Shiba Inu’s Chaikin Money Flow Flips Bullish: Smart Money Pounces During Price Slump

Buyers are swarming SHIB as technical indicators signal a major shift in momentum.

The Chaikin Money Flow—a key volume-weighted metric—just flashed its strongest buy signal in weeks. While retail investors panic-sold during the recent dip, institutional money quietly accumulated positions.

Volume patterns reveal sophisticated players backing up the truck at these levels. The CMF surge suggests capital flow is decisively bullish despite surface-level price weakness.

Traders who understand volume divergence strategies are positioning for the next leg up. This isn't amateur hour—it's the smart money making its move while Wall Street still tries to figure out what a 'memecoin' actually is.

In fact, since Aug. 19, the indicator has been steadily climbing while prices continued to fall, forming a bullish divergence.  Such divergence often means that sellers are losing momentum and that downward movement may not hold for long. Right now, the CMF sits at 0.07 while SHIB trades at $0.00001236. The last time the CMF stood at this level, the meme coin traded higher at $0.00001406. This gap suggests SHIB is undervalued at its current price, given the strength of the ongoing money inflow. SHIB Ichimoku Cloud and DMI Suggest Downtrend is Waning Meanwhile, as SHIB trades for $0.00001238, the daily Ichimoku Cloud chart shows the bearish momentum remains active with Shiba Inu currently residing just below the cloud.  Further, the cloud ahead appears thin and flat, which shows that the market lacks strong direction and that both support and resistance remain weak. The Chikou span remains under both the price action and the cloud, another bearish sign. To flip the momentum, SHIB must climb back above the cloud resistance at $0.000013. Interestingly, the Directional Movement Index (DMI) suggests the downtrend might be waning. The negative directional index (-DI) holds at 24.3, still above +DI, which shows that sellers maintain control, but it appears to have been trending downward. 

Shiba Inu Ichimoku Cloud and DMIShiba Inu Ichimoku Cloud and DMI The Average Directional Index (ADX) reads 17.1, far below the 20 level that marks strong momentum. This weak ADX suggests that while sellers remain in charge, the bearish trend itself lacks power, leaving SHIB in more of a range than a sharp downtrend. Amid these metrics, some analysts see potential for a strong reversal. Market watcher Javon Marks recently pointed to Shiba Inu's ongoing inverse head-and-shoulders pattern, noting that the meme coin is still forming its final shoulder.
