Shiba Inu Price Drops

While writing, the Shiba Inu price noted a drop of 4.18% over the past 24 hours and is currently trading at $0.00003105. Intriguingly, the token traded primarily in the green today, per CoinMarketCap’s data. However, SHIB suddenly recorded a dip, aligning with the meme coin’s derivatives data.

Insights unveiled by Coinglass showcased a substantial 26.53% dip in the coin’s open interest, whereas its volume jotted a fall of 54.88%. This hinted at reduced money entering into the market and also hinted at declining market activity for SHIB, birthing bearish sentiments.

However, as seen in SHIB’s recent chronicles, Shiba Inu rallied remarkably following the developments portrayed by the Shiba crypto community in recent days. Setting sights on these previous price action shifts, crypto market enthusiasts expect to see bolstered prices for the meme coin ahead, aligning with the SHIB’s prior endeavors.
