Shiba Inu (SHIB) fell to its lowest level since August on Thursday, as a sell-off in Nasdaq chip stocks spread into crypto. Bitcoin and other major coins slid together, and the meme token followed them lower.
SHIB now trades near $0.00000456, down about 21% this month and close to its year low. For any Shiba Inu price prediction, the next test is whether buyers can hold that floor or let the slide run about 11% further.
Traders who watch these swings also look for tools that make the calls easier. One of them is MEMASA ($MEMASA), an upcoming AI crypto trading app that combines conversational trading, market intelligence, self-custody, and an analyst marketplace.
SHIB's latest drop did not start in the meme coin market but on Wall Street. Chip stocks on the Nasdaq fell as much as 11% on Thursday, and the selling quickly reached crypto.
Bitcoin briefly slipped below $75,600, and Dogecoin and Shiba Inu dropped alongside it.
That link matters because SHIB has moved almost exactly with Bitcoin over the past ten days, a cryptoticker.io analysis shows.
The outlet found no selling specific to SHIB, including from the Binance attackers who dumped tokens earlier this month. Still, the move cracked the $0.0000045 zone, which had held twice in recent weeks before giving way intraday.
Trading volume stayed below average, so the break looked more like drift than panic selling.
The bigger risk is Bitcoin itself, and the outlet warned SHIB is unlikely to be spared if BTC falls toward $72,000.
SHIB trades near $0.00000456, slightly higher on the day but still down about 2% over the past week.
The nearest strong support sits at $0.00000407, right above the year low and roughly 11% below the current price. On the upside, the first strong resistance stands at $0.00000565, while technical indicators lean bearish.
A clean break below support would put the next floor at $0.00000348, while a push through resistance would ease the pressure.
MEMASA is built for traders weighing calls like this one, and its token sits at $0.0155 in the current sale stage.
MEMASA is an upcoming AI-powered crypto trading app that lets people research, buy, and sell cryptocurrencies by chatting with an AI assistant.
Instead of studying complicated charts, tracking hundreds of tokens, or switching between trading platforms, users will be able to ask MEMASA questions in plain language.
For example: "Can SHIB hold its year low if Bitcoin keeps falling?" MEMASA will analyze market indicators, trading activity, and sentiment to explain what the available data suggests.
MEMASA tackles problems almost every on-chain trader knows: too many charts, too much noise, scam tokens, and endless switching between apps. It brings market analysis, risk checks, and trading into one AI-powered chat.
That gives MEMASA a real shot at attracting a wide audience, from crypto newcomers to seasoned traders. MEMASA is still in development and preparing for launch.
SHIB and $MEMASA are of different leagues: Shiba Inu is a meme cryptocurrency that depends on community support while $MEMASA is a utility token powering the MEMASA trading ecosystem. Its proposed role is directly connected to how people use the app.
$MEMASA will support several functions:
Premium AI intelligence: Access to advanced market analysis and trading insights.
Trading fee discounts: Reduced fees for eligible platform activity.
Analyst and agent staking: Analysts and AI agents stake $MEMASA to list their strategies and signals.
Marketplace payments: Transactions involving intelligence services and trading strategies.
Curation and contributor rewards: Incentives for participants who contribute useful signals and help curate the ecosystem.
Unlike SHIB, whose price now moves in lockstep with Bitcoin, $MEMASA has a fixed token supply. The token structure also includes long-term team vesting and transparent unlock schedules.
MEMASA is offering an on-chain early sale, giving participants early access to $MEMASA before broader market availability. The earlier stages offer lower token prices, while later stages provide faster unlocks.
SHIB has already seen its biggest rallies and may struggle to repeat them. MEMASA is preparing for launch, with its on-chain early sale offering tokens below the anticipated market price.
However, future returns will depend on successful app development, user adoption, and demand for $MEMASA. Higher potential also comes with higher risk.
Access Early Stage of $MEMASA On-chain Sale
Shiba Inu's next move likely depends on Bitcoin. Holding $0.00000407 keeps the year low intact, while a recovery needs a push back toward $0.00000565.
The last time SHIB sank this low, in August, it rebounded strongly, but that rally came while Bitcoin was rising.
MEMASA faces a different test, as it needs to turn an AI trading concept into an app people use regularly. Demand for its utility token depends on that adoption. Both SHIB's path and MEMASA's outcome remain uncertain, and higher potential comes with higher risk.
