Shiba Inu rises as investors buy back into crypto
The cryptocurrency market is seeing a day of recovery momentum after getting hit with a wave of sell-offs yesterday. Thursday's valuation pullbacks were driven by the market's response to comments from Federal Reserve chair Jerome Powell suggesting that the U.S. central banking authority may not cut rates again when it meets in December.
The pullback may also have been shaped by U.S.-China trade news, with some investors hoping that the two countries would be able to arrive at a more substantial trade deal. While those catalysts prompted sell-offs yesterday, investors seem to be weighing their significance today and betting that they won't disrupt long-term bullish momentum for cryptocurrencies.
What's next for Shiba Inu?
As a meme coin, fundamentals don't play much of a role in shaping Shiba Inu's valuation. Instead, the cryptocurrency tends to see movement in conjunction with broader valuation trends across the crypto market.
If macroeconomic and geopolitical dynamics move in favorable directions, it's reasonable to expect that the token could see positive momentum over the long term -- but investors should move forward with the understanding that the coin is a risky bet even in the speculative crypto space.
