The surge in SHIB’s market value is attributed to a combination of factors, including increased investor interest, strategic partnerships, and recent technological upgrades.
Moreover, the latest achievement is backed by a perfect technical analysis score of 100 for SHIB, as spotlighted by Lucie. The Shiba Inu market lead posted a video that suggests the SHIB price to have a “very bullish” trajectory in the future. This score suggests that SHIB is poised for further growth, driven by strong market sentiment and technical indicators.
Earlier, during the March 2024 rally, the Shiba Inu meme coin had surpassed Cardano. However, within a month ADA took its place back owing to a massive bearish trend that led to significant losses in the SHIB price. Nonetheless, the latest surge makes up for it.
