Shiba Inu price risk skewed to the downside

Shiba Inu price has sliced below the lower boundary of the descending triangle pattern at $0.00002492 on the daily chart, suggesting a pessimistic forecast of a 35% decline toward $0.00001600. 

The Arms Index (TRIN) which gauges overall market sentiment suggests that there is a massive increase in sellers than buyers in the market. 

The canine-themed token has already kickstarted a descent as selling pressure significantly increased, and SHIB is still awaiting a 28% fall toward the aforementioned pessimistic target. 

Additional footholds will appear at the October 8 low at $0.00002060, then at the 127.2% Fibonacci extension level at $0.00001744 before dropping toward the pessimistic target.

However, if buying pressure increases, Shiba Inu price may face an immediate obstacle at the October 15 low at $0.00002333 before meeting another hurdle at the 200-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) at $0.00002449, near the lower boundary of the governing technical pattern.
