Analyst Makes a Bold Shiba Inu (SHIB) Price Prediction

Shiba Inu is back in the conversation this week after crypto analyst MemeWhale shared a new price prediction that has a lot of people talking.

His call comes at a moment when the SHIB price is still trying to recover from a sharp drop in November, which makes the timing, and the size of the prediction even more surprising.

Earlier this month, SHIB started trading at approximately $0.00001002 before plummeting to a low of $0.000007581, which was among its steepest falls recently.

The SHIB price bounced slightly since then but now trades close to $0.0000085; however, it’s still more than 15% lower over the last month. Despite the weakness, MemeWhale believes SHIB could be gearing up for a massive reversal.

SHIB Price Forecast: A Run Toward $0.001 to $0.01

According to MemeWhale, the SHIB price could climb to somewhere between $0.001 and $0.01 over the next five months, stretching into April 2026. If that sounds big, that’s because it is.

From today’s levels, SHIB would need to rally more than 11,000% just to reach the lower target and an incredible 116,000% to hit the one-cent mark.

He described the first target as “highly attainable” and even indicated the second target isn’t out of reach if the right market conditions line up. If any of this actually happens, it would rival Shiba Inu’s 2021 run that turned the token into a household name almost overnight.

Meme Whale didn’t stop at SHIB, either. His prediction was that XRP could touch $10 and Bitcoin could touch $200,000 within the same period of five months. The concept is pretty straightforward: if the overall market goes ablaze, SHIB can just ride the momentum.

Why Some Traders Are Getting Excited

Part of the optimism stems from what’s happening behind the scenes in the Shiba Inu ecosystem. One major development: There’s been a major improvement for Shibarium when it comes to privacy.

The project named Zama, which has a partnership with Shiba Inu, plans to introduce Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE) on Shibarium in the first half of next year. This could increase safety and appeal among developers of private applications on the network.

There’s also increasing focus on the CLARITY Act, which is expected to emerge with regulations by 2026.

But Not Everyone Is Convinced About SHIB’s Outlook

The SHIB price target of $0.001 or rather $0.01 has been around before. These figures have been circulating in the SHIB community ever since SHIB reached its record high of $0.00008845 in 2021.

Some community leaders, like LuckSide and Marketing lead at Shiba Inu Lucie, had indicated that such levels can easily be reached in the long run.

However, others remain skeptical. They point to SHIB’s enormous supply, relatively low institutional participation, and the project’s reliance on anonymous leadership as major obstacles to reaching those levels anytime soon.

Even MemeWhale admits his prediction should be taken with caution. He reminded followers that the $0.001–$0.01 forecast represents only his personal view, not financial advice.
