Meme token Shiba inu (SHIB) has completed a major bullish reversal pattern as ETF speculation drives BONK higher.

SHIB surged 5.2% in the past 24 hours, climbing from $0.00001136 to $0.00001195 with significant volume spikes, establishing a new support level at a high-volume support level at $0.00001162.

The upswing marked the completion of the inverse head-and-shoulders (H&S) pattern on the hourly chart, confirming a bullish shift in momentum. An inverse H&S, appearing after a notable sell-off, as in SHIB’s case, comprises three troughs, with the middle one being the lowest and flanked by shallow and equidistant ones on either side.

“Technical indicators suggest continued bullish momentum as SHIB maintains prices above the newly established support levels,” CoinDesk’s AI research said.
