Trader Notes: Crypto trader MrPatrickSchmitt drew parallels between the current market and April 2021, a period marked by sideways movement until Shiba Inu ignited a sudden rally.

While he isn't certain which catalyst might trigger the next wave, he believes history has a way of rhyming.

Shib Knight, another trader from the ShibArmy, said SHIB still has the potential to "make history again." He's watching for the current accumulation phase to end, expecting a move once the sideways action resolves.

In an X post on April 20, crypto trader CW noted that Shiba Inu is now testing the upper boundary of its downtrend channel, and a breakout attempt appears imminent, a move that could catalyze a short-term rally.

Notably, tw million SHIB were burned.

A single transaction accounted for 14.9 million SHIB burned around 19 hours ago.
