Shiba Inu SHIB/USD is up 10% over the past week and traders expect this pattern to continue.

What Happened: With Shiba Inu prices rallying 4.4% in a single day, crypto trader Javon Marks noted that the meme coin is breaking out of its falling wedge pattern. He maintains the larger target at $0.000081 and added this "breakout may only help spark the next wave of an over 480% run to reach it."

Another crypto trader suggests going long on Shiba Inu, as the meme coin is on the sixth attempt to break this resistance.
