CoinMarketCap's figures indicate that Shiba Inu's volume increased a mere 1.53% over the past day, reaching $109.72 million. This might signify traders less convinced about recent price.

Derivatives market signals a bit of a red flag

Traders are still not convinced, judging by trading positions. Despite this, SHIB's open interest climbed almost 3% over the past day, reaching $53.11 million, even as funding rates held steady.

This could mean the groundwork for a rebound is being laid, though more robust demand might be necessary to solidify a lasting price shift.
