The whales' favorite prey is the Shiba Inu once more. Shiba Inu's attempts to expand the metaverse might have inspired this interest. Shiba Inu hasn't had much success in the NFT and DeFi markets.

Let’s look at the recent events in the SHIB ecosystem along with technical analysis to understand the path of the asset in the coming days.

What Role Can  Whales Play?

The top 100 ETH whales are holding SHIB worth $129 million, according to a recent tweet from WhaleStats. The SHIB team's growing efforts to create an ecosystem of DeFi, NFTs, and a metaverse around their token may be one of the factors influencing their interest.

Shiba Inu's DeFi protocol, SHIBASWAP, has had a sharp reduction in growth, and its Total Value Locked (TVL) has decreased noticeably since May. In the last four months, the count has increased from 121.74 million to $27.9 million. Even though a minor improvement was noted in September, the TVL has still moved in the wrong direction. Potential investors might be alarmed by SHIB's lack of development in the DeFi industry.

The NFT volume of Shiba Inu has likewise significantly decreased during the past three months. The NFT volume peaked in July and has been declining since then. The excitement around the Shiboshis NFT and community seems to have gone down, and it will need some work on the part of the Shiba Inu team to rekindle the expansion of their NFT. 

What are Social Sentiments about this Asset?

However, Shiba Inu's social dominance index decreased during the previous week. The coin has received negative weighted sentiment as well. Clearly, the cryptocurrency community hasn't been kind toward the token.

Although whale interest is a good sign for the coin, it shouldn't be the only thing taken into account before making a trade. The dominance of Shiba Inu in terms of volume and market cap has also decreased. These are the elements that must unquestionably be considered when choosing.

As shown in the above 1H chart of SHIB, the asset is in a constant decline. The whales' interest in the asset can help the price to revive but the asset needs to exit this descending parallel channel. The bottom of SHIB is also unclear because of fear in the crypto ecosystem. The macroeconomic situation is not looking good, so investors need to move cautiously.
