Shiba Inu (SHIB) price extends its gains by 8% and trades at $0.000015 at the time of writing on Wednesday, rallying over 15% so far this week. On-chain data shows that SHIB’s trading volume rose 228% in the last 30 days, bolstering the platform’s bullish outlook. Additionally, the technical outlook suggests a rally continuation as bullish bets increase among traders.

Shiba Inu trading volume surges while traders bet for price rise

Shiba Inu’s official social media platform reposted on Tuesday that its ShibaSwap decentralized exchange (DEX) trading volume is “UP 228% in the last 30 days”. This rise in trading volume indicates a surge in traders’ interest and liquidity in the SHIB chain, bolstering the platform’s bullish outlook.

Another bullish sign is Coinglass’s SHIB long-to-short ratio, which reads 1.08 and has been constantly rising, nearing its monthly high. This ratio above one reflects bullish sentiment in the markets as more traders are betting for the asset price to rise.
