The Big Picture

Activity on the Shiba Inu mainnet has recently experienced a downward trend. In the past week, the number of new addresses joining the network has decreased by 8%, while the count of active addresses has dropped by over 15%.

An address is considered active when it directly participates in a successful transaction, while new addresses indicate fresh entrants to the ecosystem. On the most recent day, only 877 new participants joined the Shiba Inu ecosystem, with the number of active addresses totaling 2,650. This ongoing decline is currently discouraging.

The price of SHIB has also been on a downtrend for a considerable period. The daily chart consolidates near the lower end of this downtrend, indicating weakening demand for SHIB. Typically, such a pattern suggests bearish sentiment, and if the price breaks below the lower support level, it implies that the downtrend is likely to persist.

However, SHIB has established a strong support level and has been attempting to surpass the downtrend line. If a breakout occurs, it could favor the bullish side moving forward.t press time, SHIB was trading at $0.00000862, showing a 0.23% increase on the daily chart.
