Shiba Inu (SHIB) saw an over 2000% hike in burn rate, leading to the removal of 20.83 million tokens from circulation. As the burn rate increased, analysts and investors contemplated how this would impact the top meme coin price.

Shiba Inu Burn Rate Surge Explained

On April 15, Shiba Inu saw an extraordinary increase in its burn rate, with over 20 million SHIB tokens being burned within 24 hours. Shibburn data showed a surge in the burn rate at 2061.22% which led to the elimination of 20.83 million sHIB tokens from general circulation.

Through its burn mechanism, SHIB transfers tokens to a null address, making them unrecoverable from circulation and decreasing SHIB supply. Fewer circulating tokens usually create positive sentiment for the token. It aims at reducing supply generally generating upward market momentum for price.

However, there have been mixed opinions concerning the Shiba Inu price trend in the market. Some believe the burn may lead to further price increases in the long run. While others remain skeptical about the long-term impact due to the over 584 trillion SHIB tokens currently in circulation as of the time of writing.

Analyst Predicts Pump If SHIB Breaks $0.00001238

Amid the spike in burn rates, some analysts have suggested that there may be a Shibu Inu price rally soon. A popular SHIB community influencer, SHIB Knight, suggested that a new pump wave is coming and pointed out that if $0.00001238 is breached, then it is going to be bullish for SHIB.

Moreover, the influencer observed that $0.00001238 is a very important technical resistance level. If the price breaches this level, it may imply that a shift in trend has taken place, leading to a rally.

SHIB price has been rising and falling within the high and low range, and getting past $0.00001238 is a significant step for SHIB price to move in a certain direction.

SHIB Price Action and Technical Analysis

On the technical indicators, Shiba Inu 4-hour Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) presented a bullish pattern as the MACD line was above the signal line, providing for a potential upward movement.

Further supporting the possibility of continued bullish movement, the MACD histogram was positive. Nonetheless, the MACD is close to the zero line, presenting a cautious outlook if the price does not sustain the current bullish formation.

Additionally, the stochastic RSI for SHIB on the 4-hour chart was at the level of 2.11, meaning the token is oversold. The indicator is approaching the lower border, which sometimes acts as a portent that the price might reverse upwards if buying pressure builds up.

A value below 20 on the Stochastic RSI generally indicates potential bullish signals, but there is a need for caution due to the risk of further downward momentum in the short term.

Meanwhile, according to a recent analysis, Davinci Jeremie noted that Shiba Inu price faced strong resistance to achieving its targets. He emphasized that SHIB attaining a $1 value would require a market capitalization exceeding $600 trillion, making such a goal unattainable.

What to Expect from Price?

The SHIB community has maintained its backing of token burning, demonstrated by an increased burn rate to 401% at the time of the analysis. The market cap of SHIB has reached $7.32 billion to reflect rising investor optimism.

At the time of writing, Shiba Inu price was trading at $0.00001193 and had dropped by 3% in one-day trading. Nevertheless, this price reduction happened when the burn rate was on the rise, and as pointed out, once the price rises above the resistance, it may experience an ascending movement in the short term.
