  • SHIB’s last year’s performance did not lead to massive dumps by institutional investors and whales.
  • The token had the potential to remain significant in the long term based on the technical outlook.

An action of this magnitude usually implies a bid to sell. Hence, it was possible that these SHIB tokens had left the Voyager exchange wallet or would do so soon. Nonetheless, information from Etherscan showed that the firm still held about 6.8 trillion SHIB. This may as well confirm that Voyager was a long-term believer in the token.

Despite the likely sell offs, SHIB did not succumb to the demand of selling pressure. However, it is noteworthy to point out that the token was initially dumped after the FOMC raised interest rates by 0.25.

However, like the other cryptocurrencies, the downside impact of the announcement only lasted a short while. According to CoinGecko, SHIB exchanged hands at $0.000012 — a 4% increase in the last 24 hours. So, could SHIB still be a profitable long-term asset?

Based on the daily chart, the meme had the potential to price higher than it currently is. This was due to indications from the Exponential Moving Average (EMA). At the time of writing, the 200-day EMA (yellow) positioned above the 50-day EMA (blue). A simplification of this could lead to an expensive bullish stance in the future.
