Sellers Defend Trendline As Whale Activity Signals Volatility Ahead

• SHIB trades inside a tightening triangle, with sellers defending $0.00000885 and buyers holding rising support at $0.00000833.
• Whale transactions surge to the highest level since June, while more than 1T SHIB moves onto exchanges in 24 hours.
• Spot outflows remain heavy, limiting momentum as price struggles to flip the Supertrend and reclaim short-term resistance.

Shiba Inu price today trades near $0.00000851 as the token moves inside a narrowing triangle on the 4 hour chart. Price remains capped beneath the descending trendline while buyers attempt to hold the rising base near $0.00000833. 

Buyers Struggle Beneath Trendline Resistance

SHIB continues to trade below the descending trendline that has rejected every rally since early November. The latest test near $0.00000885 failed again as sellers defended the 100 day and 200 day EMAs clustered around the same region. The EMA stack is tilted downward, and each bounce has lost momentum before reaching the upper boundary.

The lower side of the structure is rising, which keeps short term volatility compressed. The support at $0.00000833 has held multiple times, but the inability to break above $0.00000885 shows that buyers are not yet strong enough to shift trend control. As long as SHIB remains trapped between these two levels, the chart leans corrective rather than impulsive.

The Parabolic SAR is currently turning neutral after several bearish prints, indicating attempts to stabilize but not a confirmed shift. Price will need a clean move above the trendline before momentum can flip.

Whale Transfers Surge As Supply On Exchanges Jumps

Santiment data shows a major spike in whale activity, with more than 400 transactions above $100,000 recorded in one day. 

This is the highest level of large value transfers since June. At the same time, the amount of SHIB sitting on exchanges increased by more than 1 trillion tokens in the past 24 hours.

Spot Outflows Remain Heavy As Liquidity Stays Thin

Coinglass data shows SHIB recorded roughly $351,000 in net outflows in the past 24 hours. Outflows have dominated for most of the past month, and the pattern continues to weigh on sentiment.

When outflows persist while the price trades near the bottom of a compression pattern, buyers often hesitate to step in with conviction. Liquidity leaves the ecosystem instead of entering it, and intraday recoveries lose strength quickly. 

Short Term Chart Shows Range Bound Behavior

The 30 minute chart shows SHIB moving inside a mild ascending channel with support near $0.00000842 and resistance near $0.00000860. The Supertrend remains red, showing that momentum is still tilted against buyers even inside the channel.

RSI sits near 51, which signals balance rather than directional conviction. The indicator has failed to push above 60 for three straight sessions, reflecting a lack of sustained buying. Price continues to slip lower within the channel each time the Supertrend band rejects the advance.

A close above $0.00000860 would flip short term structure and allow bulls to test the upper channel boundary again. Failure to hold $0.00000842 tilts the range into a deeper retest of the broader triangle floor.

Outlook. Will Shiba Inu Go Up?

The next move depends on whether buyers can reclaim the descending trendline at $0.00000885. A close above this level with rising volume would restore short term bullish momentum and open the path toward $0.00000905 and $0.00000930. Whale activity would then act as fuel for an upside breakout rather than a risk factor.

The bearish case centers on the rising support at $0.00000833. Losing this level confirms a clean breakdown from the multi week triangle and exposes the next liquidity zone near $0.00000810. Below that level, the structure shifts toward a broader corrective phase, especially if exchange supply continues to rise.

If buyers reclaim $0.00000885 and hold it, SHIB gains room for trend continuation. Losing $0.00000833 turns the pattern into a breakdown and invites deeper pressure into the lower ranges.
