Why Token Burns Matter?

Shiba Inu has more than 588 Trillion tokens in supply which keeps it price way low. To deflate or increase the price of Shiba Inu, the supply is to be reduced. Token burns reduce the active supply.

The entire concept follows the Law of Demand and Supply which in this context states that if demand is constant and supply is reduced, the price will increase.

Till date, the total number of tokens burnt are 410 Trillion and 707 Billion, out of which 410 Trillion tokens were burnt by Vitalik Buterin alone.

Though it is unlikely that token burns will produce any noticeable changes in the near future, but over a long term, they surely will contribute towards a reduced supply.

Taking a look at $SHIB price which was around $0.00000939 at the time of writing this article. Since Dec 25, 2023, it is in a downtrend. The price touched the resistance level of $0.00001108 twice on Dec 23 and Dec 25 but failed to cross the price levels.

Looking at the daily charts, we can observe that:

• The volume has been towards the buying side since Jan 08, 2024 which is a positive sign since there is more buying than selling.
• RSI has been in a continuous fall since Dec 16, 2023. It has reversed from the levels of 40 and could rally soon. For a bull market, the levels of RSI 40 are considered as reversal zones.
• MACD also shows the peak of a negative crossover which means the price might reverse soon.

Prices Might Rally by 18%

It seems from the daily charts that there is a scope for imminent price reversal from current levels to $0.00001108 which shows an upside possibility of 18%.

After reaching $0.00001108, there is a possibility for further rally as the overall mood of the market is bullish considering Bitcoin ETF news. If bulls take over at $0.00001108, the price then may head towards $0.00001485, more than 50% upside from current levels. On the downside the levels of $0.00000818 seems to be a good support.

Its safe to keep a stoploss at $0.00000818 to prevent unnecessary loss of capital.
