Shiba Inu [$SHIB] has been falling on the charts since hitting $0.00003309 in late 2024, when the whole crypto market rallied to the upside. The same is true for its trading volume too, with the same well below its previous levels.
Why is the popoular memecoin in the news right now though? Well, with daily volumes of $52.68 million at press time, AI models are now projecting modest to moderate upside potential by the end of the year.
Shiba Inu, Claude, and Grok AI models forecast on $SHIB
As per AI models, $SHIB’s price action is expected to pull fair gains by the end of the year.
Shiba Inu AI predicts that the memecoin may see modest upside by the end of the year. While this seems to be a bullish predcition, it’s worth noting that other models are more optimistic than $SHIB’s own AI.Claude and Grok AI models, for instance, anticipate moderate gains by the end of 2026.
All the three models agree $SHIB will not see an explosive rally this year though.
Both Claude and Grok attribute the projected medium gains to the already existing massive community that continues to grow. Moreover, they agree Bitcoin [BTC] would be a catalyst to $SHIB, rallying alongside capital rotation into memecoins.
However, both Claude and Grok believe that adoption across the Shibarium ecosystem is too weak to spark a price breakout. In fact, Grok believes that the ecosystem and broader crypto sentiment will determine $SHIB’s direction.
On the other hand, Claude found that network activity has been lagging and token burns have been limited. For instance – As per Shibburn, 4.090 million $SHIB worth $17.13 had been burned in the last 24 hours. This alluded to a 19.85% fall in daily burn rate.

Can $SHIB’s price follow the AI predictions?
On the smaller timeframes, $SHIB’s price has been ranging above the $0.00000412 zone since late June. This hinted at a quiet market.
At the time of writing, the 24-hour volume and the RSI were declining, showing selling activity in the short term. Holding above the support and breaching resistance at $0.0000045 would open the door for a move to $0.00000510.
