Tides reversed back into the favor of bulls on Wednesday. Per data from CoinMarketCap, the collective value of all cryptos surged by more than 5% over the past day to $823.5 billion. Most top cryptos reaped the benefit of Bitcoin staying afloat above $16.5k and Ethereum re-claiming $1.1k.

Shiba Inu was one such token. The $4.9 billion market-capped asset noted an 8.5% appreciation over the past 24 hours and was seen exchanging hands at $0.000009027 at press time.

Despite the recent recovery noted, Shiba Inu whale balance has been on the drop. In the period between 11-13 November, the top 100, 2000, and 5000 whales held a balance of 79.89 million SHIB, 80.326 million SHIB, and 80.177 million SHIB. However, the latest numbers from WhaleStats revealed that their HODLings were already down to 71.3 million SHIB, 70.39 million SHIB, and 73.24 million SHIB respectively.

Thus, for Shiba Inu to continue gliding up the charts, whale interest and the overall sentiment will have to re-bloom. Only when that said boxes get checked, and SHIB continues to receive support from other macro factors, would its price be able to head towards $0.00001 and erase another zero.
