Shiba Inu Price Prediction: 9,000% Liquidation Imbalance Hits After Death Cross – Is SHIB About to Collapse?

After chasing a bottom, a sharp 8,972% liquidation imbalance may have just sent bulls packing as a death cross points to more than just a brief disruption to bullish Shiba Inu price predictions.

Even after the tenth-largest crypto liquidation event on record, bulls still have it rough as the meme coin struggles to find its footing.

Of the $4.96 million in early Wednesday afternoon liquidations, roughly $18,710 came from longs while shorts lost just $208 as traders misplaced hopes of a buy-the-dip event.

Those who positioned themselves for a bounce missed one key trend indicator: the short-term trend of the 20-day SMA now underperforms the mid-term 50-day SMA, confirming a downtrend.

While liquidation events often reset the market by clearing excess leverage and creating a firmer footing, this setup points to deterioration rather than renewal. Structural breakdowns of this kind tend to invite further downside, not relief rallies.

That weakness exposes Shiba Inu’s core vulnerability: adoption. With no meaningful use case to anchor demand, SHIB remains almost entirely reliant on speculative flows

Without a fundamental backbone to absorb sustained selling pressure, Shiba Inu lacks a clear means to fend off a collapse.

Shiba Inu Price Prediction: Is This the Moment SHIB Collapses?

While there has been a clear breakdown of trend, the Shiba Inu price has yet to lose a key bull market proving ground, all-time lows at $0.000006.

This level has consistently marked pivots into bullish phases across previous market cycles, and momentum indicators suggest it may still carry the same historical significance.

The RSI’s breach far below the 30 oversold threshold suggests capitulation may be setting in, often an indicator of seller exhaustion and a prelude to a reversal.

The MACD reads similarly. It continues to close in on a golden cross above the signal line, painting the liquidation event as a short-term setback.

A bounce here could put a year-long falling wedge pattern back on track, eying a potential 450% return to $0.000033 highs if its key breakout threshold at $0.00001 can be reclaimed as support.

Still, the breakdown scenario remains. With limited historical support to cushion further downside, a break below all-time lows could see a 60% pattern breakdown to $0.0000025.

Maxi Doge: Shiba Inu Might Not Be the Right Play

Those who jump to legacy Doge tokens may be playing the game all wrong. When the bull market hits, capital almost always concentrates on one new Doge meme token.

The pattern is clear. Dogecoin ran first, Shiba Inu was next in 2021, followed by Floki, Bonk, Dogwifhat, and Neiro. Every bull cycle eventually crowns a new Doge-inspired frontrunner.

This time around, Maxi Doge ($MAXI) is tapping into those early Dogecoin vibes with a community built around sharing early alpha, trading ideas, and competitive engagement.

Participation is at its core. Weekly Maxi Ripped and Maxi Pump competitions reward top performers with leaderboard recognition, incentives, and bragging rights.

The hype is already showing in the numbers. The $MAXI presale has raised almost $4.6 million, while early backers are earning up to 68% APY through staking rewards.

For those who missed the Doge wave before, Maxi Doge could be the next chance to catch a meme coin before it enters the mainstream.
