Shiba Inu Eyes Monthly Gain Despite 9% Weekly Drop, Burn Efforts Fail to Impress Investors

Shiba Inu (SHIB), the second-largest memecoin by market cap, is poised to post a double-digit gain for July despite recent price weakness and lackluster response to aggressive token burns.

SHIB dipped to $0.00001263 early Tuesday, marking its lowest level since July 10. The token has fallen nearly 9% over the past week and over 2% in the past 24 hours, mirroring a broader decline across the memecoin space. The CoinDesk Memecoin Index is down 10% over the same seven-day period.

Despite recent burn activity — including the destruction of 600 million SHIB in a single session, representing a staggering 16,710% increase in the burn rate — the token failed to attract sustained buying. Analysts suggest this reflects a growing investor shift toward utility-based crypto projects, away from speculative meme-driven assets.

Market Competition and Flow Shift
SHIB’s inability to sustain gains has come amid increasing trader interest in rival tokens like BONK, PENGU, and the utility-focused Remittix, each of which has recently seen stronger inflows.

Candlestick Signals Hint at Bullish Reversal
SHIB’s monthly chart is shaping up to form an inverted hammer candle — often viewed as a potential reversal signal. This pattern, occurring near year-to-date lows, suggests buyer interest is beginning to return, even though sellers have so far maintained control. The long upper wick indicates that upward momentum could build if broader market conditions stabilize.
