Compounding those concerns, the timing of the $300 million transaction aligns with ongoing scrutiny of Trump’s affiliation with recently launched USD1 stablecoin, leading to suspension of the GENIUS act. Consequently, heightened fears of impending regulatory action, and congressional scrutiny, fueled risk-off sentiment for SHIB and other memecoin holders.

Santiment’s Age Consumed metric, an indicator that multiplies the number of tokens moved by the time since they last moved, further emphasizes this narrative. Shiba Inu saw its Age Consumed remain flat at 91.4 trillion tokens as of Thursday.

This rare dynamic, especially following a sector-wide bearish event, is considered bullish for two main reasons. First, it signals the 3.6% Shiba Inu price correction on Wednesday was largely driven by short-term traders, but has not sparked panic among long-term investors, playing down the negative impact of the cautious sentiment around top ranked memecoins on Wednesday amid growing political scrutiny. Second, such muted Age Consumed behavior after a steep correction suggests SHIB is more likely to consolidate and rebound, rather than capitulate. This lack of significant token movement from dormant SHIB wallets implies that the conviction among holders remains firm. If SHIB maintains the $0.000015 support and market sentiment stabilizes, an instant rebound toward $0.000018 could be on the cards.
