CoinMarketCap's figures indicate that Shiba Inu's volume increased a mere 1.53% over the past day, reaching $109.72 million. This might signify traders less convinced about recent price.

Derivatives market signals a bit of a red flag

Traders are still not convinced, judging by trading positions. Despite this, SHIB's open interest climbed almost 3% over the past day, reaching $53.11 million, even as funding rates held steady.

This could mean the groundwork for a rebound is being laid, though more robust demand might be necessary to solidify a lasting price shift.

Shiba Inu rose above the daily MA 50 near $0.000006 yet again in March. Previous attempts have seen SHIB unable to sustain a breakout above this level. If it happens, Shiba Inu might aim for $0.00000625, with the ultimate aim of reaching $0.000010. On the other hand, a drop might target support in the $0.000005 range.
