AAPLSHIB continued to face a dip as its price chart remained in the negative region. According to CoinMarketCap, SHIB’s price declined by more than 4% in the last 24 hours. At the time of writing, SHIB was trading at $0.000006559 with a market capitalization of over $3.8 billion. However, Shibarium’s success wasn’t enough to change the market sentiment surrounding SHIB.

Shiba Inu Commentary: Whales Are Stepping Back
The price movement of SHIB affected its popularity among whales. According to Whalestats, SHIB was the most traded token among the top 100 ETH whales in the last 24 hours. However, it ranked 12th on the list of cryptocurrencies these whales bought. Therefore, it appears that major players in the crypto space might be selling their SHIB assets. CryptoQuant had recently pointed to a promising bull signal for better days ahead.
Shiba Inu’s Relative Strength Index (RSI) is in the oversold position, which could increase buying pressure in the coming days. SHIB’s net deposits on exchanges were also lower than the 7-day average.
Moreover, SHIB’s off-exchange supply reversed its exchange supply. This is a typical bull signal and indicates buying pressure in the market. However, SHIB’s MVRV Ratio significantly dropped at the time of writing, which could pose a problem.
