According to IntoTheBlock data, 108.19 trillion SHIB are being held by 115,240 Shiba Inu addresses in the range between $0.000019 and $0.000023.
The 108 trillion SHIB held at this key level serves as a key support for the Shiba Inu price, with bulls showing a strong determination to maintain it. This range has proven to be a floor for SHIB price since late December, halting further declines and fueling optimism for a potential rebound.
However, a breach below this level might result in a wave of selling pressure, causing SHIB to test the next support zone at $0.000014 and $0.000019. The next crucial resistance zones, however, are $0.000023 and $0.000025, where 77.61 trillion SHIB are held by Shiba Inu addresses, which, if surpassed, might pave the way for a bigger bullish breakout.
