Updated: Jan 08 2026- Supply Surge: Shiba Inu's supply on exchanges has exceeded 82 trillion, indicating a growing readiness among holders to sell, which intensifies market sell pressure and keeps price performance under strain.
- Market Structure Shift: As exchange reserves increase, SHIB's price rebounds face resistance; despite brief recoveries, each attempt is quickly met with selling, reflecting traders' use of strength as an exit opportunity.
- Liquidity Challenges: The substantial supply of SHIB held on exchanges creates persistent overhead resistance, making it difficult for buyers to absorb selling pressure, which exacerbates volatility and hinders clear upward momentum.
- Psychological Factors: Market psychology becomes cautious as rising exchange reserves shape expectations of further selling, limiting fresh inflows; thus, SHIB's long-term commitment appears weak, with activity focused on short-term trades rather than accumulation.
