Shiba Inu: Whales Accumulate Yet Price Drops – What’s Going On?

The bullish activity in the market has been on the decline due to
external factors that have negatively impacted investor sentiment,
especially Shiba Inu. Specifically, the crypto market has suffered
a significant setback following the US Federal Reserve’s decision
to increase interest rates and the resurgence of concerns regarding
banking crises. According to the latest data from CoinGecko, the
market has contracted by nearly 2% within the past 24 hours,
indicating a clear downward trend. Source: CoinMarketCap SHIB, one
of the leading meme coins in the space, is currently flashing red
in all timeframes. The latest market data reveals that SHIB is down
nearly 5% in the current timeframe, showing investors that it is a
must-avoid coin in the coming days. However, crypto whales have
been accumulating SHIB according to recent reports. Related

Once Again? Price Down, Whales Accumulate – What’s Up? According to
crypto whale tracker WhaleStats, the token is still the most traded
token by whales. Recent news regarding this recent activity reveals
that this accumulation might be part of a bigger investment
strategy. In late March, the same whales sold over 500 billion SHIB
before accumulating once more. Whales also hold the majority
of SHIB’s supply. Up to 31% of the total supply of SHIB is being
controlled by 100 whales in the market. However, their accumulation
was met by bearishness with SHIB going downward. Source:
WhaleStats The token’s recent price movement can be explained by
the market’s recent actions. Major cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin
and Ethereum have been doing badly in the past few days. Despite
Bitcoin facing a bullish break according to a Twitter analyst,
SHIB’s current performance might be held back by developments
outside of SHIB. #Bitcoin Inexorable Breakout 💥🚀#BTC is about
to break its monthly Bollinger Bands base line 🔴. And when that
happens 1st target 🎯 will follow inexorably. That would bring

Crypto (@Washigorira) May 5, 2023 Despite this, investors should
keep an eye out for SHIB as it continues to mature. Shiba Inu
Investors Should Watch This Level At the moment, the token is below
the $0.0000096 resistance level. However, the price seems to
stabilize below this level which may be indicative of a bullish
breakout. If the bulls manage to break through $0.00000096,
investors and traders could then target $0.00001098
comfortably. However, investors and trailers should monitor
how Bitcoin and Ethereum move in the coming weeks. Any bearishness
within these markets can negatively affect SHIB’s price movements
in the future. SHIB total market cap at $5.5 billion on the

the macroeconomic situation will also benefit the bulls. May 10
will be the next date investors should pay attention to as this is
the date when the Consumer Price Index data will be released. If
the core CPI stays high or remains stagnant, we can expect the
Federal Reserve to raise the interest rates in the coming
months. In the short term, investors should be wary of short
sellers temporarily taking over the market. CoinGlass data shows
that long buyers are outnumbered by short sellers by a wide margin.
Keeping these in mind should keep SHIB’s profitability in the green
for investors. -Featured image from IT Business
