The Shiba Inu (SHIB) price has remained under strong pressure this year as weak demand and fading market momentum continue to weigh on the meme coin. Beyond the price decline, new data now show that Shiba Inu’s Open Interest (OI) has crashed by more than 30%, while its burn rate has also slowed significantly. The decline in these key metrics points to weakening investor interest, lower trading activity, and reduced network engagement. Combined with Shiba Inu’s ongoing price struggles, these growing bearish signals have raised concerns about whether Shiba Inu is losing the strength that once made it the second-largest meme coin in the crypto market.

The Bollinger Band position at 0.27 confirms SHIB is hugging the lower end of its trading range without reaching oversold levels that trigger automatic buying. This configuration resembles a coiled spring – the type of technical setup that breaks violently in either direction within days. Blockch

SHIB/USDT Chart by TradingView The total quantity of a cryptocurrency that is accessible on trading platforms is represented by exchange reserves.
