Shiba Inu FOMO Kicks In With 23% SHIB Price Surge, What’s Next?
The world’s second-largest meme coin Shiba Inu (SHIB) has once again triggered a storm in the crypto space with 23% gains in the last 24 hours and moving closer to $0.0000191. Interestingly, the SHIB Price surge comes along with a 240% surge in the daily trading volumes, above $1.36 billion, reminiscent of the 2021 mega bull run.
Shiba Inu FOMO Kicks In Again
Crypto analytics platform Santiment reported that the Shiba Inu has experienced a major surge of 43% in the last nine days amid the heightened on-chain activity. Key metrics behind this rally include the strong volume spurt, strong SHIB circulation, and the SHIB whale transactions that have surged to 10-week highs. Besides, with the increase in the SHIB social dominance, there’s a strong FOMO (fear of missing out) kicking-in among the traders.
Furthermore, the Santiment data suggested that the sharp price rise could lead to the potential for a local top. As of press time the Shiba Inu price is trading at $0.00001901 with a market cap of $11.3 billion making it the 13th largest cryptocurrency in the market. For the SHIB Price to hit the February high of $0.000043, the bulls need a breakout above $0.000020 with strong trading volumes.
Derivatives data for the world’s second-largest meme coin also shows strength with the open interest surging by 65% all the way past $60 million. Further, the Coinglass data shows that the 24-hour Shiba Inu liquidations have surged to $2.23 million, of which, $1.29 million are short liquidations. Also, the chart below shows a strong surge in the funding rate, showing bullish sentiment among SHIB futures traders.
SHIB Price Rally to Continue?
As said, if the bulls manage a SHIB Price breakout above $0.20, there’s potential for another 100% rally immediately thereafter in a few weeks. However, investors are curious about whether the meme coin can replicate a 2021 bull run, which surged by 45000% between January and May.
There have been calls for the Shiba Inu rally to $1, however, this would need an exponential volume spurt. Additionally, despite the burn effort, there are trillions of SHIB still in circulation which would make it difficult for such a massive rally.
On the other hand, the SHIB ecosystem has continued to make progress announcing the SHI stablecoin launch this week. Furthermore, the total value locked (TVL) on Layer 2 network Shibarium has surged to a new high of $3.64 million.

Pi Network’s native cryptocurrency Pi Coin price is down by another 15% today, slipping all the way to $0.55 and another 60% surge in daily trading volumes to $477 million. With this, the PI cryptocurrency has extended its weekly losses to more than 33% as investors are losing hope of any recovery to $1. As a result, the community is now pinning hopes on a Coinbase listing for any revival.
Will Pi Network Make Way to Coinbase Anytime Soon?
Although the Pi Network listing on Binance has faced multiple delays, the community is still hopeful for a Coinbase listing. On March 14—Pi Day—Coinbase’s Chief Legal Officer, Paul Grewal, posted a tweet featuring Pi’s logo, stating, “We take Pi Day very seriously at Coinbase.”
A Coinbase listing could provide a major liquidity boost, pumping up the Pi Coin price higher to $1 and beyond. The exchange often considers community engagement when adding new assets, making Pi Network’s 60 million+ user base a strong factor in its favor.
Additionally, such a listing could significantly boost PI cryptocurrency’s adoption in both U.S. and global markets. This would be a historic milestone for the ecosystem, increasing the visibility and accessibility to millions of crypto users worldwide.
While Coinbase stirs speculation, Binance has yet to make any official comments regarding a potential $PI listing.
Pi Coin Price Drop to $0.3 Coming?
As the Pi Coin price continues to lose crucial support levels, analysts are turning pessimistic about it moving ahead. Crypto analyst Moon JEFF has projected that Pi Network price could drop to $0.30 if exchange deposits continue at their current rate.
More than 375 million PI tokens have already moved to exchanges. Moon JEFF notes that with total supply reaching 500 million $PI, the token’s price could stabilize around $0.30. This is similar to our Pi Coin price prediction, which shows that altcoin to trade under $0.40 for the month of April.
A Major Challenge for the Core Team
The Pi Community backlash is growing stronger with every passing day as the altcoin selling pressure increases. Popular community member Dr Altcoin stated: “Pi’s price has been in free fall, hovering around $0.5. If this was the end goal, why did the Pi community wait six years? Pi could have easily reached this value if it had launched in 2022”.
He further stated that major cryptocurrency exchanges are unlikely to list PI crypto unless the Pi Core Team (PCT) provides full transparency regarding its tokenomics. The two major challenges as highlighted by Dr Altcoin, are:
- At current low prices, Pi holders may struggle to engage with decentralized applications (DApps) within the Pi ecosystem.
- If these challenges persist, a significant portion of Pi users could sell off their holdings and migrate to other crypto projects.
The analyst added that the only viable path forward for the Pi Core Team, without relying on major exchange listings, is to burn billions of Pi coins from the Pi Foundation wallets.

