The cryptocurrency market is closely monitoring Shiba Inu (SHIB) as the token encounters significant resistance near the $0.00002 threshold, despite its recent impressive performance.
The meme coin has demonstrated strong momentum, achieving a notable increase of almost 18% between November 5 and 6, and reaching its highest value in several months at $0.0000199.
According to data from the blockchain analytics platform IntoTheBlock, approximately 15,800 wallets currently hold a substantial position of 11.5 trillion SHIB, acquired at prices between the current market value and $0.00002.
This concentration of holdings represents a considerable challenge for the token’s upward trajectory, as these investors are currently in a loss position and may be motivated to sell once their break-even point is reached.
How Can this Affect Shiba Inu (SHIB)?
The potential selling pressure from these positions is particularly significant when quantified in monetary terms. At SHIB’s current price of $0.00001893, the accumulated holdings amount to over $217 million, representing one-third of SHIB’s present spot market trading volume. This substantial overhang of potential sell orders could significantly impact the token’s price dynamics in the near term.
Market analysts are particularly interested in how SHIB’s price action will develop given these circumstances. The meme coin’s ability to maintain its upward momentum while absorbing this potential selling pressure will be crucial for its short-term price performance. The situation presents a critical test of market demand and could provide valuable insights into the token’s underlying strength.

The concentration of losing positions near the $0.00002 mark creates a complex market dynamic. For SHIB to successfully breach this price level, sufficient buying pressure must emerge to absorb potential sell orders from current holders seeking to exit their positions at break-even points. This scenario creates a significant technical and psychological barrier the market must overcome.
What’s Next for SHIB?
Investors and traders are advised to monitor this situation closely, as the market’s response to this selling pressure could indicate future price movements. Several key factors will influence the outcome, and chief of these is the sustainability of current buying momentum.
The behavior of holders currently at a loss, and overall market sentiment and trading volume can also determine SHIB’s direction. Finally, the rate at which the market can absorb sell orders will determine whether the meme coin can hold the $0.00002 level or fall to pressure.
Amid potential selling pressure, Shiba Inu’s lead developer Shytoshi Kusama recently made a move that could renew the faith of many investors, especially now that Donald Trump, the pro-crypto candidate has won the election and is the president-elect.
