Despite recent developments in the Shiba Inu ecosystem over the past few weeks, the digital asset has been in a downward trend for 7 weeks now.
SHIB is creating its seventh consecutive weekly red candle as the price of the cryptocurrency continues to decline despite continued token burn, cryptocurrency exchange adoption and ecosystem expansion, according to Charts from TradingView.
It is worth mentioning that, coinciding with the weekly red candles, the number of SHIB trades fell to their lowest level in 14 months, with 72% of holders being reported to be at a loss on their investment.
The drop in the number of transactions is in line with the downward trend seen in previous months. In this line, the transaction fell by more than 26% between January 2022 and May 2022.
Currently, SHIB is trading at $0.00001063, down 3.26% on the day and marginally up 0.81% over the past seven days, with a total capitalization of $5.8 billion.
However, SHIB recently reached a new record, surpassing 1,195,000 holders.
