Shiba Inu price
Shiba Inu’s price has been relatively stagnant, despite the burns. As explained in a recent article, Shiba Inu’s circulating supply has remained almost the same since June last year, covertly pointing out why SHIB burns have a nearly negligible impact on the price of the asset.
Over the past day, Shiba Inu merely inclined by 0.1%. On Monday, May 29, SHIB was trading at $0.000008808. As pointed out in a recent article, SHIB’s price has slight room to glide up at the moment. Its next major resistance only lies around $0.000009. That’s the average price at which 24.38k addresses scooped up a whopping 23.2 trillion SHIB tokens. So, if the buying pressure gains steam and the broader market conditions favor it, then SHIB could note a brief uptick and gradually incline to the aforementioned average buy price over the short term.