Solana price has extended weekly losses to 14% amid heightened selling pressure for the cryptocurrency. Whale data on Friday revealed that roughly $46M worth of SOL was unstaked and offloaded to exchanges in recent days. The outcome? Crypto market traders and investors are speculating if a recovery is even possible ahead as the broader market faces turmoil amid Trump’s reciprocal tariff announcement.
Solana Price Takes Bearish Turn Amid Rising Whale Dumps, What’s Happening?
As of press time, Solana price traded at $115.91, down slightly over 3% in the past 24 hours. The weekly chart for the crypto showcases a 14% decline, further accompanied by a monthly drop of over 18%. This waning action falls in line with the recent broader market trends and heightened selling pressure for the cryptocurrency.
Data from the tracker Lookonchain suggested that crypto whales are on a SOL dumping spree in tandem with the coin’s slumping action. Notably, 4 wallet addresses collectively unstaked and offloaded $46 million worth of coins in the past 24 hours, per whale data.
Here Are The Addresses & Amounts of SOL Dumped
- ‘HUJBzd’ – $30.3 million worth of coins.
- ‘BnwZvG’ – $9.47 million worth of coins.
- ‘8rWuQ5’ – $3.53 million worth of coins.
- 2UhUo1′ – $3 million worth of coins.
For context, usual market sentiments reflect bearishness in light of such massive dumps as the selling pressure for a crypto increases. Solana’s waning price action has contributed to investors’ cautious outlook toward the coin amid negative market dynamics.
SOL Price Faces Pressure Amid Broader Trends
It’s worth pointing out that SOL is currently facing immense heat due to broader macro trends presenting risk assets with uncertainty. CoinGape recently reported that Bitcoin price saw an offsetting movement with Donald Trump’s reciprocal tariffs commencement. In turn, even the altcoin market mimicked a bearish movement lately.
Another report revealed that BTC price is expected to follow the stock market action in light of the new reciprocal tariffs. Matrixport strongly asserted that the broader crypto market could potentially sustain volatility in the short run as BTC price is expected to mimic stock market movements.
Analyst Forecasts Bullish Outlook Despite Downtrend
However, a crypto market analyst named ‘Brandon Hong’ has conversely highlighted a bullish outlook for Solana price regardless of the broader turmoil. The analyst recently posted on X, stating, “SOL is about to have its biggest breakout ever.”
This bullish anticipation rides the back of the coin about to break its 400-day range. “Buy now or regret later,” the analyst concluded, sparking contrary speculations. Crypto market participants continue to extensively eye the token for price action shifts amid uncertain dynamics.

While predictions for Cardano to $1 may seem like a far cry, a cryptocurrency expert has injected new life into the claims. Cardano’s price is headed below 50 cents in search of a new support zone that can serve as a springboard to reach new highs.
Cardano Price Can Still Clinch $1 Despite Price Slump
Market technician Jonathan Carter in an analysis on X predicts that Cardano’s price can reclaim the $1 price point in the coming months. According to Carter, the recent ADA correction will not be a hindrance for Cardano’s price to reach $1.
ADA has lost a jarring 13% over the last week and trades at $0.64 in an unremarkable week for the cryptocurrency. On the daily charts, prices have generally moved sideways, underscoring a lack of investor enthusiasm.
For Carter, Cardano’s recent decline has seen it fail to stay above the $0.65 support level. The analyst opined that a downtrend is the offing for the Cardano price that could see a new support zone of $0.59. Carter says the new $0.59 support zone will hurl Cardano price to reach $1.
“Despite the long correction, the price still has a chance to bounce off this support and rise towards $1,” said Carter. “Otherwise, we will fall to the lower border of the broadening wedge.”
While some investors are eyeing an ADA bounce to $0.70, a plausible play will be a slump below $0.60 before the start of a rally.
A Slew Of Positives For ADA
Despite the pervading negative sentiment around ADA price, the cryptocurrency has a wave of positive fundamentals going for it. Cardano price spiked following Charles Hoskinson’s confirmation of Ripple’s RLUSD on ADA.
Furthermore, Charles Hoskinson reveals that Cardano will play a major role in Bitcoin decentralized finance (DeFi) application. In more positive technicals, Cardano price is forming a cyclical pattern from 2024 that can send prices to astronomical proportions in May.
While the prediction pegged prices at $2.5, optimists say ADA price to $10 is not a crazy hypothesis. The report cites present solid fundamentals and ADA’s over 1,000% spike to set its all-time high back in 2021 as pointers for the seismic rally to $10.
