Abstract

According to data from WhaleStats, the fourth biggest wallet on the Ethereum blockchain, purchased 51.4 billion Shiba Inu tokens, which puts the memecurrency's total USD holdings at $1.19 billion.

According to data from WhaleStats, the fourth biggest wallet on the Ethereum blockchain, purchased 51.4 billion Shiba Inu tokens, which puts the memecurrency's total USD holdings at $1.19 billion.
The ETH whale tagged as "Tsunade" spent $1.1 million on his or her most recent Shiba Inu purchase while already having $2.9 billion worth of various cryptocurrencies on the balance sheet. The largest holdings in the wallet are USDOGE and PAXG cryptocurrency tied to the price of the gold.

SHIB recent performance
While whales have recently made many large purchases of Shiba Inu, the token's performance on the market remains degraded, with no hints of any type of recovery as the token has remained in the downtrend for the last 145 days.
Besides a prolonged downtrend, SHIB entered the descending triangle pattern, which should cause a volatility spike once the asset breaks through one of borders of the formation. Recently, Shiba Inu failed to break the resistance line despite attempting to break through the pattern on March 19.
Previously, another large wallet purchased a record-breaking 3.7 trillion Shiba Inu tokens worth almost $90 million. The purchase has been made by one of the biggest SHIB holders on the Ethereum network.

The Rally That Wasn't

The article analyzes Bitcoin's sharp decline amid a shift in macroeconomic expectations, with strong US job data leading markets to price out Fed rate cuts. Bitcoin fell 13% to around $67,000, triggering significant outflows from US spot ETFs and indicating institutional de-risking. On-chain data confirms a bearish structure. Price has dropped back into the "bear market range," with the Short-Term Holder Cost Basis falling below a key mean level—a pattern last seen in early 2022. The profitability bias has collapsed, with loss realization now dominating, mirroring a panic wave from February. Recent buyers who accumulated near the $82k top are under pressure, and loss realization is accelerating across both short-term and long-term holder cohorts. Off-chain, the rally failed at the aggregate US ETF cost basis near $83k, turning it into resistance. Spot market demand has deteriorated sharply, with sellers dominating order books. While a major long liquidation event cleared over $400M in leverage, spot buyers have not returned to absorb supply. Options markets show sustained demand for downside protection (elevated put premiums) but not panic, with volatility premiums near three-month highs. The conclusion is that the market remains fragile, with overhead supply from trapped ETF investors, weak spot demand, and accelerating losses. Without a return of spot buying and a reclaim of key cost bases, Bitcoin is vulnerable to further downside within the prevailing bear market structure.
