Shiba Inu SHIB/USD is gaining bullish momentum as traders eye a potential breakout off the back of Bitcoin hitting a new all-time high.
What Happened: Shiba Inu's burn rate has increased by 209%, with 11.6 million SHIB removed from the ecosystem in the past 24 hours, according to Shibburn data.
On-chain analytics platform Bubblemaps uncovered a whale holding 10% of the SHIB supply, currently valued at $2.5 billion (then worth $10,000) across 150 addresses.
The whale owned 50% of the SHIB supply at the coin’s launch in July 2020.
Crypto chart analyst Ali Martinez sees Shiba Inu forming a bull flag, which could break the $0.000025 resistance.

Why It Matters: Martinez pointed to a massive withdrawal of 1.67 trillion SHIB from exchanges, supported by data from Santiment. Historical trends suggest such movements often precede price spikes, as seen during a previous 62% rally.
Marketing lead Lucie noted 1.6 trillion SHIB being moved off exchanges in single day. The last time this happened SHIB saw a significant price jump.
While daily active addresses (-9.7%) and large transaction volumes (-71.3%) show minor declines, Shibariumscan data shows daily transactions up from 4.49 million to 4.66 million in 24 hours.
Transactions greater than $100,000 are down from 576 to 332 in a single day.
Martinez concludes that a sustained close above $0.000025 could drive a 50% price jump to $0.000037.
