Shiba Inu price could rise by 60% as burn rate increases by 3,400%

The Shiba Inu price has declined for two consecutive days despite the burn rate increasing by over 3,400%.

Shiba Inu (SHIB), the second largest meme coin, fell to $0.00002765, down 16.2% from its peak this month.

This decline was mainly due to the ongoing decline in Bitcoin (BTC) and other cryptocurrencies. Bitcoin slipped below $95,000 as the rise to $100,000 appeared hopeless.

Nevertheless, crypto analysts believe that SHIB price has more upside potential now that the altcoin season index has risen to 80. In most time frames, meme coins like Shiba Inu tend to perform well when altcoins are rising.

Another potential catalyst for the coin is the increasing number of Shiba Inu tokens being burned. Data from Shiburn shows the burn rate increased by 3,426% to over 2.02 billion. This means that over 410 trillion tokens have now been burned, bringing the circulating supply to 583 trillion.

Token burns are used to create value for a crypto project by reducing the number of coins in circulation. In the case of Shiba Inu, these burned tokens come from fees from projects like Shibarium and ShibaSwap.

Shibarium is the network’s Layer 2 network, while ShibaSwap is a decentralized exchange where users exchange tokens. Data shows that ShibaSwap has over $26 million in assets, while Shibarium has processed nearly 600 million transactions. The BONE tokens collected on these chains are converted into SHIB and burned.

The technicals suggest a possible SHIB price increase in the near future. A golden cross pattern has formed as the 50-day and 200-day exponential moving averages (EMA) reversed each other. This cross is a popular bullish sign in technical analysis.

Shiba Inu has formed a cup and handle chart pattern, a popular sign of an uptrend continuation. The recent consolidation is part of the handle portion of this pattern.

Its MACD indicator has risen above the zero line while the MVRV indicator has risen to 3.2. Therefore, the coin is likely to rally and retest the previous yearly high of $0.000045, which is about 63% above current levels. A decline below the support at $0.0000022 will invalidate the bullish view.
