The Shiba Inu ecosystem has been subjected to updates in the last few days as developers look to bolster the cryptocurrency’s prospects in the long term. Behind the scenes, on-chain data also reveals a bullish trend among SHIB investors, with the exchange balance dropping to new lows.
Adding to the bullish case is the fact that SHIB’s price has bounced right off the key 0.618 Fibonacci ratio level, otherwise known as the “golden ratio.” These metrics, in combination, are particularly setting up the stage for a price surge that could see SHIB surging in the current market cycle.
Exchange Balances For SHIB Hit New Lows
According to CryptoQuant’s SHIB analytics dashboard, the total SHIB reserve on crypto exchanges has been on a free fall for the majority of this year. At the time of writing, the SHIB exchange reserve now stands at around 150 trillion tokens, compared to 164 trillion SHIB tokens on February 29. This means the total number of SHIB tokens in crypto exchange reserves has fallen by 14 trillion SHIB in less than two months.
The drop in exchange reserve is somewhat of a bullish indicator for SHIB, as it shows that holders are less liable to sell their coins and are instead opting instead to store them in private wallets. This outflow from exchanges has particularly been compounded in the last few weeks, with on-chain data revealing an increase in activity from Shiba Inu whales. An example is a recent accumulation of 237.8 billion SHIB tokens worth $6.9 million by a new whale address.
Furthermore, recent price action in recent months has seen the price of SHIB bouncing off the 0.618 Fibonacci ratio level on April 14th, setting up the stage for a golden ratio rebound. This is a key support level according to the Fibonacci tool, and the bounce indicated the start of a major uptrend. SHIB encountered this bounce on April 15 around the $0.00002117 price level after a correction of over 51% from its yearly high of $0.00004400.
Shiba Inu To $0.0001?
At the time of writing, SHIB was trading at $0.00002702, up by 19% in the past seven days. Interestingly, the SHIB price has increased by over 27% since its bounce above the golden cross to confirm the crypto has fully reversed into a bullish sentiment.
Fundamentals point to a continued SHIB price surge in the coming days amid mainstream interest and adoption. One of these is the recent $12 million investment raised by the Shiba Inu team to develop a layer-3 blockchain on top of Shibarium.
With supply on exchanges diminishing and SHIB building surging after bouncing off a key Fibonacci level, the ingredients are in place for a rebound to $0.00004400 or higher. If SHIB can clear this resistance, it opens up a run toward $0.00008616, which would represent a 218% increase from today’s price.
