In every market cycle comes the accumulation phase, whereby prices flatten and contrarian investors see the opportunity to jump in and scoop up discounts. This continues to be seen for Shiba Inu.
SHIB price action
Shiba Inu's market capitalization dipped and fell out of the top 10 cryptocurrencies, but whales and dip buyers are calming the waters and allowing a semi-orderly rebound of the meme token.
At press time, SHIBA INU's price action has met strong buying interest near recent lows at $0.00003425, where major support from the daily chart keeps the uptrend intact with a 24-hour trading volume of $1,169,504,576.
