Market Update: SHIB Downtrend Nears End, ETH Mini-Death Cross Not Alarming, BTC at $80K Pivot
SHIB: Shiba Inu’s prolonged corrective downtrend, which erased roughly 50% from local highs, shows signs of exhaustion. Price remains below major moving averages but recent declines are shallower, selling volume has faded, and momentum indicators (RSI) are stabilizing — suggesting supply is drying up and a base or rapid retrace is possible.
ETH: Ethereum formed a short-term “mini” death cross on the daily chart (short moving average below a longer one), but the signal lacks typical bearish confirmation: no surge in sell volume, RSI not deeply oversold, and price compressing between a falling MA and rising local trendline. The cross likely reflects prior distribution rather than a fresh start of a major bear trend.
BTC: Bitcoin’s pullback toward the $80,000 area followed a rollover from $100k–$105k and leveraged liquidations. However, downside follow-through has weakened — initial volume spikes were front-loaded and subsequent drops show lower participation. The $80k–$82k zone aligns with past demand pockets; staying above it and forming higher lows could shift the narrative from breakdown to reset and open a path back to ~$90k.
Trading takeaways: SHIB may offer mean-reversion or base-formation trades if buyers return; watch for rising volume on bounces. ETH’s mini-death cross should not be treated as a strong sell signal—monitor support trendline and any spike in sell volume for confirmation. BTC’s behavior around $80k is critical: maintain risk controls; a sustained hold above $80–82k favors recovery, while a decisive break lower would be bearish.

Neutral
The article presents cautious, technical observations across three assets rather than fresh macro catalysts or regulatory shocks. Indicators point to seller exhaustion for SHIB, a non-confirmatory ‘mini’ death cross for ETH, and a pivotal support test for BTC around $80k. These conditions generally signal consolidation and potential mean reversion rather than an outright directional shift. Short-term implications: increased range-bound trading, opportunities for mean-reversion or dip-buy setups if confirmatory volume appears; volatility may persist around key levels (SHIB basing zone, ETH support trendline, BTC $80–82k). Long-term implications: unless a decisive break (BTC below $80k with growing sell volume, ETH break of rising support, or renewed large-volume distribution in SHIB) occurs, the market remains in corrective/resetting mode and could resume previous uptrends if liquidity and macro sentiment improve. Historical parallels include past post-liquidation pullbacks where initial sharp declines were followed by low-volume consolidation and eventual recovery (e.g., post-leverage flushes in previous bull cycles). Traders should watch volume, RSI, and moving-average behavior for confirmation and manage leverage and stop placement accordingly.
