Shiba Inu (SHIB) opened the week on a silent note, trading around $0.000021 for most of the day and threatening to extend its months-long consolidation into the new week. Notably, since tapping a high of $0.000045 in March 2024, the second-largest meme coin has remained in a sideways trend, down 8.9% in the past 30 days, even as other cryptocurrencies, such as XRP, soared. Despite this apparent stagnation, optimism surrounding Shiba Inu’s future continues to build among market analysts. A popular crypto analyst, Alan Santana recently shared his bullish outlook on SHIB , suggesting a potential 600% surge. In his analysis, Santana emphasized a medium-risk leveraged trade setup, with SHIB’s entry levels at $0.00002000 and ambitious targets ranging up to $0.0001396 and beyond, highlighting a potential 632% profit opportunity. “Shiba Inu’s chart and bullish bias remains intact. We had six days of bearish action that changed nothing for the bigger picture, the smaller picture and SHIBs long-term trajectory; we are going up.” He stated. Santana further noted that SHIB is poised to follow the bullish trends of assets like XRP and ADA, which have broken out in recent weeks. “ A bullish wave in late 2024 leading to a correction has ended, and we now see a bullish continuation,” Santana added , signaling renewed investor enthusiasm for SHIB. Similarly, analyst “Cryptoe Elites”, forecasted a 10x rally for SHIB, setting a target of $0.00023. Sharing insights with his 247,000 followers on X, he pointed to a potential breakout from a bullish triangle pattern visible on SHIB’s weekly chart. While these bullish predictions gain traction, SHIB has faced notable competition in the meme token space. Over the weekend, the recently launched TRUMP meme token briefly overtook SHIB in circulating market value, securing the spot as the second-largest meme token on the blockchain. Earlier on Sunday, on-chain data revealed TRUMP’s market value exceeding $14.8 billion, surpassing SHIB ’s $12.6 billion. Despite this rivalry, the Shiba Inu community remains optimistic, bolstered by several promising developments. One significant factor fueling optimism is the recent launch of the TREAT token. Announced as the utility and governance token of Shibarium, TREAT aims to unlock advanced features within the network state operating system. On Monday, SHIB’s lead developer, Shytoshi Kusama, urged the community to remain patient and focused on ecosystem tokens like TREAT amid distractions like the TRUMP token. Are you ready for memes with REAL utility yet? No? Okay, let’s give it a few more days, then WE will show you how it’s done .” Kusama tweeted reinforcing Shiba Inu’s commitment to delivering real value. Adding to the bullish sentiment, whale activity around SHIB has surged. Earlier this month, a whale address withdrew 220 billion SHIB (worth $4.63 million) from Binance after five months of inactivity. Such accumulation by large holders often signals confidence in an asset’s future price action. At press time, SHIB was trading at $0.0000207, reflecting a 0.45% surge in the past 24 hours.
