According to a recent tweet posted by the team of WhaleStats crypto tracker, around 15 hours ago, a whale that goes by the alias "BlueWhale0073" made yet another acquisition of SHIB this week.
This is the third chunk of Shiba Inu (not a small one) he has bought since the start of the month. He also bought close to a trillion Shiba Inu in March.

Earlier this week, the same whale purchased 229,963,072,498 SHIB (April 4) and 99,297,904,247 SHIB (April 1). The whale is apparently buying Shiba Inu for small profits as he keeps selling them soon after purchasing; this time is no exception.
On April 6, the second largest meme coin in terms of market capitalization value, SHIB, showed a marginal rise of slightly under 2%. The whale likely managed to sell their Shiba Inu before the coin dropped 2.11% on the hourly chart. At press time, the token is changing hands at the $0.00001084 level on the Binance exchange.
In March, this whale bought 873 billion Shiba Inu in several lump sums to sell them later on for profits again.
