SHIB price falls after 8.49% surge
This week has been quite volatile for the second largest meme cryptocurrency, Shiba Inu. Within the last 24 hours, the prominent meme-inspired coin staged an impressive 8.5% surge, rising from $0.00001769 to the $0.00001916 level. This price rise has been followed by a 3.3% drop today.
This week, SHIB has been actively trying to break through the resistance at $0.00001872 and fix above it. However, after each of three major attempts to do it, SHIB was pushed back down. At the time of this writing, the meme coin is changing hands at $0.00001878 per unit.
