What’s Next For Shiba Inu’s Price?

Despite the significant transaction, SHIB’s price performance has seen only mild activity. Over the past day, the token has experienced a minimal movement of about 0.1%, reaching its present trading price of $0.000009623. However, this movement reflects a decline of approximately 1.53% over the last seven days.

According to crypto analyst King Thies, SHIB’s price is attempting to reach $0.00001 but faces resistance at the $0.0000098 mark. As a result, the price has remained relatively stagnant around this level for more than a week.

Interestingly, SHIB’s mild price performance occurs amidst significant growth in the Shiba Inu ecosystem. Recently, the digital asset rapidly sold out of two phases of its Sheboshi NFT collections shortly after its launch. A major influencer within its ecosystem hinted that this aligns with the broader innovative advancements that would transform it from a meme coin into a blockchain with practical utility.
