Its rise\u00a0<span style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;\">coincided with a broader meme coin upswing\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/is-elon-musk-behind-dogecoins-latest-double-digit-surge\/\">triggered<\/a> by news that X will soon allow users to\u00a0<\/span>trade stocks and cryptocurrencies directly from their timelines.<\/p>\n<p>SHIB\u2019s revival was short-lived, and it is currently worth around $0.000006596, representing a 3% decline over the past 24 hours. According to renowned analyst Ali Martinez, however, the asset may be poised for another jump.<\/p>\n<p>He <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/alicharts\/status\/2023216510328799288\">noted<\/a> that SHIB has been pressing against the $0.0000067 resistance level. Should the token flip this area into support, Martinez believes it could open the door to a 50% rally to $0.0000099. Many X users who engaged with the post agreed with this potential scenario. Global Rashid, for instance, <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/globalrashid007\/status\/2023241624977830197\">said<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cSHIB sitting right at decision time. Reclaim $0.0000067 as support and momentum shifts fast towards $0.0000099. Lose it, and this stays a range. Structure &gt; hype.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Some indicators point toward the possibility of a short-term rally. Shiba Inu\u2019s burn rate has soared by 70% on a daily scale, resulting in more than three million tokens sent to a null address. While the USD equivalent of the destroyed stash is negligible, sustained efforts in that field can support price appreciation (especially if demand doesn\u2019t decline).<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1428911\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1428911\" style=\"width: 463px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/SHIB-Burn-Rate.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1428911\" src=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/SHIB-Burn-Rate.png\" alt=\"SHIB Burn Rate\" width=\"463\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/SHIB-Burn-Rate.png 316w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/SHIB-Burn-Rate-300x259.png 300w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/SHIB-Burn-Rate-90x78.png 90w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/SHIB-Burn-Rate-104x90.png 104w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/SHIB-Burn-Rate-200x173.png 200w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/SHIB-Burn-Rate-100x86.png 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 463px) 100vw, 463px\"><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1428911\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">SHIB Burn Rate, Source: shibburn.com<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>SHIB\u2019s exchange reserves are also worth observing.
