Shiba Inu’s (SHIB) recent price crash may present an opportunity for investors, according to analysts at EverythingCryptoTalk. They argue that despite the token’s decline, larger investors — often referred to as whales or smart money — have been increasing their holdings.
Why Analysts See Opportunity in the Crash
The reasoning is simple: when smaller retail traders sell during a downturn, larger investors often step in to buy at lower prices. This is known as accumulation by smart money. Data from on-chain tracking platforms shows that wallets holding between 100 million and 1 billion SHIB, as well as those above 1 billion SHIB, have steadily increased their share of tokens throughout 2025.
In contrast, mid-sized wallets holding 1 million to 10 million SHIB have been selling off, while smaller holders also declined. This redistribution suggests that the token is moving away from retail investors and toward larger, more strategic players. Analysts say this shift often creates a foundation for price stabilization — and sometimes recovery — once selling pressure cools.

Can SHIB Break Above $0.00001375 Before More Losses Hit?
At the time of writing, Shiba Inu traded at $0.00001221, with a weekly decline of 6.17%. A closer look at SHIB’s daily chart shows the token trading just above its critical support zone at $0.00001222–$0.00001178. This range has been tested repeatedly, making it a vital level for short-term sentiment.
Above the price, several exponential moving averages (EMAs) cluster tightly: the 20-day EMA sits at $0.00001281, the 50-day at $0.00001299, the 100-day at $0.00001286, and the 200-day at $0.00001375. Because SHIB is below all of these averages, the short-term trend remains bearish. To reverse course, SHIB price would need to climb back above these averages, beginning with the 20-day EMA.
The relative strength index (RSI), a momentum indicator, is currently at 41.8. The RSI ranges from 0 to 100. Readings below 30 show that an asset is oversold, while readings above 70 mean it is overbought. With SHIB at 41.8, it is not oversold yet but is getting closer to levels where selling pressure often slows.
If Shiba Inu continues to hold the $0.00001178 support, analysts see scope for a rebound. In that case, the token could first retest the 20-day and 50-day EMAs, followed by the 200-day EMA near $0.00001375. A decisive break above this zone might pave the way toward $0.00001500 in the medium term.
If SHIB price falls below support, the next likely stop would be around $0.00001100, which could extend the current downtrend and weaken the case for accumulation by whales.
