Popular crypto transaction tracking service Lookonchain highlighted this development on Thursday, just as the market anticipates an imminent breakout in SHIB prices. Notably, the noteworthy purchase is part of a larger trend, with four whales amassing a total of 2.4 trillion SHIB from various exchanges over the past month.
One noteworthy instance involves a whale accumulating 1.44 trillion SHIB worth $14.54 million from both Binance and Gateio in the last three days. Another whale amassed 237.87 billion SHIB worth $2.4 million from Binance 19 days ago. Additionally, it’s worth recalling that Justin Sun acquired 577 billion $SHIB from Binance about 22 days ago.
That said, the latest whale acquisition unfolds against a backdrop of strategic token removals from circulation. Just a day ago, and undisclosed entity moved 9.3 billion SHIB to a “dead wallet” with the burn rate skyrocketing over 27,500% in under 24 hours as seen on Shibburn.
Concurrently, data from crypto analytics firm IntoTheBlock revealed a staggering 1,300% surge in large transactions by SHIB whales between Tuesday and Wednesday. These transactions, involving at least $100,000 worth of SHIB, numbered 62 and amounted to 9.38 trillion SHIB, valued at nearly $89.88 million.
  
Despite these developments, the “Dogecoin killer” has lagged behind other cryptocurrencies. Notably, in the past month, while Bitcoin (BTC) increased by 9.70% and Ethereum (ETH) by 17.85 %, SHIB registered a modest 5.86% gain, according to CoinMarketCap.
Shiba Inu’s recent price fluctuations have prompted a more detailed analysis of critical support and resistance levels. The recent rebound above the 100 Exponential Moving Average is particularly noteworthy and considered a bullish signal. Presently, Shiba Inu is confronting its most pivotal resistance at around $0.0000116. A breakthrough and sustained closure above this level might indicate a potential recovery, whereas a decline below it could trigger additional sell-offs.
Adding to the bullish perspective is the observation that the price is currently within a “falling wedge”, a robust bullish reversal pattern. The breakout from this pattern is often considered a strong indication of a potential upward trend.
At press time, SHIB was trading at $0.0000090, reflecting a surge of 2.85% over the past 24 hours.
