Shiba Inu has witnessed a notable decline in daily token withdrawals from exchanges by 65%, signaling a shift in investor behavior. Concurrently, inflows of SHIB tokens back to exchange platforms surged to approximately 96 billion, raising concerns over potential market instability.
Exchange Flow Data Highlights Investor Shifts
Data from blockchain and analysis platforms indicate a significant cooling in Shiba Inu trading activity:
- Daily outflows from exchanges fell by 65%, dropping to around 112 billion SHIB tokens over 24 hours.
- The overall volume of tokens leaving exchanges remains steady despite the sharp decline in outflow rate.
- This slowdown suggests investors are less inclined to transfer tokens to cold storage, possibly reducing long-term accumulation.
Outflows typically represent tokens moved from centralized exchanges to private wallets for storage, which reduces available supply for trading. The drop in outflows indicates diminished demand for securing SHIB tokens outside of exchanges.
Market Reaction and Price Implications
At the same time, inflows of Shiba Inu tokens onto exchanges have increased, totaling 96 billion SHIB during the same period. While net flow remains negative analysts warn the higher exchange deposits may signal preparation for significant liquidations or portfolio adjustments.
The growing accumulation of SHIB on trading platforms, combined with weakening demand, is causing a supply-demand imbalance. SHIB's price is stuck near $0.0000042 and currently trades below its 50, 100, and 200-day exponential moving averages (EMAs), indicating sustained bearish momentum over the medium to long term.
Technical analysis points to a risk of further price correction if the existing support levels fail due to the lack of buying pressure. This aligns with ongoing price declines observed over recent months.
