Stormy seas for Shiba Inu & Bone ShibaSwap continue even with Ethereum whales still treasuring the dog-themed crypto.

Shiba Inu (SHIB) Falls Below Support Despite Interest From Ethereum (ETH) Whales

Shiba Inu (SHIB) made a couple of important moves last week, most notably dropping the Shiba Eternity collectible card game for both Android and iOS users on October 6th, 2022. The hugely anticipated mobile card game has seen success, and it even topped Uno for the top mobile card game.

However, the developments surrounding Shiba Inu’s (SHIB) Ecosystem are yet to reflect on its market price. On top of that, Shiba Inu (SHIB) even dropped below the important resistance line at $0.00001 for a couple of hours on October 11th, 2022. The crucial resistance line broke due to the fact that the 24-hour RSI pointed toward an ‘oversell’ situation.
