Robust resistance was established at $0.00001237 level during high-volume liquidation, with support emerging at $0.00001197.
More importantly, the decline marked a downside break of the contracting triangle identified by trendlines connecting Jun. 22 and Sept. 1 lows and May 12 and Jul. 21 highs. In other words, the range play has resolved bearishly, indicating potential for further losses toward the Jun. 22 low of $0.00001004.
The range breakdown saw a volume surge of 5.29 trillion tokens, indicating an institutional liquidation event, according to CoinDesk's market analytics.
Key insights
- SHIB encountered considerable downward pressure throughout the preceding 24-hour period from Sept. 21, 15:00 to Sept. 22, 14:00, retreating from $0.000012888 to $0.000012188, constituting a 5% depreciation.
- The comprehensive trading range extended to $0.000009441 (79%), with the most pronounced movement materialising on Sept. 22, 06:00, when valuations plummeted to $0.000011975 amid exceptionally elevated volumes of 5.29 trillion tokens, thereby establishing formidable resistance at the $0.000012373 threshold.
- Critical support materialized at $0.00001197, accompanied by substantial buying interest, while conventional resistance consolidated around $0.00001290, where valuations consistently encountered downward pressure throughout the initial trading sessions.
SHIB-DOGE bounces from record low
While SHIB fell 5%, dogecoin suffered a bigger loss of over 8%, resulting in a notable recovery in the Binance-listed SHIB-DOGE pair from record lows.
The pair's daily MACD histogram is on track to turn positive, marking a bullish shift in momentum, which suggests that SHIB could continue to outperform DOGE in the coming days.
That said, the overall outlook would remain bearish as long as the descending trendline from the March 2024 highs remains intact.

KuCoin captured a record share of centralised exchange volume in 2025, with more than $1.25tn traded as its volumes grew faster than the wider crypto market.
What to know:
- KuCoin recorded over $1.25 trillion in total trading volume in 2025, equivalent to an average of roughly $114 billion per month, marking its strongest year on record.
- This performance translated into an all-time high share of centralised exchange volume, as KuCoin’s activity expanded faster than aggregate CEX volumes, which slowed during periods of lower market volatility.
- Spot and derivatives volumes were evenly split, each exceeding $500 billion for the year, signalling broad-based usage rather than reliance on a single product line.
- Altcoins accounted for the majority of trading activity, reinforcing KuCoin’s role as a primary liquidity venue beyond BTC and ETH at a time when majors saw more muted turnover.
- Even as overall crypto volumes softened mid-year, KuCoin maintained elevated baseline activity, indicating structurally higher user engagement rather than short-lived volume spikes.
