SHIB price action

Following a slump from late July, Shiba Inu reached a low of $0.0000116 on Aug. 2, from which it rebounded. After a few days of range trading, Shiba Inu is once again trading above the daily SMA 50 at $0.00001272 after falling below it on July 30. The next major barrier now lies at the daily SMA 200 at $0.00001371, with a break above it signifying a fresh uptrend for the dog coin.
