Shiba Inu has constantly managed to trade above $0.000021 last week
amidst an ongoing tussle between the bulls and bears. On-chain data
has indicated some serious whale movements during this period, with
trillions of SHIB shuffled in and out of exchanges. The price
of SHIB went through a decline earlier in the week from an extended
selloff in the previous week. As the week progressed, things
started to change into bullish action during the weekend up until a
resistance just below $0.000028. Interestingly, on-chain
transaction data from whales shows the major holders moved
trillions of SHIB over the weekend, with 3.19 trillion SHIB
movement in the past 24 hours. Recent on-Chain Data Shows
Large SHIB Whale Activity According to IntoTheBlock’s large
transaction volume data, the number of Shiba Inu transactions over
$100,000 went through a major uptick last week, with the value of
transactions greater than $100,000 reaching $661.5 million. On
April 19th alone, SHIB transactions in this cohort reached 6.36
trillion SHIB worth $144.76 million. Large transactions in the last
24 hours particularly reached 3.19 trillion SHIB worth $82.49
million. Related Reading: Were Bitcoin Miners Behind The BTC
Price Crash Below $60,000? With so much SHIB on the move, the big
question is where are these whales sending their tokens.
Interestingly, on-chain data showed large transactions consisting
of a to and fro movement into and outside exchanges, indicating
mixed feelings from large holders. A notable transaction involved
the movement of 100 billion SHIB tokens into a crypto exchange on
Sunday. Speculations from investors are that this could be a
potential selloff from the whale, suggesting that there is a
possibility of a price decline in the short term. What Does This
Mean For Shiba Inu Holders? For average SHIB investors, whale
activity can be both promising and worrying. While more large
holders and transactions may indicate growing mainstream interest
and adoption of the token, their moves can also significantly
impact price. A positive price movement is enjoyed by Shiba Inu
when whales are accumulating from exchanges. However, movement into
exchanges suggests a selloff, as in the case of the 100 billion
SHIB transaction on Sunday. Related Reading: Ethereum Enters
Accumulation Phase As $500 Million ETH Leave Exchanges At the time
of writing, SHIB is trading at $0.00002726, a 6.65% increase from
0.00002556 in the past 12 hours. Shiba Inu is also up by 16% on a
larger seven-day timeframe and is on the way to displacing Cardano
in the market cap rankings. SHIB’s price action this week
should be full of action as the week unfolds, with the bulls now
retesting a resistance at $0.000028. According to IntoTheBlock’s
“In/Out Of The Money” metric, 6.62 trillion SHIB tokens were bought
at this price level, with 28,760 addresses waiting to make a
profit. A break over this price level indicates further resistance
levels at $0.000029 and $0.000030. SHIB price at $0.000026 |
