What's Going On With 'Dogecoin Killer' Shiba Inu?

Zinger Key Points
  • Despite Shiba Inu's stagnant performance, its burn rate surged by 234% over 24 hours.
  • Large transaction volumes fell by 65%, with only 46% of SHIB holders in profit.

Shiba Inu's SHIB/USD meandering performance despite rising burns rates did little to discourage traders’ optimism about the future.

What Happened: Shibburn data shows the burn rate surging by 234% in the past 24 hours, with one transaction burning 1.06 million SHIB. This marks the third consecutive day of rising burn rates.

Crypto trader Armando Pantoja thinks Shiba Inu's correction is over and sees the meme coin already in the “prime buying range.”

He added that "Shib is about to explode past macro resistance with a bullish RSI divergence."  He predicts that Shiba Inu is going to $0.001 and "fear of missing out" is going to set in.

Price Action: In the past 24 hours, SHIB is down 6%, mirroring the broader crypto market weakness.
