SHIB Derivatives Market: $1.8M in Bullish Bets Liquidated, Market Sentiment Shifts to Bearish
The recent price drop of Shiba Inu (SHIB) to two-month lows has caused a significant shift in market sentiment, as indicated by the long-short ratio in the perpetual futures market. The ratio has dropped to 0.9298, indicating that traders are more bearish than bullish. This is due to the forced closure or liquidation of long positions worth over $1.8 million since June 12, according to data from Coinglass. During this period, the dollar value of the shorts squeezed out is less than $500,000.
The derivatives market has exhibited growing caution over the past 24 hours, with open interest decreasing by 2.14% to $145.33 million and long liquidations surging to $244,000, compared to just $57,000 in short liquidations. SHIB's price has dropped by 10% to $0.00001164 since June 12, according to data from CoinDesk. However, the minor recovery from Tuesday's two-month low of $0.00001134 is providing bullish hints on short-duration price charts.
Despite the bearish sentiment, SHIB continues to hold support above the critical $0.00001100 level, indicating a potential trend reversal. Technical analysis reveals a minor bullish divergence in the daily RSI, with MACD and signal lines approaching a bullish crossover that could propel SHIB toward the 23.60% Fibonacci level at $0.00001390. Above-average volume confirmed buyer interest with the closing price of $0.00001170, suggesting stabilization above critical support. Hourly RSI indicates oversold conditions, potentially setting up for a technical bounce if the $0.00001168 support level holds.
In summary, while SHIB's recent price drop has caused a shift in market sentiment to bearish, technical analysis and volume data suggest that there is still potential for a trend reversal and a bounce in the near future. Traders should keep a close eye on support and resistance levels and be prepared for potential volatility in the coming days.
