This building bullish momentum suggests buyers are stepping in with confidence. However, SHIB has to close above the weekly high to confirm a longer-term uptrend.
Metrics paint a bullish picture for SHIB
AMBCrypto’s analysis of IntoTheBlock data indicates several positive metrics for SHIB bulls. 49% of its holders are “in the money” at the current price, while only 47% are “out of the money.”
This relatively balanced positioning reduces the risk of mass profit-taking that could stall the bullish rally.
To add to the aforementioned, whales control a significant 73% of SHIB. This high concentration could amplify price moves in either direction, depending on whale behavior.

Interestingly, Shiba Inu maintains a strong 0.84 price correlation with Bitcoin. This suggests it could correlate with any broader crypto market rallies steered by BTC.
As of our analysis of IntotheBlock’s growth data, the “In the Money” indicator stands at 2.11% bullish while network growth remains neutral at 0.19%. This bid-ask volume imbalance indicates a strongly bullish 82.02%, indicating aggressive buying pressure.
Investor sentiment and token distribution
We further analyzed IntoTheBlock’s concentration data for SHIB to access the market distribution. SHIB’s holder composition indicates a ‘’wait and see’’ investor base, with 77% of addresses holding for more than 12 months.
This long-term outlook could provide price stability and reduce selling pressure during rallies.
The token distribution between whales and retail investors shows an interesting distribution. While only seven whale addresses control 59.65% of SHIB tokens, there are 44 active investor addresses holding 13.52%.
This mix of large holders and a growing retail base could drive both volatility and sustained interest.
