As whale movements and losses have people exclaiming 'pick the lesser evil', SHIB may escape with minimal losses.
SHIB has outperformed most memecoins in 2025, demonstrating resilience with only a 33% loss year-to-date.
Whale activity and the rising social heat suggest that there is increasing support behind SHIB's recent price recovery.
In a year where memecoins became a joke rather than a powerful tool, Shiba Inu [SHIB] quietly refused to yield.
SHIB may have fallen, but it has not been defeated; it has withstood the brutal storm of 2025 better than most of its peers. Now, some analysts are beginning to wonder if this memecoin is preparing for an unexpected backlash.
Shiba Inu survives the bloody massacre
Memecoins faced a brutal test in 2025, with heavyweight currencies like dogwifhat [WIF] and Floki [FLOKI] losing over 50%.
SHIB also failed to escape the painful blow - down 33.11% year-to-date - but it has shown significant resilience compared to its peers.
Despite losses from tokens like WIF and Popcat [POPCAT] expanding further into double digits, SHIB has successfully maintained a more stable position, becoming one of the better-performing assets in a heavily loss-laden industry.
In a market where DOGE has fallen over 40%, SHIB's relative strength is quietly attracting the attention of traders looking for the next breakout candidate.
Whales and Crowd Noise
SHIB's recent price recovery is not happening in a vacuum.
After weeks of reduced whale activity and social chatter, a calm transition occurred in April.
As SHIB's price hits bottom, whale trading volume over $1 million has begun to rise, accompanied by increased social volume.
The price rise in mid-April aligns with these subtle changes, indicating new accumulation and growing trader interest.
Although the rally has not yet exploded, the synchronization of whale activity and social participation indicates that its fundamentals are more solid than typical memecoin hype. If momentum continues to strengthen, it may further drive prices up.
SHIB: Momentum Strengthening, but Caution Remains
SHIB has maintained its upward trend recently, trading at around $0.00001387 at the time of publication. Despite a slight 2% pullback, technical indicators still favor the bulls.
The RSI is at 62, well above the neutral zone but not yet overbought - perhaps SHIB still has room for further gains.
Meanwhile, the MACD remains in a bullish crossover, with green bars continually expanding, indicating sustained positive momentum.
However, the slight declines in price and the RSI indicator suggest a cooling after a strong rally. If SHIB maintains support above $0.0000135, the rally could extend to $0.0000150.
However, a drop below this level could trigger a deeper pullback back to the $0.0000125 region.
