The alt-coin has been underperforming Bitcoin over the past few days. However, Shiba inu (SHIB), has rallied strongly since the beginning of the month and is now up about 400%. SHIB, which had been underperforming the market in the past few weeks and has not participated in any alt-coin rallies, is now back in the spotlight thanks to the recent surge. Although there’s no clear reason for the move it does look strong on high volume. If the market falls, this should provide some support.
