Shiba Inu (SHIB) Lost 83% Inflows: Who Caused It?

Since failing to break above the long-term resistance at $0.00001596, Shiba Inu’s price has been stagnating, currently hovering around $0.00001450. With sideways price action, several failed breakouts and mounting bearish pressure from moving averages and market dynamics, the daily chart illustrates this indecision. The shocking decline in large holder inflows and outflows, which provides a clear picture of market sentiment, is more worrisome than the erratic price action.

While outflows have plummeted by more than 80%, large holder inflows have plummeted by an astounding 83% over the last 30 days. The big players and whales who are the smart money have essentially left the stage according to these figures, leaving the retail crowd to shoulder the majority of the work. This change is shown in the charts. Beginning in early May, inflows of up to 8 trillion SHIB have all but vanished, falling below 2 trillion SHIB.

A complete lack of conviction in either direction is evident from the outflows that have mirrored this decline. Since low inflows and outflows typically precede periods of low liquidity and stagnant price action, exactly what we are witnessing, this is usually a bearish sign. Who caused this sudden vacuum? Analysts think it has less to do with a single entity and more to do with the state of the market as a whole. Bitcoin’s dominance has returned to 52%, detracting from altcoins in terms of both capital and attention.

Simultaneously, SHIB’s ecosystem has seen few updates that have done much to attract new players or rekindle momentum. From a technical standpoint, SHIB is currently holding onto important support at $0.000014 and $0.0000135. Without whales, the way down is open, and a breakdown below this zone could lead to a retest of $0.000012. Regaining $0.000016, on the other hand, would be the first indication that confidence is growing again.

Up until that point, SHIB is stuck in limbo between the silence of its own sizable holders and the weight of Bitcoin’s surge. The market’s next story will be whether SHIB endures this lull or continues to decline.
