SHIB: Breaking down impact of $2.4M whale action on memecoin

• Shiba Inu whale withdrawals from Coinbase spark speculation of a possible bullish trend
• SHIB’s technicals showed fragile momentum, indicating caution amid growing market interest

The market has been eerily calm lately, with Shiba Inu [SHIB] stuck in a tight range despite the recent chaos. It’s been a week since the largest liquidation event in digital asset history, and SHIB remains largely unmoved.

Is this the quiet before a storm, or is there something more lurking beneath the surface of this memecoin’s muted price action?

SHIB: A mysterious whale emerges with massive withdrawals

Recent data reveals an intriguing development. Over the past five days, an unknown wallet, linked to the address “0xB7e09,” has withdrawn nearly 151.61 billion SHIB from Coinbase.

This staggering amount of memecoins, valued at around $2.41 million at today’s prices, has caught the attention of market watchers.

An enigmatic wallet with no history

What makes this situation even more fascinating is the mystery surrounding the wallet itself. The address shows no prior history with Shiba Inu tokens, raising questions about the identity of the investor behind these large withdrawals.

Every transaction has been initiated from Coinbase’s address, suggesting the funds might be tied to the exchange itself. If this is the case, the activity could simply reflect routine internal operations.

However, if it’s not, then the market could be witnessing the early stages of a massive SHIB accumulation by a major investor.

One of the largest SHIB outflows in recent history

The scale of these withdrawals has been so significant that this wallet has now become one of the largest sources of Shiba Inu outflows from exchanges in the past 24 hours.

While it’s still unclear where this activity will lead, one thing is certain: the intentions of this mysterious whale are becoming more apparent, and they appear to be on the bullish side.

As for what this means for SHIB’s future, only time will tell.

SHIB: Price outlook

SHIB is showing early signs of a potential reversal after weeks of decline, but momentum remains fragile. At press time, SHIB wass trading at $0.00001624, up 2.72% in the last 24 hours.

However, the RSI sat at 39.96, indicating that the asset is still in bearish territory but moving away from oversold conditions.

If RSI trends above 40, it could signal growing buying pressure.

The OBV remains subdued despite recent price movements, suggesting a lack of strong accumulation. SHIB’s key resistance lies near $0.00001750, a level that needs to be breached for any sustained recovery.

A failure to break above this level could lead to further consolidation or a retest of the $0.000015 support zone.

While recent whale accumulation hints at bullish sentiment, SHIB’s technicals suggest a cautious outlook. A decisive close above resistance with rising volume could fuel a short-term rally.

However, for now, the memecoin remains in a delicate phase where traders should watch for confirmation signals before expecting a strong breakout.
