What happened? SHIB’s exchange flows have almost flatlined, showing very low trading activity.
Trading activity for Shiba Inu fell to just about 94 billion tokens (roughly $850,000), which is tiny compared to its $5.3 billion market cap. That flatline suggests both buyers and sellers are hesitant, and technicals show SHIB retesting the lower boundary of a six-month descending channel. Historically this kind of stagnation either leads to a slow decline as interest fades or a quiet accumulation that can set the stage for a rebound.
Who does this affect? Traders, long-term SHIB holders, and meme-coin investors watching rotations.
Short-term traders and anyone using leverage face higher risk because low liquidity can amplify price moves and slippage. Long-term holders may see a continued slow bleed unless a clear catalyst appears, while speculators could pivot to other meme coins. That rotation is already visible with projects like MaxiDoge raising interest and funds, which can siphon capital away from SHIB.
Why does this matter? It could shift market flows and price direction for SHIB and the wider meme-coin market.
If SHIB breaks key support around $0.0000085 it could drop toward a $0.0000067 demand zone (about 25% lower), but regaining $0.000012 would reopen a path to much higher targets and a possible 170% move. A rotation of capital into alternatives like MaxiDoge — which has raised millions and offers staking rewards — could amplify downside pressure on SHIB. Broader macro fears (like the U.S. government shutdown and growth concerns) also reduce risk appetite, meaning market sentiment will likely determine whether SHIB fades further or quietly accumulates for a rebound.
