Shiba Inu Price Update
Shiba Inu (SHIB) is facing mounting pressure, with its price experiencing a 5.57% drop in the past 24 hours. Currently trading around $0.0000241, its market cap stands at $14.1 billion. This recent downturn has raised concerns about SHIB’s short-term drop.
Technical indicators, such as the Bollinger Bands, suggest a potential price decline for SHIB in the short term. The lower band suggests that the token’s price could dip to $0.0000238, with a potential drop to around $0.0000228 as it seeks a local bottom.
Despite the ongoing decline, SHIB is approaching its critical 50 EMA level, which could act as a turning point. If the token finds support at $0.000024, it may attract renewed investor interest and stage a potential recovery.
