After Its Waning Momentum, Shiba Inu (SHIB) Holders Pivot to RCO Finance

As bearish sentiment mounts, many investors are exploring fresh opportunities beyond the meme sphere.

Shiba Inu (CRYPTO: SHIB) traders are now facing reality as the meme coin’s rally shows signs of fatigue, leading many investors to seek out new opportunities beyond the meme sphere.

As bearish sentiment mounts, several traders are turning their attention to RCO Finance (RCOF), which is currently in its last presale stage. Backed by a $7.5 million Venture Capital infusion, this AI-driven crypto project aims to democratize investing, potentially drawing in Shiba Inu holders who are looking for a major breakout.

Shiba Inu's Sobering Correction

Recent weeks have seen Shiba Inu undergo a sobering correction, with the meme coin dropping more than 85% below its peak of $0.0000725, according to CoinMarketCap data.

While futures traders have ramped up exposure, open interest has surged roughly 43% to $135 million as SHIB continues to struggle to break clear technical barriers.

On daily charts, Shiba Inu clings to its 10- and 20-day exponential moving averages while remaining under its longer-term 50, 100, and 200-day EMAs. However, its 14-day Relative Strength Index sits around 61, suggesting that buying pressure has yet to solidify into a sustained upswing.

Short-term sentiment leans bearish, with only a handful of technical indicators showing buy signals, while a strong resistance at $0.0000128 looms overhead and support near $0.0000113 hangs in the balance.

Moreover, SHIB's supply on centralized exchanges has dwindled to all-time lows, creating a theoretical squeeze if demand reawakens, although such catalysts remain speculative in a market that has largely shifted its gaze to blue-chip tokens and DeFi projects.

Looking further out, some price predictions hint at a possible climb toward $0.009 by year-end, though that would require a dramatic trend reversal. For traders weary of cyclical pullbacks, the search for the next high-potential asset is intensifying.

Enter RCO Finance

Amid the Shiba Inu price uncertainty, RCO Finance (RCOF) has emerged as a viable contender, especially since it's in the last stage of its presale.

Since late 2024, RCO Finance's token presale has raced through six stages, amassing over $17.38 million, including a recent $7.5 million buy-in from a leading venture capital firm.

While retail investors have been pouring into the project in droves, the entry of such a huge institutional investor is a stamp of approval, underscoring strong confidence in RCO Finance's roadmap, with more firms expected to board before the token lists publicly.

So far, the RCOF token has seen a 919% price surge since the presale began and is expected to witness another price surge from the current price of $0.13 to $0.2142 in the final presale stage.

As if that is not enough, industry whispers suggest that RCOF's listing price could be between $0.40 and $0.60, with some forecasting RCOF might smash past $1 in the opening days of trading.

On the product front, the team has already launched its Beta platform, which has seen more than 285,000 registered users.

While the Beta platform continues to evolve, the team is in the final stretch of testing the Alpha platform, which is expected to launch soon.

The Alpha platform is expected to refine the platform's UX and stress-test its AI modules for seamless cross-market execution. Once live, the Alpha environment will cement RCO Finance's promise of a "no-code" investing experience—eliminating traditional KYC hoops and onboarding frictions—while layering in deeper analytics and cross-asset integrations.

In a market craving fresh narratives, RCO Finance has swiftly moved from presale darling to a project on the cusp of wider exchange exposure.
