Shiba Inu’s marketing lead, known as LUCIE, sent shockwaves through the crypto market today (March 20th) with a surprise purchase of 40 million SHIB tokens. This move comes amidst a recent price dip for SHIB, sparking speculation of a potential pump and renewed optimism for the meme coin.
LUCIE’s Big Buy Fuels Speculation
LUCIE’s hefty purchase coincided with SHIB’s price falling below $0.00003. The timing, coupled with the “buy-the-dip” sentiment circulating in the market, ignited a wave of buying pressure across the crypto community. Shiba Inu’s price responded positively, experiencing an upward swing that boosted investor confidence.
Community Support and “Miracle Recovery” Hopes
LUCIE’s post on X detailed her belief in SHIB’s potential for a “miracle recovery,” citing the “buy-the-dip” strategy. This message, along with her significant purchase, fueled a surge of optimism. Additionally, she highlighted the upcoming Bitcoin halving and its potential to trigger a broader altcoin rally, potentially propelling SHIB to a new all-time high (ATH).
Shiba Inu Ecosystem Developments Add to Optimism
The Shiba Inu community’s ongoing development efforts, combined with the continuous burning of SHIB tokens, contribute to a positive long-term outlook for the meme coin’s price. This optimism is reflected in the recent price increase observed at the time of writing.
Current Price Action and Future Outlook
As of now, SHIB is trading at $0.00002534, a 0.99% rise in the last 24 hours. While the token exhibited volatility earlier today, LUCIE’s purchase helped stabilize the price and reverse the downward trend.
However, a potential bearish signal exists in the form of declining open interest and trading volume in SHIB derivatives markets. This softening coincides with the recent slump in altcoins mirroring Bitcoin’s correction.
Looking ahead, crypto enthusiasts anticipate a mirrored response from altcoins during the projected Bitcoin halving-induced upswing. This, combined with LUCIE’s purchase, the community’s advancements, and ongoing SHIB burning, could offer some price support for Shiba Inu. Despite potential short-term fluctuations, LUCIE’s actions express strong confidence in the possibility of a new ATH for SHIB.
