Leading meme coin Shiba Inu [SHIB] may extend its month-long decline as volatility markers assessed on a weekly chart show the coin’s market remains significantly volatile.

Readings from the coin’s volatility markers observed on a weekly chart showed that SHIB remains prone to a further price decline as volatility lingers in the market.
For example, the gap between the upper and lower bands of the coin’s Bollinger Bands indicator has widened.
This indicator measures market volatility and identifies potential price trends. When the gap between its upper and lower bands widens, it suggests a spike in the volatility in the price of the asset in question.
Also, if this gap is widening as the price of the asset trends in a particular direction, it signals that the trend is strengthening.
In SHIB’s case, its persistent price decline, combined with the widening gap of its Bollinger Bands, suggests that the downtrend is strong.
Confirming the volatile nature of SHIB’s market, its Average True Range was in an uptrend at press time.
This metric measures market volatility by calculating the average range between high and low prices over a specified number of periods. When it surges, it suggests that the price swings are becoming more significant.
Likewise, SHIB’s Chaikin Volatility indicator has remained relatively flat since the end of March. This indicator measures the difference between an asset’s high and low prices over a specified period.
Generally, when the Chaikin Volatility indicator rallies to return higher values, it signals significant potential price swings.
