How these figures are worked out
Sources, inflation measures and what is left out
- Month-end closes from Binance, May 2021 to Oct 2026. Oct 2026 is still in progress, so its figure is the latest close rather than a month-end. Our history for Shiba Inu starts in May 2021, so longer windows are left out.
- Real figures divide by US CPI (BLS, via FRED) or UK CPI (ONS, joined to the ONS long-run RPI before Jan 1988) and are stated in Oct 2026 money. The M2 lens divides by the US M2 money supply (Federal Reserve, via FRED). Pounds convert at each month's GBP/USD rate.
- US CPI is published with a lag: Oct 2026 uses the Aug 2026 figure.
- UK CPI is published with a lag: Oct 2026 uses the Aug 2026 figure.
- US M2 is published with a lag: Oct 2026 uses the Aug 2026 figure.
- A return of 12 months or more also shows its yearly rate. Gaps in a source are left as gaps and never filled in.

Shiba Inu is 5.0% below its 50-day average and 1.8% below its 200-day average, which puts the trend down on both the short and the long view. The 50-day line last crossed above the 200-day on 1 Oct 2026, the pattern traders call a golden cross.

Rules-based, from 400 daily prices. It describes the trend so far and does not predict the next move. How it works.
Why it sits in this zone
With a Bargain Score of 62, Shiba Inu is in the Discount zone: enough buy-side conditions line up, among them Price 94% below ATH, greed high and funding negative, but not all of the strict ones the Deep discount zone needs. At 94% below the $0.00008616 it reached in October 2021, Shiba Inu would need roughly a 17-fold rise to get back to its high, and it has been below that level for five years.
What drives the score
Once the weights are applied, price distress (0.95 out of 1) adds the most to its score and derivatives positioning (0.20) the least. It has come through one full market cycle by the model's definition, and its chance of a new all-time high is rated High. As a meme coin, its price rests almost entirely on attention, which the model has no way to measure.
Where the cycle targets come from
A smaller repeat of Shiba Inu's past range would not get it back to its old high, so the model anchors the cycle targets to that high instead, at $0.00009047, $0.00009908 and $0.00011201, and even the low scenario would need a 1,645% move from today's price.

Is Shiba Inu overbought, and how volatile is it?
RSI (14-day)
Neutral- Sessions at 70+ (past year)
- 3
- Sessions at 30 or lower
- 23
Shiba Inu's RSI of 40.3 is near the middle of the scale, which tells us the up and down days of the last three weeks have more or less cancelled each other out. For context, it last went above 70 on 21 Aug 2026 and last fell below 30 on 30 Jun 2026.
Volatility against other cryptocurrencies
6th calmest of 14- Typical daily move
- 3.7%
- Calmest in group
- TRX 11.7%
Shiba Inu's 30-day volatility is 70.0%, which works out at a move of roughly 3.7% on an ordinary day. That makes it the 6th calmest of the 14 cryptocurrencies we track, close to the group median of 73.4%. One very large day, such as an earnings release or a sudden sell-off, can lift a 30-day figure for weeks, so we would read the ranking as this month's picture.

