Shiba Inu’s Slow Fade

by

The market offered up a six percent slip for Shiba Inu over the last turn of the sun, and a man could almost ignore it. These digital fields are prone to tremors, and a token built on a whisper, on a shared joke, will always feel the ground move quicker. It’s the nature of things, a restlessness in the ether. But a slow bleed, a wearing down over weeks, that’s a different kind of dust storm.

A year gone by has halved its worth, and that’s a hard reckoning for those who chased the high water mark. Sentiment hangs heavy in these parts, and a rally like those we’ve seen, a sudden blossoming, feels like a distant memory. It’s a long stretch of dry land between booms, and a man has to consider if the rain will ever come again.

Let’s look at the pressure, where it’s coming from, and what a man might glean from this slow settling of the dust.

A Waiting for the Turn?

The wind seems to be blowing from the pockets of the larger holders. Reports tell of twenty-four billion tokens moved on Binance, finding their way to a long-term keeper. A man might see that as a good sign – a whale taking a piece off the market, lessening the burden. But it’s a fragile hope. A large hand can just as easily crush what it holds.

The sight of those with plenty looking to shed their holdings doesn’t inspire confidence in those who have little. Transaction volume is thin, engagement weak—less than a million dollars locked in the system. A man feels a chill when the lifeblood slows to a trickle. It’s a signal, a whisper of retreat, and some will heed it, turning their backs on the field.

I can’t say when this will end, when the ground will firm up again. It feels a good deal like the winter of ’22, a long, hard freeze. A man is left to wonder if we’ll see a bottom form, a solid place to stand, or if things will simply worsen, the ground giving way beneath our feet. It’s a question that hangs in the air, unanswered, like the scent of rain on a distant horizon.
