A noted Bitcoin adviser has warned that Shiba Inu faces an uphill climb unless 
it retakes a prior support band, a call that has stirred debate across crypto 
social channels. Related Reading: Institutions Scoop Up 9,000 Ether, Fueling 
Bullish Signals According to posts by BingX Bitcoin adviser Nebraskan Gooner, 
the token must return above a horizontal region he marked between $0.000014 
and $0.00001 to avoid a “dead” outlook. Key Support Level Under Scrutiny 
Gooner’s chart points to a multi-year zone that once acted as firm support. 
Reports show SHIB touched that band and later surged to about $0.000045 in 
early March 2024. The importance of the area is highlighted by the token’s 
price action: it has spent much of Q4 2025 below that range, and at the time 
of reporting SHIB was trading around $0.000008618. That places the coin 
roughly 33–38% below the $0.000013–$0.000014 region that many traders watch as 
critical. $SHIB Dead unless it reclaims red. pic.twitter.com/LOllFuyPYv —

Trouble Ahead Breaking a long-held support level often flips buying interest 
into resistance, and that scenario is what traders fear here. Based on reports 
from market commentators, a failure to climb back into the red band would make 
upward moves harder and likely sap momentum. Gooner used blunt language, 
saying “Dead unless it reclaims red” unless the token reclaims the zone. The 
phrase was repeated widely, feeding both bearish calls and pushback from 
supporters. Community Response And Roadmap Calls Across social threads, many 
users argued that SHIB is not unique; several altcoins appear stalled in the 
current phase. A number of holders said SHIB’s recovery chances may hinge on a 
wider altcoin rebound, sometimes called altcoin season. According to Zach 
Humphries, members of the Shiba Inu project must refocus every ecosystem 
initiative around SHIB, reposition the token to attract renewed retail 
interest, and publish a clear, actionable roadmap to restore earlier momentum. 
Bitcoin’s Role In A Possible Comeback Some analysts pointed to Bitcoin as the 
likely spark for any broad recovery, expecting the alpha coin to rebound 
toward $125,000 from around $90,000, while others have projected a new peak 
near $150,000 in 2026. If Bitcoin climbs above $100,000, traders say 
speculative flows could return and lift meme tokens including SHIB. Related

Snapshot And What Comes Next Short-term price moves show SHIB up 0.95% in the 
past 24 hours but down 4.8% over the last week. Many market observers 
emphasize that a return into the highlighted $0.000014–$0.00001 area would 
improve technical odds for a rally. At the same time, others warn that even 
with historical liquidity and a large community, reclaiming a broken support 
is often difficult and can take time. The coming weeks will likely test 
whether market-wide momentum or renewed project direction can change SHIB’s 
path. Featured image from Unsplash, chart from TradingView
