Shiba Inu (SHIB), one of the largest meme-based cryptocurrencies, is experiencing increased pressure, as recent spot-flow data shows that buyers are struggling to maintain momentum. The token is currently priced near $0.00000532 after failing to hold its recent recovery, with substantial net outflows dominating most short-term trading periods.
Shiba Inu spot outflows increase, SHIB trades at $0.00000532 with pressure building
Spot-flow data highlights persistent outflows
During the past several trading intervals, SHIB’s spot market saw consistent net outflows. Over five minutes, SHIB recorded an outflow of $11,460. In the 15-minute and 30-minute periods, the deficits widened to about $29,970 and $89,170, respectively. The pattern persisted with an hourly outflow of $49,130.
For broader timeframes, SHIB continued to register negative flows: the token had a net outflow of $75,850 over four hours, and $50,970 over eight hours. Only the 12-hour period showed a modest net inflow, totaling $25,430.
A negative net inflow occurs when more capital exits a spot market than enters it within a certain period, often reflecting short-term selling pressure or reduced buying interest.
Net spot outflows for SHIB have persisted across nearly every recent timeframe, most notably in the shorter intervals, suggesting that sellers have gained the upper hand over buyers.
Technical hurdles and support levels
Despite recent selling pressure, SHIB has held above some key technical support levels. The most significant resistance remains the long-term moving average at $0.00000572, a level the token struggled to recapture after a recent rally attempt. In contrast, SHIB continues to trade above its shorter moving averages and hovers at $0.00000532.
Immediate support is clustered around $0.00000497 to $0.00000499, with a further moving average providing a cushion at $0.00000468. If buyers fail to defend the $0.0000050 mark, analysts believe that SHIB could revisit lows near $0.0000047.

Momentum indicators and near-term outlook
The volatility follows a sharp rise earlier, when SHIB climbed from around $0.0000044 to reach a high near $0.0000062 before sellers intervened. Although the recent breakout structure has lost strength, it has not been entirely invalidated.
On the momentum front, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) briefly entered overbought territory but is now near 58, indicating neutral positioning. This suggests SHIB has ample room to move in either direction, depending on upcoming market dynamics.
For bullish traders, reclaiming $0.0000055 is the immediate objective, with further upside targets at $0.0000057 to $0.0000058 and the previous high of $0.0000062. On the downside, if spot outflows persist and support at $0.0000050 breaks, the price may consolidate or face additional short-term selling pressure.

Fed’s Hawkish Talons Shine, Bond Market Believes: US Treasury Yield Curve Flattens as Rate Hike Bets Heat Up
The bond market is showing increasing confidence that Federal Reserve Chairman Kevin Walsh will fulfill his commitment to curb inflation—currently, the inflation rate has exceeded policymakers' target level for five consecutive years.

"Hawkish Rate Hike"! Walsh's "Major Shift"
The Federal Reserve unanimously raised interest rates by 25 basis points in September, with Waller fulfilling his hawkish commitments through decisive action and making it clear that current financial conditions are not tight, and this hike only removes "some accommodation," using strong language. UBS believes that Waller's policy response function has undergone a substantial shift compared to his predecessor—he is more sensitive to inflation and supply shocks, less concerned about the labor market, and has set a higher threshold for restrictive policy. The risks are clearly tilted toward interest rates remaining elevated for a longer period.
CITIC Securities: The Fed's September rate hike meets expectations, oil prices become key to follow-up, another rate hike of 25bps possible within the year
The pace and extent of future interest rate hikes by the Federal Reserve largely depend on oil prices. According to CITIC Securities, the Federal Reserve is expected to raise interest rates by another 25bps within this year and may remain on hold next year.

The Federal Reserve "raised interest rates as expected," but the market is concerned about "how many more times will there be after this?"
Analysts believe that Walsh emphasized closely monitoring inflation trends, but with only one month of data before the October meeting, it is insufficient to establish a "trend" for judgment, so action is expected again in December. The dot plot shows that 16 officials anticipate one more rate hike this year, but with the 10-year US Treasury yield surpassing 5%, traders are betting on a tighter path than the official dot plot suggests.
