Shiba Inu’s token burning mechanism: How will it impact the token?

There are 549,063.28 billion SHIB tokens in supply. The team of Shiba Inu created a token burning mechanism on Apr 23, 2022. The core purpose of the token burn mechanism is to make the token supply scarce. The ‘Shiba Army’ has responded well to the token burning initiative. 

The value of SHIB has shown a ‘Flag Formation’ with some upward trends to break the upper border. A pattern like this usually indicates a consolidation phase for the asset. Given the fact that the token was down on the heatmap and a huge chance of reversal is expected. 

The progress on making the token scarce through the burn token model can take a lot of time considering the fact that the total supply is well over 589,735,030,408,323 with a market cap of $ 6,691,116,380. According to crypto analysts, it could take a while for SHIBA to pass DOGE.
