Shiba Inu continues to have the largest token position by dollar value among the top 100 ETH whales, reflecting the interest of whales in SHIB.
According to WhaleStats, the top 5,000 ETH whales hold a staggering $606,553,503 in SHIB. The impending arrival of Layer 2 Shibarium might have contributed to the whales' sentiment around SHIB.
In a recent tweet, SHIB lead developer Shytoshi Kusama hinted about "finishing up" a task. He shared the link to the song "La Vedo Nera" by Dueuno, an Italian musical duo, on Twitter, saying "on repeat while we finish up."
SHIB price reaches key support level
Following the declines seen in the crypto market on March 3 in the wake of the Silvergate bank buzz, Shiba Inu touched the key daily MA 200 support at $0.00001092, from where the price rebounded.
Tomiwabold OlajideSHIB is trading quite higher above this key support level as bulls try to retake ground much above this level. At the time of writing, SHIB was marginally down in the last 24 hours at $0.00001132. SHIB may go for the short-term hurdle at $0.0000124 if bulls' attempts to retake ground are successful.
Another possibility is that SHIB might stabilize close to its current levels before making a significant move up or down.
