Analyst YourPOP, with nearly 250,000 followers on X, has forecast that Shiba Inu (SHIB) could break its previous all-time high (ATH) of $0.00008845 before the end of 2025. This would require a nearly 600% increase from its current price of approximately $0.00001259, as the meme coin has already seen a 6% weekly gain.
On-chain data from CryptoQuant indicates a negative exchange netflow for SHIB over the past week, with exchange reserves dropping to a multi-month low of around 84.3 trillion tokens before a slight rise to 84.5 trillion. This reduction in tokens on centralized platforms suggests decreased immediate sell pressure, as investors move holdings to self-custody methods.
Historical performance supports the bullish outlook, with SHIB recording positive returns in three out of four Q4 periods since 2020. In Q4 2021, it surged 364%, followed by gains of 41% in Q4 2023 and 20% in Q4 2024. So far in Q4 2025, SHIB has already increased by 6.45% in the first two days.
However, challenges persist. Daily transactions on Shibarium plummeted to under 5,000 after a mid-September security breach, down from millions earlier in the summer. Additionally, SHIB's Relative Strength Index (RSI) has exceeded 70, signaling potential overbought conditions that could lead to a short-term pullback. Skeptics point to these factors and the token's massive supply of nearly 589 trillion as obstacles to sustained growth.
Other analysts, including "Anonymous" and Eunice Wong, have echoed optimistic projections, with some targeting $0.0001. Despite mixed community reactions, reduced exchange reserves and seasonal trends fuel hopes for a breakout.
