Shiba Inu holdings of different wallet addresses
Typically, a decline in holdings of large wallet investors is considered bearish for an asset.
Shiba Inu could correct 7%
Shiba Inu broke above its multi-month downward trend on September 12, as seen in the SHIB/USDT daily chart below. The meme coin could sweep liquidity at the lower boundary of the Fair Value Gap (FVG) between $0.00001576 and $0.00001855.
The decline marks a 7.83% loss from the current level of $0.00001710. Further down, SHIB could find support at $0.00001078, the August 5 low, if the decline is extended.
The Moving Average Convergence/Divergence (MACD) indicator flashes red histogram bars under the neutral line, signaling a negative underlying momentum in the SHIB price trend.
SHIB/USDT daily chart
A daily candlestick close above the upper boundary of the FVG at $0.00001855 could invalidate the bearish thesis. In that case, Shiba Inu could target a return to the September 27 high of $0.00002169.
