Shiba Inu (SHIB) and Other Cryptocurrencies in the Market

Obviously, the bear market has overwhelmed all cryptocurrencies, including the top two cryptos in the market, Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH).

Bitcoin is now trading at around $20,000, while Ethereum is priced at around $1,200. Some analysts believe that the market could still dip more before recovery.

The negative trend has also affected the price of Shiba Inu (SHIB). This is not strange since it’s a market-wide bear market and prices will eventually rebound.
