Despite the major downturn in the crypto market yesterday, Shiba Inu (SHIB) managed to avoid adding another leading zero to its price.

August 5, 2024, is one day that crypto investors cannot forget in a hurry, as the market suffered one of its worst crashes since the FTX debacle.

SHIB Rebounds Swiftly After Edging Close to Adding a Zero

Notably, different crypto sectors, including the memecoin market, experienced a devastating collapse. In particular, Shiba Inu, the second-biggest memecoin by valuation, recorded a double-digit loss.

According to data from CoinMarketCap, Shiba Inu’s price crashed over 20% yesterday to a 24-hour low of $0.00001087. The popular memecoin was a few steps away from adding another leading zero to its price, as the $0.00001 support was on the verge of giving way.

However, a few hours after hitting its 24-hour low, Shiba Inu’s price rebounded, surging to $0.00001388. This marked a 27% recovery push.

It bears mentioning that the last time SHIB traded with five leading zeros was in late February. A few days later, it surged to a yearly high of $0.000045, with many market watchers projecting that the token was on track to reduce its leading zeros to three.

However, this has not yet materialized. Shortly after SHIB surged to its yearly high of $0.000045, it plummeted heavily to lower levels, with one of its most significant declines occurring yesterday due to macroeconomic factors.

Interestingly, SHIB’s price rebounded swiftly after a decline to $0.00001087. At press time, SHIB is trading at $0.00001369, an increase of 15.25% in the past 24 hours. Conversely, Shiba Inu is down 17.87% in the past seven days and 8.36% in the monthly charts. Nonetheless, the memecoin is still 33.4% high year-to-date (YTD) at the current price.
