On top of that, the crypto data analytics firm pointed out the TOP 10 gainers of all time, only to reveal that both largest whales made bank on SHIB, even though the top crypto trader sold the canine memecoin just four months before it hit its all-time high (ATH).

SHIB Floats Above Key Resistance Line
SHIB reclaimed the crucial resistance level of $0.00001 around midnight of January 14th, 2023. The memecoin had reached this level for the first time since early November of 2022 when dog-themed cryptocurrencies took over the altcoin rally due to Elon Musk’s Twitter Purge.
At press time, the #15th ranked memecoin trades at $0.00001121, according to CoinGecko. Despite dropping by 7.1% in the last 24 hours, SHIB still floats above the resistance line, forming a 3:2 bullish versus bearish signal ratio for the ERC-20 token.
Shiba Inu has been registering a constant growth in total wallet numbers even during the prolonged crypto winter of 2022, implying that the canine coin is often seen as a long-term investment. To illustrate, there has been an upward trend since the beginning of 2023, as the total wallet count spiked from 1,275,057 to 1,284,449 in the first three weeks, according to CoinMarketCap.
