The post on X further added that during this period, the community burned a total of 15,493,929 SHIB tokens. However, it also mentioned that a significant 541,922,921 SHIB tokens have been burned in the past seven days, marking a 622% increase.
Current Price Momentum
Despite the rise in token burning, the ongoing bearish market sentiment has sparked hopes of a price recovery. In the crypto industry, when a token or asset is burned from the total supply, it is considered a positive and bullish sign.
However, despite this, SHIB has recorded a 5% price drop in the past 24 hours and is currently trading near $0.0000124. Additionally, during the same period, its trading volume declined by 37%, indicating lower participation from traders and investors compared to the previous day.
Shiba Inu (SHIB) Technical Analysis and Upcoming Levels
With this recent price drop, the meme coin has reached a crucial support level, which it has been testing since March 9, 2025, along the ascending trendline.
Additionally, SHIB’s four-hour chart shows that the meme coin has been forming lower highs and lower lows since February 2025. During this period, SHIB found support at the ascending trendline but later broke down and declined. Since then, it has continued following the same pattern.
Based on historical patterns and recent price action, if the meme coin falls and closes below the $0.00001215 level, there is a strong possibility it could drop by 10% to reach the $0.0000111 level in the coming days.
On the other hand, if this pattern fails, there is a strong chance that the price will soar, leading to a potential reversal.
