,647,887, equivalent to $7.47 billion.

Although investing $6,900 in an unproven coin may seem like a risky endeavor, an alternative strategy would have been to invest $100 weekly from around August 20, 2020, until the token reached its all-time high (ATH). In this case, the total investment would still be $6,900.

As a result of the significant surge of more than 18.7 million percent, the value of the investor's holdings would have skyrocketed to $1.16 billion.
