SHIB Price Nears Yearly Low — Can Bulls Defend the $0.0000050 Floor?

Shiba Inu has dropped to a critical price zone, testing support levels that have historically preceded major recoveries. The meme coin reached an intraday low of $0.00000526 on Binance, approaching its 2025 yearly floor of $0.00000507 set on February 6. 

A Price Level With a Track Record

The $0.0000050 price range carries historical significance for SHIB. The token last visited this zone in June 2023, and what followed was a sustained period of bullish price action. Prior to that, the level acted as a floor during earlier bear market cycles. In three years, this zone has been tested only twice, making the current retest notable.

Despite six consecutive red daily candles, SHIB demonstrated resilience at its intraday lows. At the time of writing, Shiba Inu is trading at around $0.00000559, up 5.63% in the last 24 hours. A close above this level is generally viewed by analysts as a prerequisite for any meaningful upside.

Macro Conditions and On-Chain Signals Shape the Outlook

Macro uncertainty remains a dominant force. Geopolitical tensions, including the impact of the Israel-Iran conflict on global oil production, have weighed on risk assets broadly. Iraq's Rumaila oil field reported reduced output, adding pressure to global economic forecasts. These headwinds have dampened sentiment across crypto markets.

Bitcoin has shown relative strength amid these conditions. BTC reclaimed the $68,000 level without recording new lows, a signal that demand remains intact at current prices. Historically, Bitcoin's stabilization has acted as a catalyst for altcoin recovery, and SHIB is no exception.

Bitcoin is trading around $71,649, up 7.69% over the last 24 hours.
