Shiba Inu’s price chart turns green
While the meme coin’s burn rate dropped in 2024, its price action gained bullish momentum. According to CoinMarketCap, SHIB was up by nearly 5% in the last 24 hours.
At the time of writing, it was trading at $0.0000108 with a market capitalization of over $6.3 billion. The good news was that SHIB’s volume increased along with its price, acting as a foundation for the price uptick.
AMBCrypto found that buying pressure on SHIB was also increasing as its exchange reserve dropped in the recent past. Not only that, but both SHIB’s active addresses and transfer volume went up, which can be interpreted as positive signals.
