Shiba Inu delivered its strongest price performance in weeks as improving macro sentiment triggered a broad relief rally across global markets.

Notably, Shiba Inu ranks among the key beneficiaries of the renewed risk appetite, supported by a notable surge in derivatives activity that signaled fresh trader interest. 

Key Points 

• Shiba Inu surged nearly 8% on Monday, rising from $0.0000057 to $0.0000062. 
• Open interest has surged tremendously, increasing 9.27% to $49.14 million. 
• Market volatility triggered $62,490 in liquidations over 24 hours, with long positions accounting for $37,380. 
• Analysts suggest SHIB is nearing a breakout from a descending triangle pattern. 

Shiba Inu Recent Performance 

On Monday, SHIB climbed sharply from approximately $0.0000057 to $0.0000062, marking a gain of nearly 8%. This rally represented its most significant daily performance since mid-February. 

Additionally, open interest in SHIB derivatives jumped by as much as 18%, confirming that traders were actively repositioning. Although the token briefly retraced to around $0.000006047, it quickly regained momentum and moved back above $0.0000062. At press time, SHIB traded at $0.000006247, reflecting a 2.09% increase over the past 24 hours.

Meanwhile, derivatives data show that open interest remains elevated, rising 9.27% to $49.14 million within a day. 

SHIB Liquidation Hits $62K in 24 Hours; Analyst Eyes Potential Triangle Breakout 

However, this volatility has also triggered liquidations across the market. In the past 24 hours alone, total liquidations reached $62,490, with long traders accounting for the majority at $37,380, while short positions made up roughly $25,120. 

Despite these fluctuations, bulls have continued to defend the critical $0.0000060 support level since the start of the Monday rally. This resilience has strengthened the case for a potential breakout.

Notably, analyst Leeron Shim noted that SHIB is approaching a breakout from a descending triangle pattern formed in mid-February. Previous attempts to break this structure on March 16 failed, leading to price declines. However, Shim suggested that current support from the 100-day moving average could provide the strength needed for a successful breakout. 

Factors Required for Breakout 

For confirmation, he noted that SHIB must close above the descending resistance trendline and attract fresh capital. If achieved, the token could retest its January peak near $0.00001009. 

In the meantime, accumulation trends support this outlook. Recent data shows that investors have been withdrawing significant amounts of SHIB from exchanges, signaling a preference for holding. 

Specifically, about $6.75 million in SHIB has been withdrawn, compared with $5.98 million in inflows over the past day. This results in net outflows of roughly $746,910, equivalent to over 119 billion SHIB leaving exchanges.
