Additional new use cases offered by innovations such as ShibaSwap, Shibarium, Shiba Eternity and the like may have played a vital role in the continual growth of hodlers, as these long-term addresses may have wanted to keep their holdings to benefit from these innovations.

SHIB price shift imminent

The volatility indicator from IntoTheBlock measures price fluctuations for a certain crypto asset. The current volatility of Shiba Inu is 70.24%. July 1 saw the highest volatility in the last 30 days, at 75.72%.

High volatility generally means large price fluctuations (either up or down). Low volatility, on the other hand, indicates price stagnation.

Large jumps in volatility usually indicate a trend reversal. Thus, periods of extremely high volatility may be an indicator of the price potentially reverting its direction to the mean. Meanwhile, low volatility tends to indicate an impending significant breakout in either direction.

At the time of writing, SHIB was down 2.52% in the last 24 hours to $0.0000075.
