Despite a recent decline in price, Shiba Inu (SHIB) is experiencing a surge in large-scale transactions, commonly referred to as “whale activity,” according to on-chain data. This trend has sparked debate among analysts and investors about whether it signals a potential price reversal or a temporary blip in a bearish market, with one of them optimistic it will trigger a “legendary comeback” for the world’s second-largest dog-themed altcoin by market capitalization.
In a recent X post, Crypto Sheriff (@Gem_Sheriff on X), a crypto analyst, declared, “SHIB is Strong! Get ready for the legendary comeback,” alongside a chart showcasing SHIB’s recent price action. While the chart reveals a recent dip—a common sight in the often-turbulent crypto market—it also highlights key factors underpinning the analyst’s optimism.
Firstly, despite the dip, SHIB’s trading volume remains robust, hitting $184.18 million in a 24-hour period, as seen in the screenshot. This signifies continued interest and activity surrounding the meme coin, a potential precursor to price surges.
Secondly, the chart reveals a consolidation pattern around the $0.00001355 level. This suggests accumulation by buyers at this price point, potentially forming a solid base for a future upward trajectory.
Adding further fuel to the fire, data from blockchain analytics firm IntoTheBlock reveals a dramatic surge in large SHIB transactions, often indicative of whale activity. Whale activity on the Shiba Inu network has surged dramatically, with a staggering 9 trillion SHIB tokens exchanged in a single day. This represents a 588% increase compared to the previous day, indicating significant interest from large investors.
On-chain data reveals a spike in transactions exceeding $100,000, suggesting whales are actively accumulating SHIB. While the meme coin’s price has faced challenges, this unexpected buying spree has sparked speculation about a potential rebound.
This level of whale activity is unusual, especially during a period of price decline. It suggests that some large players see value in SHIB at these lower prices and are potentially accumulating.
The increased whale activity coincides with other potentially bullish indicators. Despite the recent dip, SHIB’s overall trading volume remains healthy, reaching $760 million within a 24-hour period as of Tuesday.
This confluence of factors—Crypto Sheriff’s bullish prediction, sustained trading volume, consolidation patterns, and increased whale activity—paints a potentially bullish picture for SHIB. While acknowledging the inherent volatility of the crypto market, these indicators suggest that the meme coin may be gearing up for a significant rebound.
However, investors should remain cautious and conduct thorough research before making any investment decisions. The broader cryptocurrency landscape remains complex, influenced by macroeconomic trends, regulatory developments, and overall investor sentiment.
Nonetheless, the recent surge in whale activity adds another layer of intrigue to SHIB’s narrative. If these large players continue accumulating SHIB, their actions could potentially create a self-fulfilling prophecy, driving up the price and potentially triggering the “legendary comeback” predicted by Crypto Sheriff.
Shiba Inu (SHIB) experienced a significant price surge on Tuesday, trading at $0.00001341 as of 5:42 AM ET. Despite this positive daily performance, the meme coin continues to grapple with a broader downward trend.
Trading volume for SHIB jumped 12.99% over the past 24 hours, reaching $760,482,059. However, the cryptocurrency is still down 19.90% over the past week and 18.01% in the last month.
With a circulating supply of 589,270,515,647,786 SHIB, Shiba Inu’s market capitalization climbed 14.65% to $7,917,185,931, as per CoinMarketCap’s data.
While today’s gains are noteworthy, the overall market performance indicates ongoing challenges for the meme coin.
