To date, the Shiba Inu ecosystem has burned a total of 410.73 trillion SHIB, leaving over 583.59 trillion SHIB in circulation. This surge in burn rate has brought in an expectation over SHIB’s price, as it likely indicates a price rally.

Notably, SHIB appears to be at a critical threshold. In the morning hours, the meme coin traded at a high of $0.00001913, and it began to slide to the current price levels.

At press time, SHIB traded at $0.00001742, with the trading volume staying at around $508 million, according to CMC data. Moreover, the market observed a liquidation of $1.45 million worth of Shiba Inu during this timeframe. 

Where is SHIB’s Price Headed Next?

Technical analysis of the SHIB/USDT trading pair indicates the bearish sentiment. The chart displays the daily relative strength index (RSI) positioned at 37.95, suggesting the weakness of the asset. Moreover, the asset’s short-term 9-day MA is situated below the long-term 21-day MA. 

The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) line sits below the signal line, highlighting the ongoing negative outlook, which might lead to the incoming bear run.
