Updated: Jan 10 2026- Selling Pressure Signal: Shiba Inu's reserves on exchanges have surpassed 82 trillion, indicating a growing tendency among investors to sell rather than hold, which poses a significant threat to the token's future and may hinder price recoveries.
- Price Action Constraints: SHIB's price has faced resistance at the 100-day Exponential Moving Average, where brief rallies have been followed by aggressive selling, reflecting a market trapped in prolonged distribution with shallow and short-lived price increases.
- Rising Address Activity: Although there has been a slight increase in active addresses, this activity is primarily linked to speculative trading rather than long-term investment, failing to provide a clear signal of market sentiment change.
- Structural Challenges: For SHIB to experience a significant trend reversal, a reduction in the amount of tokens held on exchanges is necessary, but with reserves consistently above 82 trillion, the likelihood of achieving this in the short term appears increasingly unlikely.
