After an earlier drop, Shiba Inu open interest saw a surprising reversal, flipping back into the green.
Shiba Inu’s open interest, an indicator of liquidity on the markets, increased 0.45% in the last 24 hours to $87.19 million, according to CoinGlass data.
While the increase might seem small, it remains significant given a prior drop as Shiba Inu price fell with traders reducing exposure.
The slight increase in open interest comes despite Shiba Inu’s price drop. At press time, SHIB was down 0.51% in the last 24 hours to $0.00000786 and down 6.06% weekly.
SHIB price action
The crypto market is largely trading in the red, as gains in equities and a weaker U.S. dollar failed to translate into a sustained rise for crypto after a volatile week.
The Shiba Inu price was likewise down, falling 8.15% weekly. Most major cryptocurrencies remain down between 7% and 12% over the past week, indicating that sentiment on the crypto market remains fragile.
As Shiba Inu open interest rebounds, the current setup hints at a reset as leverage gets flushed out of the market. This reset is, however, a quiet one, as volumes drop across spot and derivatives markets.
According to CoinMarketCap data, Shiba Inu trading volume across spot exchanges is down 27.87% in the last 24 hours to $82.26 million.
Traders seem to be taking a pause to decide the market’s next move and adjust accordingly. Shiba Inu faces immediate resistance at $0.000008, which coincides with the daily MA 50. Since Jan. 14, attempts by Shiba Inu to reclaim this level have not succeeded.
If $0.000008 is conquered, Shiba Inu will aim at $0.000009 and $0.00001 next, while support is expected in the $0.000007 range if the price drops further. Another possibility is sideways trading below the daily MA 50 before the next upward move.

SHIB Faces Rising Sell Pressure After 400B Token Inflows
Shiba Inu faces selling pressure as exchange reserves climb to ~81.5T SHIB and net inflows exceed 400B SHIB, with price trapped under resistance amid low volatility and muted market participation.
Abstract: This analysis notes SHIB's current market dynamics, highlighting exchange reserves near 81.5 trillion SHIB and net inflows over 400 billion SHIB, signaling rising distribution as holders prepare to sell. Prices remain below key resistance with low volatility and subdued volume, pointing to weak short-term momentum. The combination of larger inflows and outflows indicates strategic repositioning rather than accumulation, while broader market constraints limit upside. Overall, the outlook remains cautious with downside risk in the near term.
