• Shiba Inu investors have increased by more than 21,000 in a month.

• SHIB is currently consolidating with a potential breakout.

• Investors can buy now to lock value, although further declines are possible.

As of July 11, the number of investors holding Shiba Inu SHIB/USD was 1,199,539. The number is a jump from 1,178,157 as of June 12, according to data by CoinMarketCap. The monthly jump in SHIB investors happens despite the current crypto bear sentiment. 

The growth in investors also comes along with a rising utility of Shiba Inu. Shiba Inu is slowly relinquishing its meme tag by innovating in the payments and metaverse areas. The network plans for a Shiba Inu metaverse, where users can play games and own virtual lands. No specific date is given for the launch of the metaverse, although it is expected this year. Investors are positioning themselves for a potential increase in the utility of Shiba Inu. 

The increase in investors holding SHIB may not accurately predict a price jump. However, it suggests that investors are expecting the price to pump following the recent declines. We believe that SHIB presents a short-term opportunity. The crypto-token could pump once a key breakout occurs.

From the daily chart, Shiba Inu is consolidating. The MACD indicator is slightly bullish. The token keeps $0.00001 support intact. SHIB investors should watch for a breakout from the $0.00001 to the $0.000012 consolidation zone. Short-term focused investors can buy the bottom at $0,00001 and ride up to $0.000012. However, the price jump is speculative, and the price could drop below the support. A long-term buy is recommended at the current level. Alternatively, investors should consider buying after a break above the $0.000012 resistance. 

Summary

Shiba Inu is consolidating as more investors add positions. The price could rise from the $0.00001 level. The token faces resistance at $0.000012.

• Sandbox’s SAND was resisted at the $1.3 level.

• The price is currently bearish but could be contained by the $0.9 support.

• Investors should watch for a potential breakout.

$1.3 remains a key level to watch for Sandbox’s native token SAND/USD. The metaverse token showed renewed hopes last month after jumping from a bottom of $0.75. At the current trading of $1.1, SAND is recovering, although an immediate resistance holds it back.

Metaverse tokens such as SAND boomed last year at the back of the growth of virtual reality blockchains. This year, activity has slowed, although firms are still showing interest.

Citi strategists believe the metaverse economy is $8 trillion to $13 trillion in addressable value. With such huge potential, metaverse tokens such as SAND remain viable for keen investors. However, the recent bearish crypto sentiment has been a hit for SAND. The weakness should not concern a keen investor looking for long-term gains. In the short-term, SAND eyes a breakout that investors should monitor.

Technically, SAND has been consolidating since May. The token’s established resistance is at $1.3, while the support is at $0.9. The price of the metaverse token has oscillated between these two regions for around 2 months. The level is a critical make-or-break zone for SAND as the cryptocurrency resists going lower. 

The MACD indicator is showing a bearish signal. The line is about to cross below the moving average to confirm the bear move. The level reflects the current correction after the cryptocurrency was resisted at $1.3. The short-term 14-day and 21-day moving averages are also above price. The current sentiment on SAND is bearish. Nonetheless, the correction could end once $0.9 support is reached.

Summary

Sandbox’s SAND is technically strong above $0.9 support. The $1.3 resistance holds the price back. A potential break above the $1.3 resistance would usher a fresh bullish momentum.
