u.today reports that Shiba Inu (SHIB) has experienced a substantial shift in exchange flows, with outflows surpassing inflows by approximately 406 billion tokens. The data shows exchange inflows at 287.2 billion SHIB against outflows of 356.7 billion, resulting in a negative netflow of 101.2 billion SHIB. This movement suggests that more tokens are leaving centralized exchanges than entering them, which may reduce immediate sell-side liquidity.
Total exchange reserves declined 0.11% over 24 hours to 88.03 trillion tokens, with a dollar value drop of 1.42% to $519.4 million. Despite this, the seven-day moving average of mean exchange outflows collapsed 51.4%, indicating weakened withdrawal intensity. Active addresses remained almost unchanged, rising just 0.87%, showing no explosion in network demand.
SHIB trades around $0.00000589, holding above the major long-term moving average near $0.00000565. The token struggles with the $0.00000600–$0.00000610 region, while the September peak around $0.00000630 remains a larger barrier. The RSI is moderately bullish without reaching overbought territory. The exchange data provides support, but bulls need a breakout above $0.00000610 to confirm the recovery.
