More than 50 billion SHIB tokens left centralized exchanges in a brief amount of time, according to a recent massive exchange outflow event reported by Shiba Inu. Practically speaking, this indicates that a sizable portion of the liquid supply has been removed from marketplaces, intended mainly for sales. That by itself does not ensure a rally, but it significantly alters short-term supply dynamics.
Shiba Inu exchange flows
One of three behaviors – long-term accumulation, cold storage transfers or internal restructuring by large holders – is typically indicated by significant exchange outflows. Instead of just shuffling wallets, the size and persistence of the negative netflow in this instance tend to favor accumulation.
Liquidity would normally move onto exchanges rather than off of them if participants were getting ready to sell. According to the data, sellers are either becoming much less aggressive at the current price levels or are thinning out.
Although the price chart does not yet shout bull market, it does support this interpretation. Although SHIB is still trading below its major moving averages and in a wider downtrend, the downtrend’s slope has significantly flattened. Instead of acceleration, recent price action indicates compression.
SHIB stays oversold
Momentum indicators are hovering in oversold territory without causing panic-driven breakdowns, lower lows are minimal and volatility has decreased. That is a classic example of late-stage bearishness.
From a midterm standpoint, this arrangement is beneficial but weak. It takes less additional demand to raise prices when supply leaves exchanges because it lessens the immediate sell pressure. Demand still needs to be demonstrated, though. In the absence of a catalyst or a wider market tailwind, SHIB may stay in consolidation for longer than impatient traders anticipate.
Exhaustion selling seems to be limiting the downside, while even modest inflows could increase the upside risk. When accumulation phases give way to momentum moves, SHIB has historically been extremely reactive, frequently without much notice.
