Shiba Inu (SHIB) has recently experienced a notable increase in exchange-related activity, yet key market indicators do not suggest an immediate end to its ongoing price decline. Despite a surge in certain inflow metrics, tokens are leaving trading platforms at a faster rate than they are entering.
Exchange Flows Reflect Complex Market Conditions
The seven-day moving average of mean exchange inflows marks one of the most significant changes for SHIB. Over the last 24 hours, this metric rose by 87.76%, with shorter-term measurements showing an increase near 128%. In total, SHIB experienced inflows of approximately 147.57 billion tokens, a 1.9% increase.
While higher exchange inflows typically signal a greater risk of selling—since assets on exchanges can be more easily traded—this metric only reveals part of the picture. Total outflows climbed even more sharply, up 4.27% to 234.62 billion SHIB over the same period.
These figures result in a net flow of about -87.05 billion SHIB, reflecting a further 3.82% decline. Analysis of larger transactions supports this dynamic: inflows among the top 10 exchanges reached 3.32 billion SHIB, while outflows from these platforms stood even higher at 4.51 billion tokens, showing an increase of 9.68% for outflows.

AAPLDespite the rise in inflows, SHIB is seeing stronger outflows from exchanges, leading to a net withdrawal of tokens and reduced overall supply held on trading platforms.
This net withdrawal dynamic creates a potential for a more favorable supply environment. Exchange reserves have dropped slightly, down 0.1% to stand at approximately 87.32 trillion SHIB.
Price Levels and Technical Signals
Despite these shifting on-chain movements, price action for SHIB remains subdued. The token continues to trade below key moving averages, currently sitting at around $0.00000443. Immediate resistance is noted between $0.00000447 and $0.00000457, with a more substantial barrier near $0.00000490. Meanwhile, the key long-term moving average is still much higher at $0.000577.
Technical momentum indicators such as the Relative Strength Index (RSI) hover near 44, which points to weak momentum rather than suggesting the onset of a bullish breakout.
Market Dynamics and Real Demand
While reduced reserves and net outflows may improve the supply landscape for SHIB, actual demand in the market remains crucial. The current bearish structure is expected to persist unless the token is able to turn these improved flow metrics into a sustained move above the $0.00000457–$0.00000490 range.
Despite potential long-term benefits from declining exchange reserves and positive net outflows, analysts point out that without a clear increase in demand and price momentum, these factors alone are not enough to reverse the current downward trend in SHIB.
Against the backdrop of these technical dynamics, traditional and crypto markets continue to converge on new solutions. While price action and capital flows remain under scrutiny, a broader shift is underway as Wall Street embraces Web3. Investors are choosing platforms like 1stepSwap to directly store shares of leading US companies, as well as gold and silver, within their crypto wallets. By tokenizing real-world assets (RWAs) and automating the search for optimal prices, such platforms remove the need for intermediaries.
Until SHIB overcomes immediate technical resistance and shows consistent demand, any potential upside from exchange outflows and declining reserves will likely remain limited.
