Shiba Inu Team Issues Warning of $20 Million Liquidation Wave Amid Sharp Price Drop
Current overview (not historical)
The Shiba Inu team cautioned traders that a $20 million liquidation wave could hit within the next 24 hours, noting that long positions had absorbed $12.9 million of the total. SHIB futures trading volume surged to $49.3 million, far outpacing the $10.8 million in spot volume, while net inflows to exchanges reached 9.207 billion SHIB tokens. Despite these activity levels, the SHIB price had already fallen by roughly 50 % during the period. The warning underscores the heightened risk of forced liquidations in a market where futures activity is disproportionately high relative to spot, and highlights the potential for rapid price swings as traders adjust positions.

Report first recorded Oct 30, 17:21
The Shiba Inu team cautioned traders after a $20 million liquidation wave swept through SHIB in a 24‑hour period, with longs absorbing $12.9 million of the total. Futures volume during the same window reached $49.3 million, roughly 4.5 times the $10.8 million spot turnover, indicating that derivative activity was driving the price swings. The team also noted a net inflow of about 92 billion SHIB tokens to exchanges—more than the 324 billion inflows but less than the 232 billion outflows—suggesting that holders are positioning for potential sales. Despite the heavy long exposure, shorts lost only about $7 million, but the overall long tilt could trigger further liquidations if the price dips again. The post echoes earlier community calls for more bullish sentiment and token burns, highlighting the fragile demand and the role of leveraged futures in amplifying price volatility.
