The SHIB-burn effect
As of last week, SHIB gained 3%, which can be considered as a satisfactory gain. However, at the time of writing, the alt was down by 6% in the last seven days. At press time, SHIB was trading at $0.00001175 with a market capitalization of $6,450,286,234.
A major reason for this decline could be the after effects of the Merge, which pushed several altcoins’ prices downward. But several other metrics were also to blame for SHIB’s recent price decline.
For instance, the Market Value Realized Value (MVRV) Ratio went down along with the daily active addresses. These can be taken as bearish signals suggesting a further downtrend in the coming days.

SHIBA at crossroads
SHIB’s daily chart revealed an ambiguous scenario as certain market indicators suggested a downtrend while others pointed out a possible trend reversal. The Exponential Moving Average (EMA) Ribbon registered a bearish crossover, which further increases the chances of a price decline soon.
The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) also painted a similar picture as it showed a bearish edge in the market. However, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) and Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) provided some relief as they moved slightly upward.
