Shiba Inu Ends Its Decline As Whales Step In To Scoop Up SHIB
As whales step in, the price of SHIB ends its downfall. Can it bounce back?
Key Takeaways
- SHIB’s V-shape recovery indicates whale purchases have begun.
- Noticeable large SHIB transactions signify increased whale activity.
- There is potential for a SHIB high, contingent on sustained momentum.
Shiba Inu was in an uptrend from November 22 until its next high of $0.00001 on December 6, making a rise of 38%. It consolidated in that area, but yesterday, December 11, the price dropped by 13% in one day.
However, it quickly recovered by 6%, forming a V-shape candlestick formation, indicating that buyers have entered the market and scooped up the token. As on-chain evidence suggests, these buyers are SHIB whales, which showed an increased activity.
Does this mean the price of SHIB is now headed to a new high?
SHIB Whales Step In
According to the data from IntoTheBlock , the number of large transactions (over $100,000) has increased dramatically in the past 24 hours. It went from 33 txs on December 9 to 118 today.
Worth noting is that its recent highest point was December 6 of 194 txs when the price of SHIB spiked to a new high of $0.00001.
Looking at the USD value of these transactions, we can see an increase from $19.5 million on December 9 to $69.32 million on today’s high.
This paints a bullish picture of SHIB’s price outlook as a newly found interest among whales has emerged.
SHIB Price Analysis
From its yearly low of $0.000064 on June 12, the price of SHIB attempted to break out from the descending structure, which ended as the third lower high. However, on the next downturn, a first higher low was made on October 19, and then a move resulted in a breakout above the descending trendline.
December 12 high of $0.00010 is still the same as the last one, but that might change soon. Yesterday’s decline of 13% retested the broken resistance for support, and the daily candle snapped back by 3.6%, closing above it.
We could interpret this movement as wave 4 of the lower degree correction, and now that it has ended, another high could be ahead. A proper bounce must be seen before we can expect this high, as for now, the price is barely managing to maintain above the descending resistance.
But if it does make a bounce and continues moving upward, a new high of $0.000014 would be possible by the end of the year or at the start of next.
