Shiba Inu (SHIB) is showing early signs of recovery, gaining ground from recent lows as its RSI rebounds and key support levels hold. Despite these positive signals, SHIB failed to break above the RSI 51 mark and continues to face pressure from bearish EMA alignments.
At the same time, whale activity has been steadily declining, suggesting reduced confidence from large holders and raising questions about long-term support. With price action stuck between major support and resistance zones, SHIB’s next move will likely depend on whether momentum strengthens—or fades once again.
Shiba Inu Momentum Improves, But RSI Rejection Signals Caution
Shiba Inu has seen a shift in momentum, with its Relative Strength Index (RSI) rising to 47 from 30.18 just three days ago, signaling a recovery from near-oversold conditions.
However, it’s worth noting that SHIB failed to break above the 51 RSI mark yesterday, suggesting that bullish momentum remains fragile for now.
While the recent bounce reflects easing selling pressure, the inability to push into clearly bullish territory indicates ongoing hesitation among buyers.

The RSI, or Relative Strength Index, is a momentum oscillator that gauges the speed and magnitude of price changes, helping identify overbought or oversold conditions.
Readings below 30 point to oversold levels, while values above 70 suggest overbought territory. With SHIB’s RSI now sitting at 47, the asset remains in a neutral zone—neither overextended nor deeply discounted.
This mid-range positioning leaves room for either a breakout or a reversal, depending on how price action develops around current resistance and support levels.
Decline in SHIB Whales Signals Potential Weakness Ahead
The number of Shiba Inu whales—wallets holding at least 1 billion tokens—has been gradually declining since June 11, falling from 10,259 to 10,231.
While the drop may seem modest, it reflects a slow but steady reduction in large holder participation, which could signal weakening confidence among major players.
A consistent downtrend in whale activity often correlates with diminished support during volatile phases, making SHIB more vulnerable to price swings.

Tracking whale behavior is critical because large holders can influence price movements through sudden buys or sells. A rising whale count often suggests accumulation and long-term confidence, while a declining number may imply distribution or exit.
With SHIB whale wallets shrinking, it could indicate that major investors are either taking profits or hedging against further downside.
If this trend continues, it may add pressure on SHIB’s price, especially if retail interest fails to offset the whale outflows.
SHIB Holds Key Support, But Bearish EMAs Keep Bulls in Check
Shiba Inu price recently tested and held the key support level at $0.0000119, offering a temporary floor despite broader bearish signals.
The token’s Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) remain in a bearish alignment, with short-term EMAs positioned below long-term ones—indicating ongoing downward pressure.
If this support is retested and fails to hold, SHIB could slide toward the next critical level at $0.0000114, potentially opening the door for further downside.

However, if sentiment shifts and SHIB manages to build upward momentum, the price could challenge the immediate resistance at $0.0000128.
A breakout above this level may trigger a rally toward $0.0000136, and if buying pressure continues, even a push to $0.0000146 is possible.
For now, SHIB is trapped between crucial support and resistance zones, and a clear break in either direction will likely define its short-term trajectory.
