“SHIB’s Bollinger Bands Contract to Levels Not Seen Since Early 2024 Amidst Recent Market Pullback”
Shiba Inu (SHIB) is flashing its most significant technical warning since 2024 as the meme coin’s Bollinger Bands contract to their tightest level in two-and-a-half years. This extreme volatility squeeze, occurring after a 13.8% weekly decline, historically precedes major price movements in the SHIB market.
Critical Technical Setup
- Current Price: $0.00001218 (+5% from weekly low)
- Bollinger Band Width: Narrowest since February 2024
- Implied Volatility: Down 42% in 14 days
- Market Context: Holding $7.2B market cap despite recent pullback
The Compression Effect
Bollinger Band squeezes of this magnitude have led to average 30-day moves of:
- +217% (May 2021 breakout)
- -38% (June 2022 breakdown)
- +320% (February 2024 rally)
