- Shiba Inu has been tipped to surge as high as 42% to hit $0.00004 following the formation of a bullish pattern and the closeness to breaking out of the symmetrical triangle pattern.
- The SHIB-themed asset has seen its burn rate spike by 300% in just 24 hours, resulting in the removal of 100 million SHIB tokens from circulation.
Shiba Inu’s tremendous move to trail Dogecoin by just some $3 billion in a couple of weeks was short-lived after the resilience of the Doge-themed asset widened the gap to $8 billion. At press time, Shiba Inu is trading at $0.00002885 with a market cap of $16 billion.
Dogecoin, on the other hand, had a market cap of $28 billion, positioning it as the 8th largest crypto with a trading price of $0.1998.
According to analysts, on-chain data suggests that Shiba Inu could stage an explosive run into the top ten largest cryptos by market cap. As indicated by major analytic platforms, the active SHIB deposits or daily transfers of Shib tokens from investors to various exchanges have experienced a massive decline. This is a bullish signal according to experienced traders. In simple terms, the Shiba tokens are changing hands from short-term investors to long-term investors.
From a technical point of view, Shiba Inu is close to breaking out of the symmetrical triangle pattern at the current price. This pattern is formed when two converging trend lines meet, indicating indecision in the market. According to multiple analysts, this potential upward trend could be triggered by the upcoming Bitcoin halving and facilitated by the burning mechanism’s intensity.
Shiba Inu Burn Rate and the Rising Activities on Shibarium Could Trigger the Price Move
As Crypto News Flash published in December 2023, Shiba Inu has strategically reduced the token supply in a two-phase process. The manual phase has already been completed with the Automatic transition still on course. According to the team, the burn rate depends on the activities on the network. The ultimate goal is to drastically reduce the supply of 999,982,362,289,250 Shib tokens, making it scarce and valuable in the long run.
As Shibarium experiences an increase in the number of transactions and a significant rise in gas fees – by as much as 1000% – the token burning also grows exponentially. This correlation is key: the more the network is adopted and used, the more tokens will be burned, creating a self-sustaining cycle of growth and value appreciation.
According to current data, the burn rate has spiked by 300% in the last 24 hours, leading to 100 million SHIB tokens being removed from circulation. In addition to this, the layer-2 blockchain solution Shibarium is expected to drive the price upwards with a significant increase in activities since inception.
As shown by Shibariumscan, 411.447 transactions have been completed on the network so far. On top of that, 1.395 million total addresses have been recorded in addition to 72k total accounts. BONE transfers facilitated on the network have also reached 1.713 million with 16.207k total contracts recorded.
The asset is predicted to surge by 42% to hit $0.00004205. When this upward move fails, Shiba Inu could lose its support of $0.00002584 to peg at $0.00002268. This would invalidate the bullish predictions.
