Popular meme coin Shiba Inu (SHIB) has experienced a relatively calm period of on-chain activity in recent weeks. This calm pace has been mirrored in the token’s price action, which has remained largely stable without any major fluctuations. However, despite this apparent lull, a trend of significant SHIB outflows across various crypto exchanges has emerged this week.  According to on-chain data, 307 billion SHIB tokens were withdrawn in the past 24 hours. This mass withdrawal seems to raise curiosity, especially since this was not an isolated event. Interestingly, this data peaked at 2.179 trillion SHIB earlier in the week.  Whales Pull Out Millions Worth Of SHIB From Exchanges Data from CryptoQuant shows that more than 309 billion SHIB tokens were taken out of aggregated crypto exchanges on September 11. Taking into account the current price of SHIB, it amounts to over $4 million. Furthermore, the data showed that a similar amount was withdrawn from crypto exchanges on September 10. A withdrawal peak was registered on September 9, a day which was highlighted with 2.179 trillion SHIB tokens being withdrawn from crypto exchanges. At the time of withdrawal, the tokens were worth approximately $29.5 million.  Related Reading: End Of The Road For NEIRO? Crypto Analyst Predicts Breakdown Below $0.13 The notable increase in transactions is supported by similar data from IntoTheBlock (ITB). Interestingly, this one sheds light on activity predominantly driven by so-called “whales,” or large holders of the cryptocurrency. ITB’s data highlights that over the past seven days, the volume of transactions whose value exceeds $100,000 has surged to a total of $143.68 million.  While this might not be as much during a strong bull rally, it represents an increase of almost 60% from the previous seven-day timeframe. Such a marked increase suggests that large holders are starting to take advantage of the lower prices to buy the dip.  Is A Shiba Inu Rally Brewing? This sharp increase in outflows is likely to catch the attention of SHIB investors. The implications could point to renewed confidence in SHIB, and a bullish trend could emerge soon.

However, bullish supporters have been largely successful in minimizing losses and have consistently defended the $0.000010 support level throughout the month. As of the latest update, Shiba Inu has seen a slight price increase alongside many other cryptocurrencies over the past 24 hours. SHIB is currently trading at $0.00001343, reflecting a 1.5% rise. The price is expected to rise further if the trend of strong SHIB outflows from exchanges continues. Similarly, a sustained move above $0.000014 could push SHIB past its August high of $0.00001607 in the short term. Featured image created with Dall.E, chart from Tradingview.com
