Shiba Inu Breaks Free from Bear Trap as Whales Scoop Up 22B
- SHIB dodges the bear trap as whales buy $150K in 10 minutes.
- Shiba Inu’s key on-chain signals point to a neutral stance.
- Shibarium’s total value locked (TVL) grows 14.5% in a day.
Shiba Inu (SHIB) is slowly climbing back to the crucial resistance line at $0.000007. The memecoin dropped below the aforementioned price range on Tuesday after facing a severe market correction along with most alternative cryptocurrencies.
However, the tables have turned after Arkham Intelligence, a well-known blockchain analytics agency, spotted a gigantic transaction on the blockchain on October 19, 2023. In further detail, two transactions grossed 22.38 billion SHIB tokens in just ten minutes.
Whales Rescue SHIB From Bear Trap: Will It Last?
The crypto whale has been active for over a year, but the active accumulation of Shiba Inu (SHIB) tokens at 12:58 UTC on October 19 liberated $SHIB from the bear trap. The positive shift for $SHIB is evident in key on-chain metrics: concentration upsurge.
The inflow of 11.19 $SHIB tokens twice in ten minutes draws a pattern seen in the last couple of weeks. Before this, one Shiba Inu whale similarly amassed 4.5T SHIB tokens, also causing a positive price reaction on October 6. The awakened whale splashed $32M on SHIB tokens at $0.000007227.
Interestingly, Shiba Inu’s current market value is below this threshold. At press time, SHIB is changing hands at $0.00000695 with a 3.5% daily increase, according to CoinGecko. This puts the popular canine coin at a crossroads – to secure the breakout, SHIB needs to reclaim the confluent resistance at $0.000007.
While professional crypto traders are reserved about making forecasts in the ongoing situation, Shiba Inu’s growth is evident in Shibarium. The relaunched Shibarium L2 mainnet inked a daily 14.5% increase in total value locked (TVL), according to decentralized finance analysis platform DefiLlama.
Currently, with a total of $0.66M locked on Shibarium L2, the DeFi space is dominated by MarsSwap dApp at 42.20%. Despite the L2 success, SHIB’s price now negatively correlates with Bitcoin (BTC) at -0.38, meaning that SHIB picks up less on the leading digital asset’s daily bull runs.
On The Flipside
- If Shiba Inu (SHIB) doesn’t retain the crucial resistance at $0.000007, the recurrence of the bear trap could put the canine coin’s market value at the mercy of crypto bears.
