Shiba Inu Price Crashes 5% on Weak US Jobs Data
Shiba Inu's price crashed by nearly 5% on September 14th due to weak US jobs data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The report showed that the US economy added only 29,000 jobs in August, far below the expected 90,000 forecast by markets.
This news sent shockwaves across the crypto market, with Bitcoin falling as much as 2% and other altcoins following suit. Shiba Inu's price dropped from $0.00000595 to $0.00000554 in a single day, with its market cap sitting at $3.334 billion and 24-hour trading volume at $103.666 million.
However, there are some positive signs for the SHIB community. Shibburn data shows that the burn rate jumped 16,121.79% in a single day, with 2,801,665 tokens burned alone. Additionally, ShibSwap's DEX volume on DeFiLlama has grown eightfold in three weeks, indicating growing on-chain activity.
The next move for Shiba Inu will likely depend on how the wider market digests this jobs data and the potential impact on interest rates. Until then, price is expected to track Bitcoin's lead, while the rising burn rate and DEX volume offer a reason to watch closely rather than panic.
