Analyst Predicts Timeline for 11,600% Surge for Shiba Inu Price

Crypto analyst Meme Whale has issued a bold prediction for Shiba Inu, forecasting that SHIB could climb dramatically over the next few months

Shiba Inu is still attempting to recover after recording one of its steepest declines in November. The token opened the month at $0.00001002 but plunged to a low of $0.000007581. Although it has since rebounded to around $0.0000085, SHIB remains down 15.02% over the past month.

Major Shiba Inu Recovery Imminent?

From its current price of $0.000008546, Shiba Inu would need to surge 11,601% to reach the analyst’s first target, while an even steeper rise of 116,913% would be required to hit $0.01, the long-standing “one-cent dream.”

The analyst emphasized that the first price target, $0.001, appears “highly attainable,” adding that SHIB could likely advance to the second target. Such a rally, if realized, would represent one of SHIB’s most significant breakouts since its 2021 run

Besides Shiba Inu, ‘Meme Whale’ also shared his five-month targets for other cryptocurrencies, including XRP and Bitcoin, projecting that these coins could soar to $10 and $200,000, respectively. His projection suggests that SHIB may benefit from broader market momentum

Potential Catalysts

Meanwhile, the five-month timeline aligns with a major privacy upgrade expected for the Shiba Inu ecosystem. As reported earlier, Shiba Inu partner Zama plans to deploy its Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE) on Shibarium in the first half of next year. This upgrade is expected to enhance Shibarium’s privacy and security, while also attracting developers interested in running confidential smart contracts.

In addition, 2026 is widely expected to mark the introduction of the CLARITY Act. Some experts believe the bill could take effect as early as next year, potentially boosting institutional adoption. Together, these developments, especially increased regulatory clarity, signal a possible rally for SHIB and the broader crypto market

Can Shiba Inu Hit $0.001 or $0.01?

Predictions calling for SHIB to reach $0.001 or even $0.01 are not new. These targets first gained traction in the community after Shiba Inu hit its all-time high of $0.00008845 in 2021. Since then, several community figures have continued forecasting a potential climb to the $0.001 and $0.01 marks.

Last year, community analyst LuckSide described $0.001 as a realistic milestone, pointing to rising whale activity as a possible catalyst. Similarly, Shiba Inu’s marketing lead, Lucie, argued that $0.01 remains an achievable long-term goal, though she emphasized that such a move would require time to unfold

However, others argue that Shiba Inu is unlikely to reach even the lower target of $0.001, citing its massive token supply, limited institutional adoption, and the project’s continued reliance on anonymous leadership

Consequently, as Meme Whale advises, investors should approach these predictions with caution. He emphasized that the $0.001–$0.01 forecast reflects only his personal market analysis for SHIB and should not be interpreted as financial advice
