SHIB volatility hits unprecedented lows while whale activity spikes—raising eyebrows across crypto markets.

The 7 trillion token movement signals either massive accumulation or preparation for a major market play.

Dogecoin maintains its dominance as SHIB's volatility craters, creating the widest stability gap ever recorded between the meme rivals.

Traders watch nervously as large holders reposition—because nothing says 'stable investment' like a token named after a dog breed.

In the past 24 hours, SHIB's dollar-denominated price has gained over 2%. According to CoinDesk analytics, the token achieved a notable technical breakthrough, reaching an intraday peak of $0.000013584 at 22:00 on Sept. 17, underpinned by extraordinary trading volumes of 2.08 trillion tokens.

Notably, critical resistance materialized around the $0.000013584 threshold, where price action reversed amid heightened volume, whilst robust support established itself NEAR $0.000012882, delineating a trading corridor of $0.000007020 or 5%.

Amid this, whale activity intensified, with over 7 trillion tokens moved on-chain on Saturday, including 512 billion SHIB transferred from Kraken to undisclosed addresses.
