After several months of underperforming, the self-proclaimed Dogecoin killer finally posted a decisive rebound over the weekend. However, the pump was short-lived as the bears quickly intercepted the move and dragged the price down.<\/p>\n

The enthusiasm faded, while a well-known analytics platform outlined when the next buying opportunity might emerge.<\/p>\n

Retail Attention Arrived Late<\/h2>\n

Just a few days ago, Shiba Inu recorded<\/a> a sudden 35% price jump to reach a two-month high of around $0.00000582 (per CoinGecko). Some potential factors that may have acted as catalysts for the significant revival include a whale that has resumed accumulating after more than half a year of inactivity, as well as the notable resurgence of the burning mechanism.<\/p>\n

The bulls, though, lost momentum, and SHIB currently trades at roughly $0.000004631, representing a nearly 20% decline from the local high. The analytics platform Santiment noted<\/a> that amid the rally, there were 52 whale transactions in a single day, the most since March 31.<\/p>\n

\u201cActivity strongly suggests larger holders took profits into strength,\u201d it added.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

On the other hand, retail investors joined the party too late and chased the excitement near the top, \u201cgiving whales the liquidity needed to reduce their exposure.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to the entity, the smart approach with meme coins is to cash out when retail FOMO spikes, and re-enter once the crowd turns hostile and calls the token a scam.<\/p>\n

It seems like X user Crypto King had followed these rules. On July 26, the trader noted<\/a> the double-digit price increase, the whales\u2019 accumulation, the exploding burn rate, and rising volume to open a short position.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese euphoric pumps have a habit of trapping late buyers\u2026 but the market loves proving people wrong,\u201d they said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

What Comes Next?<\/h2>\n

As mentioned above, SHIB lost its traction, while the broader cryptocurrency market flashed<\/a> in red again, which could lead to a further downfall for the meme coin in the near term.<\/p>\n

The rising amount of tokens stored on exchanges serves as another warning. CryptoQuant\u2019s data shows that the figure has been constantly rising over the past several days, reaching a two-week high of around 86.7 trillion units. Such a development suggests that many investors have abandoned self-custody and flocked to centralized platforms, thus increasing immediate selling pressure.<\/p>\n

The stalled activity on Shibarium is also worth mentioning. The layer-2 scaling solution, designed to foster the advancement of Shiba Inu\u2019s ecosystem, was once considered among the primary catalysts that could trigger a price increase for the meme coin. However, after an exploit<\/a> in September last year, the protocol saw a sharp decline in usage, dropping to merely hundreds or thousands of daily transactions.<\/p>\n
