On-chain data trends suggest that the boost in SHIB burn rate has been pivotal to the Shiba Inu’s resilient price action Insights culled from the unveiled by the meme coin’s official Shibburn tracker showed a staggering 4205% surge at press time on February 22.
This comes as Shiba Inu team introduces fresh initiatives to continues showcasing efforts to support Shiba Inu’s tokenomics.
The latest SHIB burn spike has been driven by the launch of SHEboshi, an ERC-404 token standard, aimed at revolutionizing the Shiba Inu’s ecosystem, facilitating the burning of SHIB, BONE, and LEASH, among many other features introduced.
The constant burning of SHIB is a built in mechanism designed to systematically reduce the meme coin’s circulating supply.
When the burn rate spikes dramatically as observed above, strategic investors interpret it as a bullish signal for a number of reasons. Firstly, its signals intense on-chain activity within the network. Secondly, the reduction in market supply, albeit minimal, improves investor sentiment in the short term.
After multiple bullish attempts by Shiba Inu LONG traders in recent weeks, the $0.00001 price resistance has weakened. If the SHEboshi hype generates positive market momentum as predicted. Investors can anticipate a major upswing toward $0.000015 in the coming weeks.
However, the Bollinger Upper Band currently shows that the SHIB price face a major obstacle at the $0.000011 area in the event of a price uptrend.
But on the downside, the bull can count on the support buy-wall at the 20-day SMA price of $0.000095 to prevent a major downswing.
