Whale buying and altcoin inflows drive volume surge in SHIB

Shiba Inu has recently witnessed a substantial surge in trading volume, with a 111% increase bringing the total to $240 million. Notable whale activity was observed, with over 406 on-chain transactions valued above $100,000, indicating larger holders are making strategic moves. Renewed investor attention has been drawn to Shiba Inu as capital flows into the broader cryptocurrency sector and interest in Bitcoin ETFs spreads to select altcoins.

Diverging momentum and overbought signals flag exhaustion risk

Momentum indicators show mixed signals for SHIB: the daily MACD reflects strong selling pressure, while the ADX at 23 suggests a trend is forming. Oscillators indicate the asset is overbought, with Stoch RSI and CCI at high levels, and the daily RSI reading at 57 highlights persistent buying interest. The Bull/Bear Power remains positive, confirming intraday buyer dominance. Intraday action sits in the middle of today's price range ($0.0000081 - $0.0000084) after a 3.19% gain, denoting moderate volatility and sideways-to-strength consolidation, but divergence between overbought oscillators and buying momentum could indicate short-term exhaustion.

Bearish tilt prevails as upside momentum stalls below resistance

In the short term, SHIB's expected trading range for the coming week is $0.00000780 to $0.00000860, outlining a typical volatility band relative to current levels. Momentum signals suggest the chance of a move higher is very low (less than 20%), making further declines more probable as resistance is encountered. The baseline scenario points to sideways trading within this corridor as buying energy wanes. A push above $0.00000860 on momentum would trigger a bullish breakout, while a fall below $0.00000780 would confirm renewed bearish pressure.

Viktoras Karapetjanc, expert at Traders Union, sees renewed investor appetite for Shiba Inu as part of a broader shift toward crypto assets. He notes that strategic whale activity and robust volume show confidence despite longer-term technical hurdles. While the current setup suggests a limited chance for a breakout, sideways trading could persist as sector-wide sentiment stays constructive. Momentum might stall soon, but overall risk appetite remains strong. "If capital rotation in crypto continues, SHIB could surprise to the upside once resistance is cleared."

Last time, analysts noted that Shiba Inu is exhibiting short-term bullish momentum above its 20- and 50-day moving averages, but remains capped below its 200-day average, reflecting persistent long-term bearishness. Technical indicators show mixed signals with rising trend strength and ongoing buyer dominance intraday, though overbought oscillators and weak momentum suggest limited upside, with key support at the Ichimoku Kijun and near-term resistance constraining further gains.
