There are differing opinions on the future trend of Shiba Inu. Some analysts are bullish, predicting it could reach $0.000032 with a potential increase of over 246%; however, other forecasts indicate a mid-term rise of only 15.64% to $0.00001006. Whale concentration in holdings suggests that large funds are optimistic about its long-term prospects, but the short-term trend remains uncertain.

【Crypto World】Regarding the future trend of Shiba Inu, market opinions vary. Some analysts, based on chart patterns, believe that SHIB has considerable upside potential—if it breaks through key resistance levels, the price could surge to $0.000032, an increase of over 246%.

What’s more attention-grabbing is the movement of whales. According to on-chain data, the top ten largest wallets control nearly 63% of the total SHIB supply, with the leading wallets holding especially large amounts—one single largest wallet has accumulated about 41%, with a market value of approximately $3.3 billion. This highly concentrated holding structure often signals long-term confidence from institutions or large investors.

However, more conservative forecasts are also circulating. Some institutions estimate that by mid-February 2026, SHIB could rise by 15.64%, with a target price of $0.00001006. The divergence between these two predictions reflects different market judgments on small-cap tokens—there is short-term uncertainty, but the whale accumulation behavior in the medium to long term may be worth watching.

ngl the whale concentration here is giving major "opportunity cost" vibes... 63% in top 10 wallets? that's literally begging for a depeg scenario or coordinated exit. the 246% thesis feels like cope tbh, everyone's always chasing that one breakout that never comes.

Whales are hoarding so much SHIB, what does that mean? Either they are optimistic or they are waiting for bagholders, haha. A 246% increase sounds great, but breaking through resistance levels... we're all tired of hearing about that. 63% of the supply is in large holders' hands, now that's interesting. Do retail investors still have a chance? 15.64% versus 246%, the analysts seem to be talking about two different coins. The SHIB story has been told for so long, does anyone still believe it? Whale activity is frequent, they might be trying to pump the price. Be careful not to buy at the top and get caught. A market cap of 3.3 billion in one wallet is extremely risky. I'm optimistic, but I still prefer to wait for a pullback. Don't chase the high.

Whale accumulated 63%? Isn't that telling retail investors to buy the dip? Haha A 246% increase sounds impressive, but the question is whether it can break through that resistance level... 41% in one wallet, that requires a lot of trust. I just can't understand it. The gap between 15.64% and 246%... Are these two analysts on the same planet? Shiba Inu is still that Shiba Inu, it all depends on how the big players play. Is this wave of SHIB being supported by institutions or is it really about to take off? Let's wait and see.

Whales hoarding 41%? How optimistic does that look... But can retail investors really make money by following? --- 246%? Haha, these numbers from analysts are probably made up, I don't believe it. --- 63% held by the big players, what chance do we have? This market is too shady. --- Wait, does this mean whales are about to pump the price? Should I try to buy the dip? --- Small coins are just like that, relying on luck. I think I'll stop playing. --- From 41% to 246%, it's almost like talking in a dream... Better to be cautious. --- Institutional optimism? Then how about I do the opposite, haha. --- Only a 15% increase in 26 years? I'd rather buy Bitcoin for more stability. --- Damn, these numbers are scary. Are whales going to eat us up? --- Such a huge prediction gap, anyone who believes it is just foolish.
