Shiba Inu [SHIB]’s recovery back above the $0.000010 price level is an important sign that it has experienced significantly strong demand. This is especially the case after bottoming out slightly below $0.0000080 in June. But should investors be buying considering the latest outcome?
SHIB’s current price floor is a good sign that there is strong demand at that level. However, it does not necessarily guarantee that prices will not drop. Fortunately, there are other aspects to consider that build a strong case for buyers. For example, Shiba Inu’s supply continues to diminish thanks to token burns.
Roughly 56 million Shiba Inu tokens were burnt in the last 24 hours alone according to shibburn.com. It currently has a 29.58% burn rate, which means its supply is gradually reducing. This will compound over time and a lower circulating supply will contribute to SHIB’s long-term value.
While Shiba Inu’s long-term outlook remains firm, short-term volatility means there is more volatility. Looking at the price chart may present some conflicting information. For example, the price has seen some upside and so has the Relative Strength Index (RSI), but the Money Flow Index (MFI) indicates significant outflows in the last few days.
