This recent accumulation coincides with a period of significant price volatility for SHIB. In early March, the token’s price skyrocketed to a yearly high of $0.0000445, fueled by renewed investor enthusiasm. This price surge likely enticed many short-term traders, who entered the market seeking quick gains.
However, this buying frenzy was followed by a wave of profit-taking. As the price peaked, many short-term investors sold their SHIB holdings, leading to a sharp decline. SHIB is currently trading at $0.00002789, much lower than its March peak. Despite this decline, Shiba Inu’s lead developer, Shytoshi Kusama, believes SHIB will dominate the current bull cycle.
The Long-Term Strategy
In contrast to the actions of short-term traders, long-term SHIB holders (those holding for more than a year) exhibited a more cautious approach. While SHIB’s price surge may have presented an opportunity to lock in profits, data from IntoTheBlock indicates that these investors reduced their holdings by only 9.07% over the past month. This suggests a greater focus on long-term value potential by this investor group.
