SHIB price 11% down

In an unexpected turn of events, the prominent meme-inspired cryptocurrency, SHIB, plunged more than 11% over the past 24 hours. After a marginal rebound, it is now changing hands at $0.00001522 after losing the $0.00001690 price level.

Notably, this price decline came after a mind-blowing price surge when SHIB soared by almost 31% on Monday, following the Bitcoin price trajectory.

The world’s primary cryptocurrency, Bitcoin, spiked by 10% on Monday, recovering from the 12% collapse it faced between Friday and Monday as the U.S. government unleashed trade war on Canada, Mexico and China. However, following the negotiations, Trump paused the 25% tariffs on Mexican imports and came to an agreement with Canada. Bitcoin responded immediately by going up. On Monday, it managed to regain the $102,000 level, but by now it has dropped 3.8% and is changing hands at $98,255, losing $100,000 again.
