<a href="https://u.today/xrps-battle-for-05-shiba-inu-shib-joins-market-comeback-dogecoin-doge-in-better-position" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Shiba Inu</a> saw a surge in network activity as an anonymous whale made a substantial transfer on an exchange, most likely for selling. A total of 100 billion SHIB tokens, as indicated by the chain of transactions from a wallet starting with 0x859, have been moved in what appears to be a selling spree by whales. However, those moves raise some questions, considering SHIB's bullish <a href="https://app.intotheblock.com/coin/SHIB/deep-dive?group=all&amp;chart=all" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">performance</a>.
At first glance, such significant transactions can stir the market, potentially driving prices down due to the increased selling pressure. The <a href="https://u.today/no-bone-airdrops-shiba-inu-shib-community-gets-critical-alert" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">SHIB</a> price chart shows a tightening of price movement with a declining pattern, signaling that the market is trying to find stable ground. <img alt="SHIBUSDT" src="https://u.today/sites/default/files/inline-images/image_706.png"><a href="https://www.tradingview.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">SHIB/USDT Chart by TradingView</a>
SHIB has been trading within a narrowing range, suggesting a breakout could be imminent. Resistance levels can be seen at the recent highs around $0.000029. Meanwhile, support levels are currently holding near $0.000023. One of the key indicators to track while <a href="https://u.today/shiba-inu-burn-rate-skyrockets-by-172-as-shib-price-rebounds" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">SHIB</a> consolidates is the 50 EMA.
However, diving into the on-chain metrics of <a href="https://u.today/shiba-inus-shibarium-skyrockets-160-as-key-metric-recovers" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Shiba Inu</a> gives us more insight. The data shows a considerable number of addresses "in the money," meaning holders who bought at lower prices staying in profit. Yet, a significant percentage remains "out of the money," suggesting that many holders may still be waiting for better prices.
Regarding the future of the asset, large transactions volume has shown a noticeable decrease, pointing to a dip in whale activity after the recent sales. If the sell-off does not trigger broader panic, the market may absorb the impact without a drastic price change. Investors and traders will closely monitor SHIB to see if the token can maintain its support levels or if it succumbs to further selling pressure.
