SHIB price analysis
Since Jan 4, Shiba Inu price action has formed two distinct troughs, resembling a bowl and a handle. From January 4 to February 9, SHIB developed a V-shaped trough known as a “handle” followed by a round-bottomed structure known as a “dish”. The bowl is not yet complete and SHIB price is hovering above a decisive support area in this region. If SHIB retests the $0.0000329 resistance, it will complete the formation. In this scenario, the pattern predicts a 38% increase to $0.000454 calculated by adding the depth of the circle to the breakout point at $0.0000329. As

If SHIB can break through the $0.0000329 hurdle, it will target $0.0000454, up 38%.
Ethereum whales buy SHIB
According to WhaleStats, the largest ETH whales have roughly $1.28 billion in SHIB, accounting for 14.17% of their total assets. SHIB has surpassed FTX, which has been in the top spot for a while, thanks to new acquisitions. ETH whales currently hold $1.15 billion in FTT, accounting for 12.82% of whale wallets’ total assets.
FTX Token currently ranks first among the top ten tokens sold in the last 24 hours. It ranks fourth among the top ten cryptocurrencies sold in the last 30 days.
