Mystery whale deposits 100 billion SHIB on Coinbase, market watches for potential sell-off ahead of FOMC.

In a surprising move, a mysterious Shiba Inu whale deposited 100 billion SHIB tokens into Coinbase, coinciding with a significant price drop just before the Federal Reserve's crucial rate decision. This action has stirred market speculation about the whale's strategy and potential impact on SHIB's price.

Mysterious Whale Deposits Massive SHIB Cache on Coinbase Ahead of Critical FOMC Meeting

In a recent report by U.Today, analytics data from Arkham Intelligence has revealed an unusual development: a mysterious whale has surfaced, placing an incredible 100 billion Shiba Inu tokens into the hot wallet of Coinbase, the largest cryptocurrency exchange in the United States.

According to on-chain data, the enigmatic entity known as "0x6d2" just significantly withdrew $2.26 million in SHIB to a Coinbase-affiliated address.

Furthermore, this address had been actively gathering Shiba Inu tokens from the exchange for the preceding week, amassing a whopping 105.57 billion SHIB before transferring it back into Coinbase.

The timing of these maneuvers is particularly interesting, as they coincided with a more than 20% drop in the price of SHIB, which drove the price down to $0.00002057 per coin.

To add to the excitement, this big SHIB deposit occurred soon before the highly anticipated Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting. As market participants eagerly await the committee's judgment on the United States. Given the Federal Reserve rate, the whale's decision to deposit tokens on the exchange is interpreted as a potential sell signal.

Traditionally, investors liquidate their assets before significant economic catastrophes to reduce prospective losses. Despite widespread predictions of a rate decrease by the Federal Reserve, the market mood remains negative, forcing many to seek safety in cash. This has resulted in a slump across many asset classes, including cryptocurrency.

As the FOMC meeting approaches, all eyes are on the outcome, hoping to learn more about the identity and motivations of this mystery Shiba Inu whale.

Analyst Predicts Bullish Reversal for Shiba Inu Amid Market Turbulence and Rising Transaction Costs

Early this year's report, Shiba Inu (SHIB) is on the verge of a sell-off, with some of its most visible measures pointing to this. A top market analyst, Ali Martinez, has predicted an exciting path for the meme coin. According to his recent explanation, SHIB may be preparing for a positive reversal.

According to Ali Martinez, Shiba Inu demonstrates a bull flag trend on the daily charts. A bull flag formation is a continuation pattern between two significant price surges followed by a brief consolidation period.

Shiba Inu broke through its bearish impasse earlier this year, with a price as high as $0.000036 in March. However, the Shiba Inu trend has weakened due to broader market concerns. The spot Bitcoin ETF's loss of inflow traction has impacted altcoins such as Shiba Inu.

Martinez's bull flag formation suggested a more heightened sentiment. He stated that he intends to put a purchase order on the token around $0.000018343, hoping for a bullish breakout that will propel $SHIB to $0.000072323.

Shiba Inu is trading at $0.00002108, down 8.71% in 24 hours and more than 22% in the last week. However, it has remained elevated year to date (YTD), increasing by 11%. The present adverse market trend has contributed to the project's attention turning away from the top ten rankings and toward survival. Despite the 500% increase in Shiba Inu transaction costs, the outlook for SHIB has remained unchanged, with investors opting for more safe bets overall.

With Shibarium serving as a significant utility and demand anchor, Shiba Inu community members remain optimistic about the possibility of an imminent resurgence. Martinez's charts can also improve sentiment, causing prices to rise overall.
