Shiba Inu Sees Record Low Realized Volatility Following Massive 7T Whale Move Against Dogecoin

The SHIB-DOGE pair has fallen to its lowest level since November 2021, extending a downtrend that began following March 2024 highs.

Shiba Inu (SHIB) has seen a sharp decline in volatility in its dollar-denominated price, continuing to lose ground against peer token Dogecoin (DOGE), currently trading at $0.2655.

According to TradingView, SHIB’s 90-day realized volatility has fallen to an annualized 64%, the lowest since December 2023. Realized volatility tracks how much an asset’s price has fluctuated over a specific period, offering insight into historical price swings.

Since May, SHIB has been trading within a narrowing range, defined by converging trendlines connecting lower highs and higher lows. Market analysts suggest that the eventual breakout from this range could set the tone for the next significant move.

In the past 24 hours, SHIB has rebounded by more than 2% in USD terms. CoinDesk analytics reported that the token achieved an intraday high of $0.000013584 at 22:00 on 17 September, supported by exceptionally high trading volumes of 2.08 trillion tokens.

Critical resistance formed at the $0.000013584 level, where price action reversed amid heightened volume, while strong support was established near $0.000012882, creating a trading corridor of $0.000007020—or roughly 5%—in range.

Whale activity also surged, with over 7 trillion tokens moved on-chain on Saturday alone, including 512 billion SHIB transferred from Kraken to undisclosed addresses.

Key Technical Highlights:

  • Price Range: SHIB traded between $0.000012882 support and $0.000013584 resistance, defining a $0.000007020 corridor with 5% volatility.
