According to CoinMarketCap data, Shiba Inu is demonstrating a 30% rise in trading volumes despite the recent market drop.

Fifteen trillion SHIB, or 15,871,804,471,893 worth $160,040,063, have been swapped within the last 24 hours. Increased volatility often leads to higher trading volumes for most crypto assets as expert traders buy and sell large quantities to capture profits. Thus, the rise in SHIB volume may have been caused by investors accumulating SHIB at its current lows.

Traders might have been scrambling to take advantage of the opportunity presented by the recent SHIB consolidation at $0.000010. Since Oct. 10, SHIB has failed to advance past the $0.000010 range, with bears occasionally threatening to bring it below the $0.000009 level.
