- Shiba Inu (SHIB) shows resilience as its holder count hits an all-time high, and whales accumulate 874 billion tokens, signaling potential recovery.
- SHIB’s exchange reserves drop to a record low of 14.5% of supply, reducing selling pressure and setting the stage for a possible rally to $0.0003.
Despite sliding to a 13-month low of $0.0000010 earlier this week, Shiba Inu (SHIB) might not be down for the count. With a loyal base still holding strong and some major wallets doing some heavy lifting, SHIB could be headed for a dramatic turn. According to crypto analyst Luckside Crypto, there are three standout factors right now that could push SHIB toward a bold recovery — all the way to $0.0003.
The analyst, in a video posted on Monday, admitted being off about SHIB’s higher low but quickly shifted gears to focus on what he believes are major positives amid all the red across the market.
“Despite the market drops and the big freakout going on throughout the space, Shiba Inu holders are showing remarkable resilience,” he said.
This resilience is not just about sentiment. While SHIB was taking hits along with the rest of the market, the number of SHIB holders quietly climbed to an all-time high. That’s a strong sign that retail investors are refusing to flinch, even as markets tremble. Luckside calls this retail holder stability the first reason SHIB has a shot at reclaiming momentum.
Whales Step In While Others Panic
Not everyone is selling. In fact, quite the opposite is happening behind the scenes. Since early April, large investors — often referred to as whales — have scooped up around 874 billion SHIB tokens. That’s roughly $10.4 million worth at today’s rates.
“Yesterday (Sunday) was a whale accumulation day,” said Luckside Crypto. “Whales have been very heavily buying the dip as of late.”
This second catalyst points to growing institutional confidence. These aren’t impulsive buys — they’re calculated moves made while prices are low. If history repeats, such strategic accumulation often precedes sharp upward moves.
The third piece of the puzzle is tied to shrinking exchange reserves. As of April 13, 2025, SHIB’s exchange supply dropped to about 96.1 trillion tokens, which is the lowest it has ever been. That figure now makes up about 14% of the circulating supply. When fewer coins are sitting on exchanges, it typically means less selling pressure — and when demand rises again, prices tend to move fast and high.
Holding the Line and Eyeing $0.0003
Even on the technical side, SHIB isn’t looking as weak as some might think. The token recently bounced from its long-term support near the $0.000011 mark and is still holding its own against Ethereum. That kind of strength,e specially while Ethereum struggles against Bitcoin, gives SHIB a leg to stand on for when the dust settles.
Luckside Crypto remains optimistic, even with broader market turmoil stemming from global concerns and trade fears after former President Trump’s announcement of fresh tariffs on Chinese goods.
“We deal with a lot of short-term pain before we have longer-term gains,” he said. “When the loud times quiet down, crypto will continue to prevail.”
SHIB’s road to $0.0003 won’t be a straight shot. The next key barrier sits at $0.000015, which lines up with its 50-day moving average. That’s the level SHIB needs to break and hold before any serious talk of a 180% rally. But with strong whale backing, potential ETF approval, tight supply, Shibarium upgrades, and an army of loyal holders, the setup is there.
