Shiba Inu is struggling to stay buoyant on Wednesday after volatility spiked due to fake&nbsp;<a href="https://coingape.com/bitcoin-etf-impact-on-the-btc-price-is-reducing-fast-traders-deleverage/?utm_source=24hrsupdatebitcoin" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">spot Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF)</a>&nbsp;news. Most altcoins including SHIB continued with the retreat from Monday, unaffected by the Bitcoin price brief move above $47,000.
However, investor reaction to the fake news has kept the crypto market generally depressed, with BTC leading the rout to $45,000.

Shiba Inu holds below the Ichimoku Cloud indicator suggesting a weakening technical structure. Altcoins like SHIB have been wobbling despite the buzz around the ETF approval by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
The brief breakout&nbsp;<a href="https://coingape.com/price/bitcoin/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Bitcoin price</a>&nbsp;experienced on Tuesday after the fake news on the SEC’s X account could be seen as a sneak peek into the price reaction after the actual approval on Wednesday.

 Happy ETF Approval Day (for real this time) to all those who celebrate.. as far as we know it's ALL SYSTEMS GO.

However, many analysts believe that Bitcoin has already been priced in the news and that there will not be drastic upward movements. There’s growing tension over a sell-the-news narrative but, CryptoBusy analysts say that it would be prudent “to wait for these events to pass to avoid fake movements.”

 Last night's volatility wiped out $17M shorts in just a few minutes.
 And now the day has come, can we see a legitimate <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/BTC?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">#BTC</a> Spot ETF announcement later today?
 My strategy is still to wait for these events to pass to avoid fake movements.

Investors should also be careful with altcoins like Shiba Inu, which are already showing increasing weakness. The meme coin could retest $0.00000925 — the immediate support at $0.0000092 fails to hold.
If the decline continues, SHIB could extend the downtrend to the lower ascending trendline which recently functioned as the springboard for the upswing to $0.00001 on Monday.

SHIB’s position below all three applied moving averages; the 20 Exponential Moving Average (EMA) (blue), the 50 EMA (red), and the 200 EMA (purple) is a disadvantage to the bulls who have to put in more effort to back the expected rebound above $0.00001.

The Shiba Inu ecosystem has witnessed a remarkable acceleration in its token burn rate, evidenced by the removal of almost 9.4 billion tokens from the circulating supply within the past 24 hours to approximately 589 trillion. This follows a sustained effort throughout the previous month, during which SHIB tokens with an estimated value of 200 ETH were burned, as reported by the project on X.

Reducing the humongous&nbsp;<a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.shibburn.com/">Shiba Inu supply</a>&nbsp;is crucial for its performance in the next bull run. Investors have previously blamed the meme coin’s poor performance from the 2021 ATH highs on the massive circulating supply which tends to dampen price movement, especially to the upside. As the supply decreases, supply and demand dynamics are expected to bolster SHIB’s performance to the coveted $1 milestone.
