Known meme coin Shiba Inu (SHIB) is hogging the headlines; massive accumulators are increasing efforts due to a volatile market. The latest data shows inflow from large holders has increased by 555% within the last 90 days, which means major stakeholders are taking positions to capitalize on an expected increase in value. This is especially significant due to the total bearish sentiment that many are experiencing across the crypto market.
Shiba Inu: Growing Market Trend
While the market sentiment seems still negative, the current trend of Shiba Inu shows a developing resilience. According to Santiment, while the broader crypto market was marked by fear and uncertainty, the negative sentiment in SHIB has gone down dramatically by 718% within just one day.
This sharp decline in percentage indicates growing investor pessimism, especially considering the fact that the price of SHIB had dropped from its weekly high at $0.00001929 below $0.000017. But this silver lining, as it is, shows that the 7-day sentiment for SHIB has spiked upward by over 2,800% and might be an antidote for the asset to get a bounce-back.

What is even more interesting is that it may be an opportunity for brilliant traders to play along. If the sentiment went bearish, then, generally speaking, price moved in the opposite direction. In the case of weighted sentiment being positive at 339% for 30 days for SHIB, hope is still not completely lost and maybe, it will be rallying within the coming days.
Whale Activities Up
The significant increase in large-holder inflows is particularly telling. Over the last three months, these inflows surged by 554.88%, indicating that major investors see value in accumulating SHIB at current prices. In fact, there was also a 163% increase in inflows over the past month, and even a modest uptick of 1.29% in the last week.
Larger Holders End August With Neutral Positions
Despite these positive indicators from large holders, trading volume has seen a slight decline of 5.23% in one day. This drop indicates that many investors are still hesitant to make significant moves in this volatile environment. They may be waiting for clearer signals before committing to trades.
Further out, SHIB appears to be on an uptrend at a much slower pace, with a projected 90% rise for the next six months, possibly due to growing interest in the long-term potential, data from CoinCheckup shows. Even more encouraging, analysts also project a strong rise of 76% over the next year, clearly outlining positive growth expectations commensurate with the incrementing adoption of SHIB and its use cases.
