Shiba Inu Shock: Billions Flee Exchanges as Rally Hopes Rise

by

That Shiba Inu, a meme with more grit than a mule and less polish than a pewter teapot, looks to be stirring up a breakout amid a market that ticks and tocks like a clock in a howling gale, while exchange flows murmur that demand is waking.

After a spell of calm, the Shiba Inu exchange flow metric has turned red in the last day, slipping about 1%, like a riverboat poker hand that suddenly goes dry.

With that dip, it seems the number of SHIB coins hauled to the exchanges for sale is less than the number snatched up from the exchanges by buyers, by a hefty margin.

CryptoQuant tells us netflow across all supported exchanges sits at -31,737,600,000 as of Jan. 25.

Shiba Inu headed for recovery?

That bullish flow arrives right in the teeth of a market that has been in a bloodbath, with meme tokens like SHIB taking a tumble.

Though SHIB still bleeds red-down 1.45% in the last day-the thinning selling pressure hints demand is rising, and the price correction may be near its end.

Netflow is simply the difference between inflows and outflows; it means more SHIB has been scooped from exchanges in big buy moves than has been dumped back in for selling-by more than 30 billion tokens.

So momentum may be edging back into the Shiba ecosystem, and prices perhaps headed for a recovery in the near term.

With this metric, many small and large SHIB holders seem to have little interest in unloading as demand grows.

Rather than the long, sad parade of panic selling, folks are drifting their coins into self-custody wallets to sit tight a while longer.

Notably, the metric has stirred hopes that a bigger rally might be brewing as selling pressure subsides and appetite for the leading meme asset grows.
