Shiba Inu Exchange Outflows Surge 121% Amid Rising Sell Pressure
Shiba Inu (SHIB)

bitcoinethereumnews.com reports that Shiba Inu recorded a 121.26% jump in its seven-day average exchange outflow over 24 hours, reaching approximately 579 million tokens. This metric typically signals accumulation, yet total inflows rose 182.3% to 1.68 billion tokens, creating a positive netflow of 86.53 billion SHIB. Consequently, more tokens are entering trading venues than leaving them, increasing the immediately liquid supply.
Exchange reserves grew by roughly 0.1% to 87.29 trillion SHIB, reinforcing the presence of sell-side pressure. This pattern mirrors late August, where positive netflows preceded a loss of momentum in the rally. The token is currently trading near $0.00000520, down almost 4% on the daily candle after failing to hold above $0.00000540.
A major technical support level sits near $0.00000500, while a moving-average barrier remains around $0.00000568. Derivatives open interest fell about 36% from $74.3 million to $47.9 million, indicating cooling speculative participation. The burn narrative provided little relief, with only 3.59 million SHIB burned in 24 hours, worth about $18. The key takeaway is that until the netflow flips negative, the 86.5 billion SHIB moving onto exchanges remains the dominant factor.
How the market reacted
Whalio's own Binance spot order flow for SHIB, measured when this story was written up on 5 September 2026. Not the outlet's figures.
Whalio’s Binance spot data shows a buy ratio of 51.4% over the last hour, rising from 44.4% over four hours and 43.0% over 24 hours. This indicates that short-term buying pressure is building relative to the broader daily trend. The one-hour volume delta is positive at +$9,319, contrasting with negative deltas of -$138,940 over four hours and -$545,166 over 24 hours. Volume delta measures the net value of market buy orders minus market sell orders, showing whether aggressive buyers or sellers are currently in control. The positive one-hour delta suggests immediate buying interest is outweighing selling pressure in the short term. However, the cumulative 24-hour delta remains negative, confirming that sellers have dominated the day overall.
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 buy ratio averaged 49.2%, with the latest day showing a 6.3-point drop from that average. Volume was 1.10 times the weekly average, indicating slightly higher activity than usual. Net buying occurred on only 2 of the 7 days, compared to 12 hours of net buying in the current 24-hour window. This suggests the current session is more balanced than the recent weekly trend, which was heavily skewed toward selling. The weekly volume delta totaled -$933,838, showing that the current day’s activity is a deviation from the prevailing weekly sell pressure.
