- Shiba Inu developer has called on his community members to learn to govern and combat internal division to gain momentum again.
- Whale investors have been buying SHIB at lower prices, which could be considered a sign of interest after the decline in its price.
Shiba Inu developer Kaal Dhairya has emphasized that community unity is the project’s top priority as SHIB continues to face downward market pressure. In a post shared on X, Dhairya referred to what he termed as external pressure and internal segmentation as some of the setbacks to the growth of Shiba Inu. He called on SHIB to move towards full community control by the SHIB DAO.
Woof, your concerns are valid, and you are certainly entitled to step away if that’s your choice—but it’s important to acknowledge the support you have received. Personally, I recommended your project to the magazine, which provided coverage to ensure your exceptional work gained… https://t.co/wZ4Fko7sYy

Dhairya believes that Shiba Inu will depend on the ability to approach equal participation in the community’s decision-making process in the future. He introduced a transparent system of governance that minimizes favoritism and creates accountability. He explained that the SHIB DAO, with its democratic directions, should control project developments and provide funding only to valuable projects.
These remarks come after a drop in market rankings saw SHIB dethroned as the 10th largest cryptocurrency, falling to 22nd in overall market cap. SHIB decreased by 2.09% at the beginning of August, and the weekly decline was 13.23%, according to TradingView.
The token bounced marginally above $0.000012 but was still 74% below its March 2024 record and above 85% below its October 2021 all-time high.
Accumulation Zone Gains Attention
The recent decline of SHIB has taken the token to a possible accumulation range of $0.000012, where the buying interest and ensuing recoveries were signaled earlier. According to history, similar price pullbacks during the previous twelve months resulted in accumulation periods followed by an increase in the commodity’s price. The recent decline occurred following a peak of $0.00001598 on July 21 before declining to a bottom of $0.0000116 on August 2.
On-chain activity suggests that the whales are back to buy. On Binance, large whale investors purchased 1.74 million SHIB within the last 48 hours. Coinbase also reported transactions of $235 000 in SHIB bought by whale accounts. Also, over $2.9 million in SHIB perpetuals were amassed over the same period.
These inflows are part of an investment policy of dollar-cost averaging instead of a policy of speculation. Although the purchases remain modest, they indicate an increase in attention to the discounted price levels of SHIB. The spot and derivatives activity is more tame than the sharp outflows in late 2024, indicating controlled behavior of investors and a lack of panic selling.
Analyst Predicts 500% Rally
Crypto analyst Javon Marks has made another bullish call on Shiba Inu cryptocurrency, predicting a possible price surge to $0.000081. In mid-July, Marks noted a breakout of a multi-year downwards resistance trendline, which he states has positioned the stock to enter a major upswing.
$SHIB (Shiba Inu)'s breakout TARGET AT $0.000081 is being MAINTAINED.
We project a more than 500% upside to reach it in response to the pictured resisting trend break! https://t.co/tTEkAiGbPu pic.twitter.com/x6PvBCBSoS

Marks has pointed out that SHIB is currently above its long-term trend but sitting below sizeable resistance points. He believes a breakout might follow this consolidation period, as the upward momentum gathers pace, as the token is stabilized in its breakout range.
The price target is more than a 500% upside from today’s number. Even though such a move remains speculative, the trendline breakout and past bounce patterns offer a technical basis to be optimistic.
