The overall cryptocurrency market is experiencing sustained short-term buying pressure, with most digital assets endeavoring to recover from recent losses. While Bitcoin (BTC) garners much attention as it aims to reclaim the $65,000 resistance, altcoins are also attracting significant interest.
In light of this, Finbold has identified two cryptocurrencies worthy of monitoring. These cryptocurrencies are notably influenced by significant on-chain developments and metrics, which will likely impact their prices amid the prevailing bullish sentiments.

Shiba Inu (SHIB)
In the short term, Shiba Inu stands out among cryptocurrencies with notable gains, surging by over 10% in the last 24 hours. Beyond the overall bullish sentiment in the market, SHIB appears to benefit from factors such as increased trading activity, token burns, and ongoing network developments.
Of particular interest is the network development, which could be the main driver behind SHIB’s price movements. Shiba Inu’s layer-2 blockchain solution, Shibarium, underwent a successful hard fork. This upgrade addresses user concerns regarding network usability and transaction efficiency, which are crucial factors supporting SHIB’s price growth.
The development seeks to promote faster transaction speeds by reducing processing times on the Shibarium network. Additionally, it introduces a system for predictable gas fees, making transactions more cost-effective. Security is also prioritized, with enhancements implemented to safeguard user assets and bolster network security.
Furthermore, crypto analyst Ali Martinez highlighted technical indicators suggesting that SHIB was forming a bull flag, indicating a potential bullish breakout. Martinez suggested that the formation could propel SHIB to $0.000072323, representing a growth of almost 180%.
