The daily chart shows a sustained move higher with a firm trend and 10.36% weekly volatility. Bullish momentum is reinforced by a strong buy signal on the MACD and an ADX value of 30.91.
The nearest support sits at $0.00000558, with resistance at $0.00000607, while the Ichimoku Kijun at $0.00000551 provides additional support. For the next 7 days, Shiba Inu is expected to trade within a range of $0.00000569 to $0.00000642. Analysts noted that intensified regulatory scrutiny is raising the bar for compliance, particularly for investment products employing complex tax strategies. Traders are advised to monitor $0.00000607 as a key level that could define the next phase of price action.
How the market reacted
Whalio's own Binance spot order flow for SHIB, measured when this story was written up on 2 October 2026. Not the outlet's figures.
Whalio data shows SHIB trading at $0.000005790 with a 1-hour buy ratio of 53.7% against a 24-hour ratio of 52.2%. The 4-hour buy ratio is lower at 37.6%, indicating that buying pressure is fading on the medium-term timeframe compared to the short term. Volume delta reflects this shift, showing positive inflows of +$24,380 in the last hour but a net outflow of -$927,217 over four hours. Over the past 24 hours, the volume delta was +$161,987, suggesting net buying occurred during that period despite a cumulative CVD close of -$758,544. The buy ratio represents the proportion of buy volume relative to total volume, while volume delta measures the net value of buys minus sells. These figures indicate that while short-term buying is active, the broader four-hour trend shows sellers are currently dominating the flow.
The latest daily buy ratio of 45.6% sits at the 11th percentile of the last 322 days, against a median of 48.8% - weaker buying than most days.
