- SHIB futures outflows exceeded inflows as traders reduced leveraged market exposure.
- Resistance levels continued limiting SHIB recovery attempts despite broader crypto market stability.
- Market sentiment improved slightly while traders remained cautious toward meme coin positions.
Shiba Inu traders continued reducing exposure across derivatives exchanges as market caution strengthened around SHIB’s short-term outlook, while CoinGlass data showed futures outflows moved above inflows during the past 24 hours, reflecting weakening confidence among leveraged participants.
Latest data revealed that SHIB futures inflows reached approximately $3.82 million during the reporting period, while outflows climbed to nearly $4.25 million, leaving the meme coin with a negative futures flow balance of around $431,100 and marking a decline exceeding 306%.
Futures outflows often suggest traders are withdrawing margin collateral from exchanges instead of increasing leveraged exposure, while some investors also move assets into self-custody during uncertain conditions to reduce trading risks and preserve capital amid slowing momentum.
Meanwhile, SHIB price action remained under pressure despite broader stability across major cryptocurrencies, as the token traded near $0.00000561 at press time following a 0.4% decline within the last 24 hours while remaining trapped inside a consolidation range formed earlier this month.

SHIB Faces Resistance Pressure as Traders Reassess Market Exposure
Shiba Inu attempted a recovery after falling to a weekend low near $0.00000549, yet buyers failed to maintain momentum because resistance levels continued limiting upward movement, which kept bearish pressure active across short-term trading activity surrounding the token. SHIB previously climbed to $0.00000669 on May 11 before sellers regained control and pushed prices lower, while traders gradually reduced exposure during recent sessions as market participants reassessed risk positioning across several major digital assets.
Besides that, broader market activity suggested investors were rotating capital instead of completely exiting cryptocurrency markets, because a few assets recorded moderate gains while most large-cap tokens continued trading within relatively narrow ranges throughout the same timeframe. If buyers regain momentum, SHIB could attempt a move above the daily 50 moving average near $0.000006, while another resistance level near $0.0000066 may determine whether bullish sentiment strengthens across upcoming trading sessions.
On the downside, support remains positioned near $0.0000052 before another important level around $0.000005, while continued weakness below those zones could increase selling pressure further across the meme coin market.
