With a unit of Shiba Inu changing hands at $0.00002714, the 64 trillion SHIB tokens were valued at $1.73 billion at press time.

SHIB Price Plunge as Short-Term Traders Sell  

The short-term investors referred to in the tweet include addresses that have held Shiba Inu for less than a month.

According to IntoTheBlock, these addresses have skyrocketed by 278% in the past 30 days. The tremendous spike in addresses within this category reflects a growing interest among short-term traders in making quick gains through Shiba Inu.

Recall that Shiba Inu’s price spiked tremendously earlier this month. Notably, SHIB’s price surged to around $0.000045 on March 5, prompting many short-term investors to sell their tokens for a profit.

The massive sell-off caused SHIB’s price to plummet to $0.00002400, representing a decline of 46.67% from its peak price on March 5.

Long-Term Holders Reduce Exposure to Shiba Inu

While short-term investors boosted their SHIB holdings by 278% within a month, the same cannot be said for long-term holders. These investors involve addresses holding Shiba Inu tokens for over a year.

Per Slim Daddy, these long-term investors reduced their Shiba Inu holdings by 9.07% over the past 30 days. The move suggests that some long-term investors took profit when the price of Shiba Inu spiked to around $0.000045.

Team Sees SHIB Reaching New ATH Before Bitcoin Halving

At the time of writing, SHIB was changing hands at $0.00002717, up 187% over the past month. However, the canine-themed token has witnessed a price decline of 22.8% in two weeks and 7% in the past seven days.

Although SHIB has lost most of its recent gains, Shiba Inu’s marketing lead, Lucie, expects the token to surpass its all-time high (ATH) before the next Bitcoin Halving, which is slated to occur by April 20, 2024.

Recall that Shiba Inu’s ATH of $0.00008845 was set on October 28, 2021. For Lucie’s expectation to come true, Shiba Inu must rally at least 225% from its current price within the next 28 days.
