Burning tokens reduces supply, which can be bullish if demand remains constant or increases. however, the current burn rate, while increased daily, is down weekly, and the overall percentage of burned tokens is still relatively low.
The token burn mechanism combined with sustained demand in india and a positive market sentiment (risk appetite, job data) suggests a potential upward movement, especially if it breaks above the sma 50 and targets the sma 200.
The daily burn rate increase and current trading performance suggest a short-term positive effect, but the longer-term impact depends on continued burn rates and sustained demand.
