SHIB price plummets 7.31%
The second-biggest meme cryptocurrency, SHIB, has plunged hard today as part of the major crypto market’s reverse, as the world’s bellwether crypto Bitcoin went down by 2.44%.After reaching the all-time high close to $112,000, BTC is now changing hands at $108,550 per coin. Data shows that the Spent Output Profit Ratio (SOPR) is going down, suggesting that institutional investors are selling at a loss, which increases the selling pressure on Bitcoin.
Besides, traders seem to be shedding their leverage bets. Adding to that, traders are waiting to see broader macroeconomic market signals similar to the recently announced trade tariff pause between the U.S. and China.