Shiba Inu: questions people ask
Answers are built from the same live figures shown above, so they change as the price does. Last checked 14 Oct 2026.
What was Shiba Inu's all-time high in today's money?
Shiba Inu's highest recorded price was $0.0000862 on 27 October 2021, from CoinGecko's record of intraday trades. Restated with US CPI to Oct 2026, that is $0.000104 in today's dollars. In pounds it was £0.0000630 at the time, or £0.0000796 after UK inflation.
On month-end closes, which is what our tables use, the peak was $0.0000670 in Oct 2021, worth $0.0000811 today. The latest price is 93.3% below the real high.
Has Shiba Inu beaten inflation since May 2021?
Our monthly history for Shiba Inu starts in May 2021. Since then it is down 41.5% in dollars and down 53.0% after US inflation, so it has not kept up with inflation over that stretch. Measured in pounds after UK CPI the figure is down 51.6%. Against the US M2 money supply it is down 48.7%.
How long did Shiba Inu take to recover from past crashes?
After the Oct 2021 peak of $0.0000670 it fell 93.7% by Jun 2026, and has not closed above that high since. In real terms it has not recovered.
These use month-end closes, so intraday highs and lows were more extreme.
What is the price of Shiba Inu today?
Shiba Inu was trading at $0.00000518 when we last checked, at 00:14 BST on 14 Oct 2026, which is up 0.1% on 24 hours earlier. Crypto never closes, so we fetch a fresh price from CoinGecko every five minutes, and the figure here can be a few minutes old by the time you read it. At that price all the Shiba Inu in circulation is worth about $3.1bn, and $99.7m changed hands over the past day. Over the last month the price has moved +0.8% and over the last year −53.4%.
Is Shiba Inu overbought?
No, or at least not on the 14-day RSI, which reads 40.3 at the moment. We'd only start calling Shiba Inu overbought above 70 and it hasn't been there since 21 Aug 2026, while the last time it went the other way and dropped below 30 was 30 Jun 2026. RSI looks back over 14 sessions and asks how much of the movement was up and how much was down, so a reading in the 30s or 40s mostly tells us the past few weeks have been fairly even. Shiba Inu spent 3 sessions at 70 or above in the past year, which is one reason we don't treat a high reading as a cue to sell: in a strong run it can stay there for weeks.
What were Shiba Inu's best and worst days in the past year?
Going back to 13 Oct 2025, Shiba Inu's best day was 21 Aug 2026, when it rose 19.7%, and its worst was 5 Feb 2026, a fall of 15.0%. We measure each day from one daily close to the next in US dollars, so a spike that reversed within the same day won't show up here. Across those 366 days it moved 5% or more on 37 of them and finished higher 43% of the time, which gives you a feel for how bumpy holding it has been.
How has Shiba Inu done compared with Bitcoin?
Over the past 12 months Shiba Inu is down 53.4%, and since the start of the year it is down 24.8%. We put it next to Bitcoin because that is the obvious alternative for most people weighing up Shiba Inu, and it moved −27.8% over the same 12 months, a gap of 25.7 points in Bitcoin's favour.
How far is Shiba Inu below its 52-week high?
About 53.4%, so it would need to rise 114.7% to get back there. The highest close in the past year was $0.0000111 on 13 Oct 2025 and the lowest was $0.00000412 on 16 Jul 2026, which puts today's price 15% of the way up that range. We work this out from daily closing prices rather than the intraday highs and lows an exchange reports, so our high can be a little lower than the one you'll see quoted elsewhere.
How far is Shiba Inu below its all-time high?
Shiba Inu is 94.0% below its all-time high of $0.00008616, which it set on 27 October 2021, and its all-time low is $0, from November 2020. Getting back to the high from today's price of $0.00000518 would take a rise of about 1,562%. These figures come from CoinGecko and refresh every five minutes.
What zone is Shiba Inu in today?
Shiba Inu sits in the Discount zone with a Bargain Score of 62, meeting at least three of the model's buy-side conditions (Price 94% below ATH, greed high and funding negative). Rather than a recommendation, the label is a reading of where Shiba Inu's price and the wider market sit against the model's rules at this moment, and because the Fear & Greed value and the daily RSI both update at midnight UTC, just after midnight is when it is most likely to change. The 4-dot meter beside it shows where that zone sits on the five-step scale, from one dot for Expensive to five for Deep discount.
How long have Shiba Inu's past recoveries taken?
Shiba Inu has had one earlier fall of 50% or more in our price history: after its $0.00003591 peak in March 2024 it fell 89% and has not closed above that level since. Those are the only data points we have for this coin, which is too few to say anything reliable about the next recovery, since market conditions, supply and competition are different each cycle and some coins never regain a previous high.
What are the cycle targets for Shiba Inu?
The model starts from Shiba Inu's full range, its all-time high of $0.00008616 divided by its all-time low of $0, which is roughly 1,528,581-fold. It shrinks that multiple with a decay factor, on the assumption that each cycle is smaller than the last, and applies it from the low. For Shiba Inu that reduced repeat would not reach the old high, so the targets are anchored just above it instead, at $0.00009047, $0.00009908 and $0.00011201, which puts the low scenario 1,645% above today's price. They describe what a reduced repeat of the past would look like and say nothing about whether that will happen.
