Shiba Inu (SHIB) holders are currently navigating a challenging market landscape, as data reveals that approximately 73% of SHIB tokens are held at a loss. This development follows the meme coin’s inability to maintain its support level at $0.0000170, where investors previously acquired 496.48 trillion SHIB. As the price of SHIB hovers around $0.00001382 at press time, with a 24-hour trading volume of $164,532,936, the market outlook remains a focal point for both short-term traders and long-term holders.
The current price range of SHIB indicates varying levels of profitability among its holders. A small percentage of addresses acquired SHIB at prices between $0.0000000 and $0.000008, placing them in a favorable profit position.
Notably, a significant number of addresses fall within the $0.000008 to $0.000013 range, where these holders are also experiencing profits. On the other hand, a majority of addresses, especially those that purchased SHIB between $0.000014 and $0.000139, are currently at a loss. This distribution highlights the varied experiences of SHIB investors, depending on their entry points into the market.
With a large portion of addresses in the money, there is a potential for profit-taking, especially if the price nears or surpasses the $0.000014 mark. If many of these addresses start selling, it could apply downward pressure on the price. The weighted sentiment for SHIB has seen a decline, with the current level at -0.705, reflecting a generally negative market mood. This sentiment is further supported by the 30-day Market Value to Realized Value (MVRV) ratio, which stands at -11.9%.
This indicates that all SHIB investors over the last 30 days are, on average, experiencing an 11% loss. Moreover, the MVRV ratio over the past year has remained predominantly below 0%, underscoring a prolonged period of losses for SHIB holders.
Dormant circulation, a key indicator of long-term holder activity, has shown sporadic spikes, particularly in early March and late June 2024. These spikes suggest that long-term SHIB holders may be shifting their positions, potentially adding to market volatility.

However, the current levels of inflow and outflow activity are relatively low, indicating a phase of reduced trading activity as investors possibly await more favorable market conditions.
