Shiba Inu (SHIB)

digitaltoday.co.kr reported that Shiba Inu's exchange holdings are nearing 88 trillion tokens, a level that may delay further price rebounds. Blockchain media outlet U.Today noted on September 27 that these holdings stood at approximately 87.7938 trillion tokens, marking an increase from the previous day. This rise in deposits suggests a buildup of tokens waiting to be sold, which typically weighs on short-term supply and demand.
The outlet highlighted that tokens flowing into reserves increased across supported exchanges over the past day, signaling strengthening selling pressure. Specifically, Shiba Inu's net exchange inflow showed a positive reading of more than 75 billion SHIB in the last 24 hours. A positive net inflow indicates that more tokens moved onto exchanges than moved off, implying investors are leaning toward selling.
Consequently, the price halted its recent rebound and slipped into a declining range, trading around $0.000005883. This shift reflects a slowdown in the broader market rally affecting investor sentiment across meme coins. The report emphasized that if buying fails to pick up, the pace of any price recovery is bound to slow. However, it noted that if exchange balances fall and buying returns, the recent rebound attempt could still resume.
How the market reacted
Whalio's own Binance spot order flow for SHIB, measured when this story was written up on 28 September 2026. Not the outlet's figures.
Whalio's Binance spot data for SHIB shows a price of $0.0002005930, with buy ratios of 43.7% over 1 hour and 47.1% over 4 hours compared to 48.1% over 24 hours. This indicates that buying pressure is fading in the short term relative to the daily average. The volume delta is negative across all timeframes, with -$27,267 in the last hour and -$42,214 over four hours. This negative delta means that sell volume exceeded buy volume during these periods, exerting downward pressure on the price. Over the full 24 hours, the volume delta stood at -$174,686, confirming that sellers dominated the trading activity. The cumulative volume delta (CVD) closed at -$377,132, further illustrating the net outflow of buying power.
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.
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 7-day average buy ratio was 50.7%, which is 2.6 percentage points higher than the latest day's reading. This suggests that the current day is less bullish than the weekly norm. Spot volume for the latest day was 0.51 times the weekly average, indicating significantly reduced trading activity. While the weekly volume delta was positive at $1,070,588, the daily delta is negative, marking a shift in momentum. The coin saw a price change of +8.0% over 8 days, but the current day's metrics show a clear deceleration in buying interest.
