Shiba Inu Futures See 12.9% Drop in Capital Inflows Amid Stop-Loss Sell-Off Wave

▲ Shiba Inu (SHIB)

Warning signals are flashing for further declines as capital inflows into the Shiba Inu (SHIB) futures market have sharply decreased.

According to financial news outlet Insider Muna on Feb. 19 (local time), Shiba Inu’s futures trading activity fell 12.9% over the past 24 hours, heightening market caution. The shift in capital flows suggests that investors are moving away from aggressive buying and adopting a wait-and-see approach. As liquidity supply shrinks, price volatility has narrowed while downward pressure has intensified.

Open interest, a key indicator of futures market health, has also declined, clearly signaling investor exits. A drop in open interest indicates that existing investors are closing their positions and leaving the market. In particular, stop-loss selling among retail investors has accelerated, adding to the downward pressure. Analysts say the fading speculative demand characteristic of meme coins has weakened the market’s fundamentals.

On-chain data analytics platform Santiment reported that both the number of active addresses and large transaction volumes on the Shiba Inu network are declining. The 12.9% sharp shift in capital flows suggests not just a simple correction but a transfer of market control to sellers. With whale activity stagnating and liquidity provision in the futures market disrupted, finding momentum for a rebound appears challenging.

Shiba Inu is currently struggling near the psychological support level of $0.0000062. The slowdown in futures market activity indicates that buying power has been exhausted, creating a critical weakness in defending key support levels. Amid rising Bitcoin (BTC) volatility, concerns are growing that Shiba Inu may see further downside.
