SHIB outflows collapse 75% as exchange reserves grow
Shiba Inu (SHIB)

u.today reports that Shiba Inu's price chart is stabilizing, yet a key metric signals potential trouble for bulls. The seven-day moving average of mean exchange outflows has dropped by 75.55% to roughly 261.7 million SHIB. This sharp contraction suggests a weakening in the accumulation source, as tokens leaving platforms for private wallets typically indicate reduced sell-side liquidity.
Conversely, the seven-day moving average of mean inflows rose by 24.13% to 595.68 million SHIB. Total exchange inflows increased by 1.48% to about 398.35 billion SHIB, shifting the short-term balance from withdrawals to deposits. SHIB's exchange reserve grew by 0.29% to approximately 87.21 trillion tokens, increasing the supply available for immediate selling.
Despite this divergence, overall exchange netflow decreased by 10.29%, indicating no complete capitulation event. The token trades at approximately $0.00000524, holding above the cluster of shorter moving averages between $0.00000503 and $0.00000499. The next major barrier sits at $0.00000569, corresponding to the 200-day moving average. Holding $0.00000500 is becoming crucial, as a breakdown could reveal the 50-day moving average near $0.00000478.

SHIB is trading at $0.000005180 with a 1-hour buy ratio of 54.5%, indicating immediate buying pressure. However, this momentum fades over longer timeframes, with the 4-hour buy ratio at 50.1% and the 24-hour ratio dropping to 48.8%. Volume delta reflects this shift, showing a positive +$52,266 in the last hour but turning negative at -$74,938 over 24 hours. The cumulative volume delta (CVD) for the 24-hour close is -$86,347, confirming that net selling pressure has outweighed buying over the day. Only 10 out of 24 hours saw net buying, suggesting inconsistent support. Spot volume for the period was $3,176,171 across 27,861 trades.
The latest daily buy ratio of 43.0% sits at the 2nd percentile of the last 281 days, against a median of 48.8% - among the weakest buying days it has had.
Was that an ordinary day?
The same Binance spot measurements for SHIB, averaged over the days leading up to the story.
Over the preceding week, the average buy ratio was 49.6%, making the current 24-hour reading of 48.8% slightly weaker by 0.8 points. Volume relative to the weekly average stands at 0.91x, indicating lower-than-average trading activity. While the 1-hour data shows strong buying, the weekly context reveals only 3 days of net buying out of 7. The 8-day volume delta total was -$290,187, contrasting with the positive short-term delta. This suggests that despite hourly spikes, the broader trend remains slightly bearish with a 3.4% price change over 8 days.
