According to Shibariumscan, Shibarium's performance has been impressive as of late, with a new milestone of 300 million transactions added to its belt.

This reflects the high demand for transacting on the Shibarium network, considering the decline in the number of daily active addresses on the network from a high of over 2,800 to about 1,014 at the time of writing.

Robinhood Enters a $SHIB Buying Spree

Siba Inu has entered a slight dip in price along with the rest of the market.

However, Robinhood and several other whales have taken this as an opportunity to buy the memecoin massively.

According to reports, Robinhood has been stacking hundreds of billions of SHIB and other cryptocurrencies over the last week.

However, the exchange's SHIB holdings now amount to about $339 million and is its third largest holding after Bitcoin and Ethereum.

This shows massive interest from Robinhood in the memecoin, as well as a strong investor conviction that its price will go up.

Can Any Of This Save SHIB?

According to the charts, SHIb has been stuck in a massive formation since May 2022, during the height of the bear market's "reds".

The weekly chart above also shows that SHIB was last rejected from a possible break above this formation in mid-December, last year.

This rejection happened somewhere around $0.00001195 and pushed SHIB down into a consolidation around $0.00001.

The cryptocurrency currently trades at $0.000009, and when we zoom into the daily chart, we can see this:

Shiba Inu is currently at a major turning point, on top of a major ascending trendline.

This means that if the trendline holds up, we might see a rebound on SHIB, which takes it into a retest of $0.000012 and causes a possible breakout above the weekly timeframe's ascending trendline we mentioned earlier.
