SHIB Drops 9.5% Amid Whale Selloff, Recovery Hinted by Lead

According to Lucie, the marketing lead of the SHIB ecosystem, the situation marks not just a simple recovery but a full transformation. In a six-second video, she illustrated this change with a race car making a U-turn and stated, “SHIB is scarred by the past yet unstoppable in the future. Every setback carved the path forward. What comes next is not recovery, it is rebirth.” Her comments imply upcoming changes and potential new utilities or partnerships for the project.

The movement of 138 billion tokens to exchanges signals increased selling pressure which coincides with the token dropping below crucial support levels. Traders’ sentiment turned bearish, with SHIB trading significantly below important moving averages. The token is now under nearly all major short, mid, and long-term moving averages, with 14 moving averages signaling sell conditions and only one neutral.

Technical signals support the ongoing bearish trend. The MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence), a tool used to identify trend changes, recently gave a sell signal, showing a bearish crossover. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) was 45.90 on the weekly chart, indicating the token has corrected but is not yet oversold. An important support level is noted at approximately $0.000006. A drop to this point would mean a 36% decline from current prices.

To counter the downward trend, the team is focusing on enhancing the burn mechanism, which reduces the total circulating supply. This approach could help restore confidence within the community and reduce selling pressure. The overall plan points toward significant changes in the project’s structure and utility as part of the transformation described by Lucie.
