On-chain Data Suggests Massive Sell Pressure For SHIB
Shiba Inu wasn’t left out of these price declines, as price action shows the crypto’s price dropping as high as 10% yesterday. In a recent social media post by OnchainDataNerd, the large transaction monitor noted a deposit of 4.29 trillion SHIB tokens into Coinbase by 10 whale wallets. At the time of transfer, these tokens were worth around $97.33 million. The huge transfer to Coinbase means the whales now have a convenient way to offload their holdings, which could introduce new selling pressure to the market.
OnchainDataNerd also pointed out that the transaction pattern from these whale wallets might indicate that they are under the same entity’s control. The tokens were accumulated in two different periods in September 2021 and March 2024, with an average entry price of $0.00001309. With SHIB now trading well above $0.000022, a total selloff of the tokens would generate a $41.22 million profit for the whale(s).

Shiba Inu Price Needs Buyers To Rebound
At the time of writing, SHIB is trading at $0.00002217 and is down by 15.10% in the past seven days. The cryptocurrency has tested support at $0.00002117 two times in the past 24 hours and is at risk of a further decline in the midst of selling pressure. For the Shiba Inu price to rebound in the face of massive selling pressure, there needs to be enough buyers to absorb the excess supply.
