Shiba Inu Futures Flow Crashes 67x as SHIB Price Faces Further Downside Risk

In Brief:

• Shiba Inu futures flows plunged 6,700.36%, recording negative net flows of $207,230 as derivatives activity weakened amid market volatility.
• SHIB dropped toward $0.00000446 during a broader crypto selloff, while the Altcoin Season Index declined to 44 out of 100.
• Shiba Inu faces resistance near $0.00000586 and support at $0.0000041 as prolonged weekly losses threaten further price recovery efforts.

Shiba Inu futures activity has weakened, with net flows plunging 6,700.36% over three days amid renewed selling pressure and broader altcoin losses. According to CoinGlass data, SHIB futures recorded $10.39 million in inflows against $10.60 million in outflows, resulting in negative net flows of $207,230.

Shiba Inu Futures Outflows Exceed Inflows as Traders Reduce Exposure

The reported percentage decline reflects a roughly 67-fold deterioration in net futures flows from the earlier reading. Still, negative flows alone cannot establish whether individual traders closed positions or adopted bearish strategies.

SHIB traded near $0.000004844 between Tuesday and Wednesday before Thursday’s broader cryptocurrency selloff pushed prices lower. The token subsequently dropped 5% to $0.00000446 as marketwide derivatives liquidations exceeded $1 billion.

A modest rebound followed, but Saturday’s trading brought another decline toward $0.00000455. These fluctuations came amid weaker sentiment across alternative cryptocurrencies, not an isolated move in Shiba Inu.

CoinMarketCap’s Altcoin Season Index registered 44 out of 100, its lowest reading since September. That figure reflected Bitcoin’s stronger relative performance against many altcoins.

SHIB Price Approaches Critical Support After Extended Weekly Losses

Shiba Inu’s latest derivatives figures emerged during a prolonged price decline that began in early October. SHIB faced a potential sixth consecutive weekly loss, following another negative monthly performance in September.

In the weekly analysis, the 50-week moving average near $0.00000586 represents a significant resistance level. Regaining that level would require a recovery from the token’s recent trading range.

Meanwhile, technical support sits around $0.0000041, below the lows recorded during the latest selloff. A move toward that level would extend the pressure affecting SHIB holders. Consequently, spot purchases and selling volumes remain important when evaluating the token’s price direction.

Shiba Inu remains between its identified support and resistance levels as derivatives flows turn negative. Subsequent trading will determine whether buyers can stabilize prices despite broader market weakness.
