Shiba Inu Sees Massive Burn, Price Struggles

SHIBA INU (SHIB)

Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

Shiba Inu (SHIB) witnessed a 690% spike in its burn rate, with over 32.3 million tokens permanently removed from circulation, according to data from Shibburn. Despite this deflationary effort, SHIB’s price slid by 3.3%, reflecting broader crypto market consolidation.

Cumulatively, over 410 trillion SHIB tokens have been burned, a strategic move aimed at reducing supply and potentially boosting value. However, the latest burn hasn’t countered the current bearish sentiment, underscoring the importance of demand in price recovery.

Shiba Inu Price Analysis

As of writing, SHIB trades at $0.00001096, per CoinMarketCap, encountering resistance at the 20-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) near $0.00001222. Technically, the token is consolidating just above the lower Bollinger Band (BB) at $0.00001066, with the middle band at $0.00001253 acting as a pivotal resistance.

A breakout above the EMA and the middle BB could pave the way for a rally toward the upper BB resistance at $0.00001441. However, failure to maintain the $0.00001066 level could lead to a retest of the psychological $0.00001000 support.

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) stands at 35.02, bordering the oversold zone, hinting at a potential short-term bounce—provided buying momentum returns. However, with the RSI still below 50, bearish pressure dominates.

Analyst Eyes 550% Rally

Crypto analyst Javon Marks maintains a bullish outlook, forecasting a SHIB price target of $0.000081—a potential 550% increase. Marks cautioned, however, that a broader market recovery is crucial for this scenario to unfold.

Adding weight to this optimism, IntoTheBlock reports a 784% surge in large holder net flows, while whale inflows jumped 315.4%, signaling intensified institutional interest.

To bolster community sentiment, Lucie, Shiba Inu’s marketing lead, reaffirmed the potential of upcoming ecosystem upgrades. She highlighted Shibarium and ShibOS as future cornerstones, aiming for global adoption and long-term growth.

As SHIB battles resistance zones, eyes remain on key technical levels—and the whales—who may steer the next move.
