The SHIB token price jumped over 46% in seven days to reach a new all-time high of $0.000044.
Shiba Inu (SHIB) price has increased by more than 46% in the past seven days, and 10% over the past 24 hours to see its 30-day performance stand around 484% as of writing. The huge gains have pushed the cryptocurrency's market capitalization to $20 billion, putting SHIB in the 11th spot among the largest cryptocurrencies by market cap.
Although in the green over the various time frames, the token's price has retraced slightly since touching its new all-time high of $0.000044 on 24 October. According to data from CoinGecko, the DOGE-inspired meme coin is trading around $0.000038.
The slowdown comes as Bitcoin (BTC) battles downside pressure near $62,000 after shedding gains accumulated as the bellwether cryptocurrency raced to an all-time high above $67,000.
For SHIB price, selling pressure is largely linked to profit-taking deals from traders keen on cashing out of positions. The declines also follow a revelation by Tesla CEO Elon Musk that he does not hold any SHIB tokens, a scenario most SHIB holders have dismissed as inconsequential. According to PAC Coin CEO David Gokhshtein, Shiba Inu has been surging without the SpaceX boss' support.
