Holder profitability drops as exchange inflows increase selling risk

Recent on-chain data for Shiba Inu highlights a sharp 62% weekly drop in the amount of tokens held in profit, signaling rapid changes in profitability among holders. Additionally, SHIB saw a substantial 1,153% surge in net spot inflows—$144,380 flowed in versus $108,020 out—briefly supporting a rebound after recent declines. Increased movement of tokens onto exchanges indicates rising selling pressure.

Bullish momentum holds above support despite capped advance

Technical momentum stays positive for SHIB on the daily chart, with both MACD and ADX at 'Buy' and the RSI at 61.8, supporting a bullish bias, though the price remains capped below the MA-200. The current price action finds dynamic support near the Ichimoku Kijun at $0.00000849, with resistance levels at the MA-50 and the round $0.0000090 mark. Stochastic RSI is elevated at 78.4 but does not yet show overbought conditions, CCI remains constructive, and Bull/Bear Power reflects sustained buying. The Awesome Oscillator is neutral, and modest intraday volatility hints at some buyer caution after the session’s open.

Sideways trading likely as downside risk outweighs upside

For the upcoming five sessions, SHIB is likely to remain confined within a volatility band of $0.00000790 – $0.00000910, with sideways action as the base scenario. Most indicators suggest the chance of further upside is low (below 20%), while the risk of a downside move is relatively higher given the longer-term bearish signals. A bullish breakout above $0.00000910 could see a swift move toward higher resistance, but a dip under $0.00000790 may prompt additional selling. Consolidation between the mentioned levels is the most probable course given mixed momentum and resistance overhead.

Anton Kharitonov, Traders Union analyst, views the current SHIB setup as technically positive but fundamentally uncertain. He notes persistent selling pressure despite short-term momentum and on-chain inflows. Kharitonov expects price action to remain confined in a narrow band, with a breakout unlikely unless key resistance is taken out. "Given the prevailing signals, I remain cautious — until SHIB decisively clears $0.00000910, upside appears limited and risks are to the downside."

Last time, analysts noted that Shiba Inu was trading above its short- and medium-term moving averages with bullish momentum indicators such as a positive MACD crossover and strong ADX reading, while resistance remained just above current levels and the price stayed well below the long-term trend. Despite short-term buying dominance, technical signals suggest the asset is likely to consolidate sideways within a defined range, with limited breakout potential and continued downside risk.
