Shiba Inu Holds Steady While Analysts Predict Explosive Comeback
Shiba Inu is holding a spot just under its recent high of $0.00001540, gaining 8% in the last week. The excitement is gaining ground with analysts predicting an explosive comeback, with price predictions running as high as 550%, aligning with our recent prediction of 340% surge. Despite the cautious state of the crypto market, several voices in the community see this as more than just a meme coin moment.
LucieSHIB’s Aggressive Outlook
LucieSHIB, a notable contributor to the ecosystem, has put forward the most aggressive outlook. She tied the forecast directly to the upcoming launch of Shibarium L3, a key network layer many believe could transform SHIB’s role in the crypto space. “The key driver here is scaling and throughput. If Shibarium L3 delivers as promised, SHIB becomes a different kind of asset,” one Shiba Inu developer stated plainly. This specific prediction points toward a $0.000077 price level. The basis? A combination of a falling wedge breakout on the monthly chart and a technically oversold RSI. In chart watchers’ circles, that’s usually a bullish combo. The date for LucieSHIB’s forecast came through a post made on April 5, 2025.
All Eyes on Shibarium: Is the Hype Justified?
Another bold forecast came earlier this month from TheSHIBMagazine, placing SHIB at $0.000167, a jaw-dropping 14x from where it sits now. But not everyone’s buying into that level of optimism. An options trader on X took a step back, warning: If the rally’s going to be sustainable, we need more than just hype—we need capital rotation. Skepticism is growing in some corners, especially since SHIB briefly popped above the $0.000012 mark but didn’t bring significant trading volume with it. The lack of momentum made some traders question whether this push has the legs to last. And when it comes to crypto, no volume often means no party.
Grounded Predictions and User Growth
On a more grounded note, another trader who goes by @just_stuff_tm shared a target of $0.000015 by May. Not as flashy, but he’s leaning on real metrics—burn rates and user growth. He pointed out a 1,500% spike in SHIB token burns and a 4,100% jump in users on Shibarium, both seen as signs of life beneath the surface. “Despite whale dumps, I’m betting on a bounce back,” the trader said.
Can the Burn Game Light a Fire Under SHIB?
From the original supply, around 410.75 trillion SHIB tokens have already been burned, with another 4.86 trillion locked in as xSHIB, according to Shibburn. Those numbers sound big—and they are—but the daily burn rate is slipping. 62.38 million SHIB were burned in 24 hours, a 112% surge that could throw cold water on the bullish hopes.

For SHIB to punch through to higher ground, three things need to come together. First, there must be continuous burns and a tapering of whale dumps. That could turn SHIB from abundant to scarce. Next, Shibarium L3 needs to not just launch—it needs to be adopted and perform. Further, Shiba Inu ETF also gaining momentum.
Right now, SHIB is consolidating around $0.00001160. The Bollinger Bands—those tight little boundaries chart traders use—are narrowing. In simple terms, that usually means a big move is coming. Whether it’s up or down depends on what happens next.
