Shiba Inu (SHIB-USD) is not having a good year. As of April 27, it is down 32% from 0.003383 cents to 0.002296 cents. That’s around 23 ten-thousandths of a penny. Here is an easier way to think of it. For $1,000 you now can buy 43 million SHIB crypto tokens, whereas before for $1,000 you only got about 30 million tokens.

In other words, you now get over 10 million SHIB crypto tokens for the same price. That shows that investors in Shiba Inu get a bargain for their investment. But, of course, that only works if, in the long term, Shiba Inu makes a turnaround. So what are the prospects of that happening?

Some traders think that SHIB crypto is due for a rebound on a technical trend and Fibonacci trading pattern basis. Others think that token burning will raise the price. However, that shouldn’t be taken as a guarantee.

Where Things Stand With Shiba Inu Going Forward

The truth is that SHIB crypto probably won’t make any major move higher until the general cryptocurrency market moves up. And the reality is that Shiba Inu is also probably highly correlated to any moves with Dogecoin (DOGE-USD), a similar but larger meme crypto token.

Dogecoin has a market cap of $18.1 billion and is the No. 12 largest cryptocurrency. But Shiba Inu has a market valuation of $12.6 billion, nearly a third lower than the Dogecoin market cap. So far this year, DOGE crypto is down 21%, which is better than the 32% drop at Shiba Inu. The point is that SHIB crypto is more volatile as a smaller cryptocurrency.

As a result, investors should not really expect that SHIB crypto will make a rebound until its meme cousin, so-to-speak, Dogecoin, turns around as well. From a practical standpoint, investors may have to wait for that to happen first.
