Shiba Inu (SHIB) whales have stepped up their sales as the cryptocurrency’s price recovery looks to gather steam alongside an uptick in futures market activity. The path of least resistance still appears to be on the higher side.
Bullish RSI
Prices have gained over 5% in one week alongside bullish signals from key indicators such as the 14-day relative strength index. The momentum oscillator has crossed into the bullish territory above 50 for the first time since May 23.
Open Interest Rises as Whales Sell
Meanwhile, open interest in perpetual futures listed on Binance has surged past the 7 million SHIB mark for the first time since May 23, according to data source Velo. The upswing, accompanied by positive funding rates, suggests an increased investor interest in betting on continue price gains.
The ascent, however, could be challenged by whale and insiders moving trillions of coins to exchanges, with ten wallets controlling over half of the total token supply.
