Whales making move on SHIB

Shiba Inu large holders, or whales, seem to be making moves on the market, as evidenced by a mild increase in large transactions.

According to IntoTheBlock, large transaction surges are linked to increased activity from whales, who are either buying or selling, and a transaction is generally more than $100,000. In the last 24 hours, large transactions were up 31% as Shiba Inu sustained above the $0.000010 mark.

At the time of publication, SHIB was trading at $0.0000103, marginally down in the last 24 hours. Around this time last year, Shiba Inu kickstarted a bull run and resolved a bullish pennant, which culminated in its present all-time high of $0.000088.

Shiba Inu remains down nearly 88.36% from this peak at current prices, being no different from other cryptocurrencies buffeted by bearish market conditions that have been prevailing since the start of 2022.
