Shibarium’s launch could be the bullish trigger Shiba Inu needs

Shiba Inu’s Shytoshi Kusama teased the launch of Shibarium, a long-awaited development in the ecosystem. While Shiba Inu holders await the launch of the layer-2 scaling solution, proponents believe it could act as a bullish trigger for the meme coin. 

In addition to Shibarium release, Shiba Inu’s burn implementation is a key driver of the Dogecoin-killer’s price rally. The Shibburn website revealed that Shiba Inu’s burn rate is up 300% overnight. Over 213 million Shiba Inu tokens were burned in fourteen transactions overnight.

A massive spike in the burn rate fueled a bullish sentiment among holders, however Shiba Inu price failed to recover. Shiba Inu community’s moderators recently considered the possibility of 111 trillion SHIB burn within the next year. A burn of this magnitude could push Shiba Inu’s price higher and yield double-digit gains for holders. 

Shiba Inu price struggles to make a comeback

Analysts evaluated the Shiba Inu price trend and revealed a bearish outlook. Kelvin Maina, a crypto analyst, expects a downward move in Shiba Inu. Maina argues that there is a high likelihood of a decline below the lows of $0.0000116. 

The move past the $0.000014 level could push Shiba Inu towards a high. A trend reversal will be confirmed with a breakout past $0.000014, according to analysts.
