SHIB Stalls Below Key Resistance as Whale Activity Collapses 83%.
The cryptocurrency market continues to navigate choppy waters as global economic tensions weigh on investor sentiment.
Shiba Inu has established a resistance zone around $0.00001467-$0.00001470, where high-volume selling has prevented upward movement, according to CoinDesk Research's technical analysis data model.
The formation of lower highs since recent peaks indicates increasing bearish pressure, though the token has found support between $0.00001426-$0.00001436.
Recent data shows Shiba Inu experienced a dramatic 74% decline in large transaction volumes, falling from 5.76 trillion SHIB to just 1.47 trillion in five days. This significant drop in whale activity has created a liquidity contraction in the ecosystem, with both inflows and outflows declining by over 80% in the past month.
Despite these challenges, several analysts maintain bullish outlooks on SHIB's future.
Some point to the token's expanding ecosystem, including Shibarium development, as reasons for long-term optimism. Changelly analysts predict SHIB could reach $0.0001 by 2029, while more ambitious forecasts suggest a potential $0.01 price point by 2040, though this would require significant supply reduction through token burns.
