Shiba Inu (SHIB) Whale Numbers Fall to Month-Low Amid 21% Weekly Price Drop

Source Beincrypto

Shiba Inu (SHIB) price has declined 21% over the past 30 days, with its trading volume down 16% in the last 24 hours, now at $386 million. Technical indicators show mixed signals, with the RSI recovering from oversold levels but remaining neutral, indicating a lack of strong momentum.

Additionally, whale activity has decreased, with the number of large holders recently hitting a month-low, signaling potential distribution. SHIB’s next move will likely depend on whether it holds its key support or breaks through resistance levels to regain bullish momentum.

SHIB RSI Is Currently Neutral

Shiba Inu RSI is at 44.9, recovering from an oversold level of 28 on January 13 and briefly reaching 55 earlier today. This neutral-to-slightly bearish reading suggests a balance between buying and selling pressure, with no strong momentum currently driving the price.

The RSI, or Relative Strength Index, measures price momentum on a scale of 0 to 100, with values below 30 indicating oversold conditions and above 70 signaling overbought levels.

At 44.9, SHIB RSI suggests consolidation or mild bearish pressure. Further upward movement requires the RSI to break above 50 to signal stronger bullish momentum.

Shiba Inu Whales Are Not Accumulating

The number of whales holding at least 1 billion SHIB has declined from a month-high of 10,930 on December 19 to 10,832 today, following a low of 10,831 two days ago.

This steady decline suggests reduced accumulation by large holders, which could indicate weakening confidence or decreased interest among key market participants.

Tracking whale activity is crucial because these large holders can significantly impact price trends and liquidity. The current decline in whale numbers highlights potential distribution, which may create downward pressure on SHIB price unless new accumulation occurs to offset the trend.

However, the stabilization near recent lows may signal that selling has slowed, offering a potential foundation for recovery.

SHIB Price Prediction: A Further 11.9% Decline?

The price chart shows SHIB has close support at $0.0000205, which, if broken, could lead to a decline to $0.0000185, representing a potential 11.9% correction.

Conversely, if an uptrend emerges, SHIB price could test the resistance at $0.000022 and, if surpassed, move toward $0.000024.

A strong uptrend could even push Shiba Inu price back to levels near $0.0000298, signaling a significant recovery and renewed bullish momentum.

Bitcoin briefly loses 2025 gains as crypto plunges over the weekend.Bitcoin experienced a sharp decline this weekend, briefly erasing its 2025 gains and dipping below its year-opening value of $93,507. The cryptocurrency fell to a low of $93,029 on Sunday, representing a 25% drop from its all-time high in October. Although it has rebounded slightly to around $94,209, the pressures on the market remain significant. The downturn occurred despite the reopening of the U.S. government on Thursday, which many had hoped would provide essential support for crypto markets. This year initially appeared promising for cryptocurrencies, particularly after the inauguration of President Donald Trump, who has established the most pro-crypto administration thus far. However, ongoing political tensions—including Trump's tariff strategies and the recent government shutdown, lasting a historic 43 days—have contributed to several rapid price pullbacks for Bitcoin throughout the year. Market dynamics are also being influenced by Bitcoin whales—investors holding large amounts of Bitcoin—who have been offloading portions of their assets, consequently stalling price rallies even as positive regulatory developments emerge. Despite these sell-offs, analysts from Glassnode argue that this behavior aligns with typical patterns seen among long-term investors during the concluding stages of bull markets, suggesting it is not indicative of a mass exodus. Notably, Bitcoin is not alone in its struggles, as Ethereum and Solana have also recorded declines of 7.95% and 28.3%, respectively, since the start of the year, while numerous altcoins have faced even steeper losses. Looking ahead, questions linger regarding the viability of the four-year cycle thesis, particularly given the increasing institutional support and regulatory frameworks now in place in the crypto landscape. Matt Hougan, chief investment officer at Bitwise, remains optimistic, suggesting a potential Bitcoin resurgence in 2026 driven by the “debasement trade” thesis and a broader trend toward increased adoption of stablecoins, tokenization, and decentralized finance. Hougan emphasized the soundness of the underlying fundamentals, pointing to a positive outlook for the sector in the longer term.
