In a thrilling turn of events, following a remarkable week witnessed by Shiba Inu as its price soared nearly 200% in the past seven days, on-chain data unveiled by the blockchain tracker Whale Alert appears to be gaining noteworthy traction as it showcased the transfer of a whopping 1.9 trillion SHIB in the past 24 hours. Shiba Inu, an Ethereum-based meme coin, noted three massive transfers between wallets and CEXs, per the data, piquing the interest of crypto market traders and investors within the broader crypto market today. These transfers showcased a somewhat mixed sentiment among whales in the market, fueling further speculations.
Meanwhile, the token traded negatively as of press time, giving rise to conjectures over the possible influence of the large transfers on the dynamics of the SHIB market and its possible rise to the optimistic level of $0.0001. Data from derivatives also suggested that there was a pessimistic attitude in the market and that traders were still not as willing to take long positions.
According to the data revealed by Whale Alert, the three massive transactions showcasing the transfer of 1.8 trillion SHIB took place yesterday, March 5. Among these transactions, two showcased colossal amounts of SHIB shifted from Wintermute to Binance, both centralized exchanges. Whereas, the third transaction marked the shifting of 1.45 trillion SHIB between two unknown wallets, garnering further attention.
The transfer to Binance collectively totaled 350.87 billion SHIB, whereas the unknown wallet 0xeaee94df…f307b3d6ec was noted to be making the aforestated transfer to another unknown address, 0xff008f2d…471344bf99.
The transfer between wallets signaled a boosted sense of confidence among whales for SHIB, however, its price action contrasted with this sentiment.

As of writing, the Shiba Inu price dropped over 12% over the past 24 hours and is currently trading at $0.00003448. Notably, a 12.89% plunge in market cap, accompanied by an 8.50% dip in the token’s trading volume, birthed additional bearish sentiments for SHIB among crypto market enthusiasts. A 3.37% rise in the open interest and a 5.88% jump in the volume added to this bearishness, hinting at new money entering the market with aggressive new short-selling.
Even with today’s nearly 50% surge in the SHIB burn rate, the meme coin continued its bearish movement across the broader crypto market. However, with the recent developments unveiled in The Shib magazine’s latest edition weighing in, a slight wave of optimism for the meme coin prevails at present. As seen in SHIB’s previous chronicles, such as the launch of SHEboshi, SHIB rallied following the community’s advancements. Mirroring this, crypto market experts expect somewhat bolstered prices ahead, although the current sentiment seems bearish for SHIB.
Analysis by Coingape Media suggested that SHIB stands at a vital point, setting sights on the resistance level of $0.000045. A break above this threshold could potentially pave the road to notable upswings, reaching targets of $0.00009 or the highly optimistic $0.0001 level. However, a fall beneath $0.000040 could lead to a plunge toward the $0.000030 support zone.
