Shiba Inu (SHIB) has recently fallen to around a two-month low, and an analysis says the current price range is a "scaling-in buying opportunity".

On May 18, blockchain media outlet The Crypto Basic reported that Shiba Inu fell more than 13 percent last week and closed at $0.00000573. It dropped as far as $0.00000558 intraday, the lowest level since early March.

Cryptocurrency analyst Szymanski rated the current price range as worth watching from a buying perspective. With Shiba Inu down to a multi-month low, he judged that risk-adjusted expected returns could rise if market conditions improve.

He suggested a scaling-in strategy that divides purchases into price bands rather than buying all at once. He said Shiba Inu is retesting lows where rebounds occurred in the past, bringing it into a price range where entry can be considered. Shiba Inu fell to $0.00000523 on March 8 and $0.00000507 on Feb. 6 this year, then rebounded to $0.00000670 last week, marking gains of about 28 to 32 percent.

Technical momentum remains limited. The 21-week exponential moving average (EMA) is acting as a key resistance level.

Shiba Inu rose to around $0.0000066 during a recent rebound but failed to break above that zone. The level has also acted as resistance in the past, blocking upside momentum. As a result, markets are watching the demand zones at $0.00000520 and $0.00000500 if further adjustment continues.

Near-term direction is also tied to bitcoin. Recent downside pressure on Shiba Inu grew after bitcoin plunged on May 18 to the $76,000 level. Shiba Inu's price path is likely to be influenced by how bitcoin and major cryptocurrencies move over the next few days.

In derivatives markets, bearish signals were clearer. Shiba Inu is trading at $0.00000567, down 3 percent over 24 hours. Over the same period, about $297,950 in leveraged positions was liquidated, and more than 95 percent of that was long positions. Open interest also fell nearly 12 percent in a day. That suggests futures traders turned cautious after liquidations expanded.

By contrast, trading volume rose 12 percent over the same period. Flow-of-funds data also showed signs that spot selling activity increased. Shiba Inu now appears to have entered a zone where expectations for dip buying and short-term selling pressure collide.

Ultimately, Shiba Inu's short-term trajectory depends on whether it can defend support around $0.00000500 and break through resistance at $0.0000066. If support holds, the scaling-in view could gain traction, but further declines are also hard to rule out if bitcoin weakness persists and derivatives-market liquidation pressure grows.

The current zone holds both dip-buying appeal and technical instability. For Shiba Inu to confirm a rebound, it will likely need more than a simple increase in trading volume, along with easing spot selling pressure and a recovery of key resistance levels.

SHIB is at the lowest it has ever been for months now. I'd recommend going in at this beautiful rate. Not financial advice though... pic.twitter.com/OpB0xYwrdJ
