Analyst Predicts Two Shiba Inu Price Targets by Late 2026

An on-chain analytics platform has issued a bullish outlook for Shiba Inu, projecting that the token could erase a zero by the end of this year.

Shiba Inu has been trading in bearish territory for several months. However, investor interest in its long-term prospects remains elevated, with growing discussions about where the token could stand by the end of 2026. Leading analysts have stepped in to share forward-looking projections for the token.

Key Points

• Despite trading in bearish territory, analysts expect $SHIB to erase one zero by year-end.
• The outlook indicate $SHIB could surge 400% to 700% from its current price by the end of 2026.
• Optimism is driven by speculation about a crypto supercycle and potential regulatory progress.
• Amid these bullish projections, $SHIB extended its losses over the weekend, slipping below $0.000006.

Shiba Inu to Hit $0.00003 – $0.00005

In a recent tweet, Whale Scan offered an optimistic forecast, predicting that Shiba Inu could climb to $0.00003–$0.00005 by late 2026. The estimate followed a request to adjust a price chart to highlight $SHIB’s potential cycle top.

Notably, the projected range represents a 401%–736% surge from the current price of $0.000005979.

2026 Projections for Shiba Inu

Whale Scan’s outlook closely aligns with growing expectations of a major rally later this year. Several other analysts and platforms have issued similarly optimistic forecasts, reinforcing bullish sentiment around $SHIB.

For instance, Changelly and Telegaon expect Shiba Inu to erase a zero by year-end. Specifically, Changelly sets $SHIB’s maximum 2026 price at $0.0000142, while Telegaon projects a much higher target of $0.0000543.

Meanwhile, ChatGPT offers an even more bullish outlook, estimating that $SHIB could climb to $0.000115 under favorable market conditions. However, Coincodex remained conservative, projecting that $SHIB could trade at $0.000009616.

Catalysts Fueling Bullish Projections

The optimism that $SHIB will close 2026 on a bullish note stems from speculation about a potential supercycle later in the year. Proponents argue that the traditional four-year cycle has shifted to a five-year cycle, with the bull phase likely unfolding in the coming months.

Additionally, regulatory momentum could strengthen sentiment. Industry leaders, including Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse, believe the CLARITY Act could become law by the end of April. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has emphasized that the legislation is crucial for market stability. Supporters argue that its passage would boost investor confidence and attract institutional capital, potentially favoring $SHIB.

Moreover, Shiba Inu could gain its first U.S.-based spot ETF exposure this year. The SEC is set to decide on T. Rowe Price’s filing, which mentions $SHIB as a potential fund asset, by February 26.

Caution Remains

Despite these bullish projections, Shiba Inu remains under strong bearish pressure. Over the weekend, the token declined again, slipping from $0.000006 to $0.000005933.

In addition, ecosystem challenges continue to weigh on sentiment. Low token burns and concerns that the team is not prioritizing $SHIB have intensified selling pressure, leading skeptics to rule out any significant rally this year.
