SHIB address activity, exchange outflows
According to the Santiment report, SHIB active addresses are at a “crazy high” – they have noticed up to 4,500 active addresses per day and the activity does not drop to, say, 100-200 addresses. The analytics team points out this is a sign that this SHIB rally does have a fundamental justification.
According to them, Shiba Inu at the moment is among the top five most used coins on Ethereum. However, they have no idea who may be using SHIB so actively and what for.
Exchange outflows are not terrific, Santiment data shows, however, withdrawals at these levels are “generally good for a coin”. Active deposits are very much high, which Santiment experts believe to be a yellow flag, since this may indicate a price top forming for SHIB. The same shows a not very high exchange inflow.
Whale transaction count, “high risk, low reward”
As for the amount of transactions performed by SHIB whales, Santiment says that here there are some more yellow flags for the coin.
The reason for that is that according to their research published earlier, number of whale transactions often coincide with a local price top for a cryptocurrency. Overall, Santiment warns that the current situation with Shiba token may mean “high risk, low reward”.
Shiba Inu on top 13 spot
SHIB has rallied first to the top twenty place and by now it has reached the top 13 spot on the CoinMarketCap scale. The token’s price has hit $0.00003482, rising over 50 percent in the past twenty-four hours. The current price level of SHIB holds it just 18 percent from its all-time high of $0.0000388 it hit in mid-May.
In the meantime, the coin’s market capitalization value has surpassed a whopping $12 billion (that's more than Litecoin, Chainlink and Bitcoin Cash have) and its trading volume stands at over $18 billion as of now.
