SHIB slips to $0.000005 as bearish signals emerge
Shiba Inu (SHIB)

Cryptocurrency.com.tr reports that Shiba Inu has slipped toward $0.000005 after failing to maintain control above the $0.000006 level. The meme coin briefly reclaimed $0.000006 earlier in the week, but buyers lost momentum near that key threshold. Selling pressure has since returned, weakening the short-term bullish structure for the token.
Weakness across the Shibarium network has raised fresh concerns regarding network activity. Bitcoin has also fallen toward $79,000, adding further pressure to riskier tokens. Liquidity conditions present another potential challenge for meme coins in the current market.
With inflation still elevated, investors are advised to watch Federal Reserve policy closely. Traders are now focusing on whether buyers can defend the $0.000005 region. SHIB could face deeper losses if these bearish pressures continue to intensify.
How the market reacted
Whalio's own Binance spot order flow for SHIB, measured when this story was written up on 31 August 2026. Not the outlet's figures.
Whalio spot data shows SHIB trading at $0.000004960 with a 1-hour buy ratio of 37.5% and a 4-hour buy ratio of 48.2%. These short-term readings are lower than the 24-hour buy ratio of 49.2%, indicating that buying pressure is fading in the immediate term. The volume delta is negative across all timeframes, with -$36,661 in the last hour and -$20,493 over four hours. This negative delta means that sellers are executing larger market orders than buyers, pushing the price down. Despite this, the 24-hour CVD remains positive at +$2,906, showing that limit orders have absorbed some selling over the full day.
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.
Twenty-four hours later

Only three of the past seven days saw net buying, highlighting a recent shift toward sustained selling pressure.
