SHIB Exchange Net Inflow Rises to 53.8 Billion Tokens in 24 Hours

Net Inflow Reached 53.8 Billion Tokens

In the 24 hours to 04:19 UTC on Saturday, the Shiba Inu (SHIB) price recovered from an intraday low of $0.00000493 and traded up to roughly $0.00000510, even as on-chain flow data recorded a pronounced build-up of tokens on exchanges. Total exchange reserves rose 0.06% to 87.2364 trillion Shiba Inu (SHIB) over the same window, a pool worth $441.4 million after a 0.86% daily increase in value. Reserves represent the share of total supply held in exchange wallets, so their growth means market-facing supply expanded even as price tried to recover. The net exchange inflow, the difference between tokens deposited and tokens withdrawn, reached 53.8027 billion SHIB, a 3.69% daily rise, with gross deposits of 256.4373 billion tokens against withdrawals of 202.6345 billion. Our live monitoring now puts SHIB at about $0.00000497, roughly 0.4% below where it stood when the flow snapshot was taken and down 1.4% on the day, so part of the bounce has already been given back.

For a memecoin with no cash-flow backing, exchange balances act as a direct gauge of sell-side supply: tokens parked on trading venues can be sold within seconds, and a rising reserve count enlarges the pool positioned for exit. That is why the combination in this dataset, higher exchange balances alongside a recovering price, is read as a warning about the durability of the bounce rather than as confirmation of it. Holders who move tokens onto exchanges during a recovery are typically preparing either to take profit or to cut losses quickly if the move fails. Balances climbing while price sits under key moving averages point to growing downside pressure, and the flow data shows that pattern clearly this session. The build-up is also not an isolated day: earlier 24-hour readings this week logged a netflow spike of 77.3 billion tokens and a 63.49 billion token net inflow.

Our live readings frame how fragile the setup is. The Shiba Inu (SHIB) chart carries a bearish MACD signal and a downtrend label on our composite, and the relative strength index stands at 39.82, just under the 40 to 45 band the daily snapshot had shown. Positioning is light rather than crowded: the perpetual funding rate sits at 0.0060% and aggregate open interest at roughly $10.05 million, so leverage is not amplifying either side of the book. Sentiment sits in neutral: our Fear and Greed Index reading is 51 out of 100, nowhere near the fear typical of a bear market, but far from the greed that fuels squeezes. What would change the picture first is a sustained reversal of the exchange inflow, or a daily close back above $0.00000525.

Moving Averages Still Cap the Recovery

Underneath the flow numbers, network activity held steady instead of expanding. The daily transaction count rose 0.98% to 4,634, and active addresses grew 1% over the same window. On-chain data therefore shows usage continuing, but neither figure points to a surge in fresh demand; both are single-percent moves, not the jump a durable recovery needs. The burn record was equally modest: 1.8828 million Shiba Inu (SHIB) were burned, and while the seven-day view contains one noticeable one-off burn spike, the volume is far too small to alter the total supply picture. On the daily chart, SHIB still sits below the moving averages that have capped it for weeks. The 100-day average holds near $0.00000525 and the 200-day average at about $0.00000558, forming an overhead band the token must clear to confirm any reversal. Buyers would need to push a daily close above $0.00000525 to strengthen the recovery; anything less leaves the ceiling intact. Volume has declined in recent days, so the attempt to reclaim $0.000005 did not rest on heavy buying. The nearest support, the $0.00000480 to $0.00000493 zone, was defended across recent sessions after the October breakdown, and a break under it would bring $0.00000450 back into view. The condition now in place is not new: the token has traded below its 100-day average since that breakdown, and the exchange reserve build has run across consecutive daily readings. The full set of levels for the Shiba Inu ecosystem is tracked in our SHIB technical analysis. What decides the next move is whether the 53.8 billion tokens that arrived on exchanges this session convert into sell orders, or whether buyers defend the $0.00000480 floor again.
