Shiba Inu’s 55% rally could lose steam as it faces a major resistance zone

Shiba Inu Coin

As the crypto market roars back modestly, Shiba Inu has been posting massive gains. Over the past three days alone, the coin is up nearly 55%. However, it looks like this upward momentum is about to face its biggest test yet. SHIB is now facing a major resistance zone. Will it manage to keep going? Here are some takeaways:

  • SHIB faces major resistance at the $0.0000104 mark

  • A rejection at this price could trigger a decisive pullback

  • SHIB however appears to have enough momentum to overcome

How long will SHIB rally?

After gaining 14% over the last 24 hours, SHIB is now outperforming the market. The coin has also reported gains on its fourth straight day. This renewed momentum comes against the backdrop of growing uncertainty in investor sentiment around meme coins. But despite this, SHIB now faces its biggest hurdle as it tries to overcome the $0.0000104 resistance. 

If the coin fails to clear this price, we are likely to see at least a 17% pullback. SHIB will then consolidate and try again. However, we believe that there is enough momentum for SHIB to in fact rise above this mark. 

The coin has rallied in the past 24 hours and is getting closer and closer to $0.0000104. Once the barrier is breached, SHIB could run further by another 25% before any breakdown. This will represent one of the sharpest rebounds in the market in June.

Why is SHIB surging?

As noted above, SHIB is outperforming the entire market during this small recovery phase. It seems though that much of these gains have come as SHIB’s demand among whales grows further. 

We are also seeing some slight improvements in sentiment across the market. As such, trade volume for the meme coin has shot up slightly. If these conditions hold in the near term, SHIB will likely keep rising.

Nexo and Citigroup are in talks for strategic opportunities in crypto lending

Nexo has today announced that it is spearheading talks with Citigroup as it seeks consolidation of the crypto lending space. Citigroup is poised to take the role of a financial advisor.

Through this new relationship with Citigroup and the extensive expertise of its investment arm, Nexo Ventures, Nexo has both the liquidity and the market know-how to lead a successful consolidation in the crypto lending sector.

The crypto lending sector in particular has proved to be in dire need of liquidity amid the ongoing turbulence within the crypto space. A number of crypto lenders like Celsius have been faced with the risk of insolvency as crypto prices nosedived over the past few weeks.

Since the cryptocurrency industry has no central body similar to the Federal Reserve that acts as a last resort for financial institutions at the risk of insolvency, mass consolidation of the crypto industry through mergers and acquisitions (M&A) becomes the way of least resistance for the remaining solvent players.

Stability for companies facing insolvency

Nexo has been doing a lot of acquisitions in the recent past with the main aim being to “instill stability in the companies facing insolvency and, more importantly, to protect retail and other investors who would otherwise be most adversely affected by the failure of multiple crypto lenders” to refund their deposits when requested to do so.

According to Nexo’s co-founder and Managing Partner, Antoni Trenchev:

“We have been approached by multiple Wall Street banks and decided to officially explore the opportunities for acquisition to help stabilize our nascent industry. At Nexo, we have long advocated for the implementation of prudent practices and sustainable business models in our industry, as a result of which the company has amassed a war chest of funds to be used in such aid deals.”

Nexo has been looking for crypto firms that have been adversely affected by the recent crypto market conditions and Citigroup could be a great partner, especially as a fanatical advisor.
