My darling friends, behold the spectacle! The illustrious Shiba Inu (SHIB) coin commenced the year 2026 with all the panache one might desire. Indeed, the numbers themselves caterwaul with excitement, registering a resplendent 28.6% surge in January making it the most divine performing January since the merry month of 2023, according to the charming folks at CryptoRank, when it vaulted up by a blithe 46.2%, reminiscent of a meme coin in full fettle!
But let us not be swept away by the vibrations of mere enthusiasm, for the market cap chart regales us with a narrative of steady resurgence. Within the last 24 exhilarating hours, SHIB has burst from its cocoon of mid-4.5 billion financial prowess and unveiled itself gallantly near $5.17 billion, touching an intraday zenith at 5.30 billion-oh, how delightful!

The apostrophe-laden headline “$600 million added” is more than mere arithmetic-itโs the chasm between the publicโs literature and its amusements.
Shiba Inu price’s anti-history
What truly distinguishes this jolly jaunt is its stark deviation from tradition for the SHIB coinage. The historical grid reminds us that January is a month often painted red for this peculiar currency, bringing to mind previous losses of 10.9% in 2025, a jarring 13.4% in 2024, and an astonishing 36% in the regrettable 2022. Oh, how fickle the market can be!
And the median for January? A lacklustre loss of 10.9%. One begins to suspect the market, in its infinite jest, prefers to play pranks on SHIB at the dawn of each year.
Thus, this January ascends to importance like a cup of cambric tea at afternoon tea. Should SHIB persistently strut above the venerable $5 billion market cap, it shall transcend mere one-day frothiness, establishing itself as the theme for Q1 performances. It is, therefore, a quintessential crossroads!
Conversely, the not-so-charming possibility that green months lead to as sharp a profit-taking as a satirical quip would imply. The inaugural test, indeed! Can the next retracement be tendered without relinquishing that pivotal $5 billion line, or shall it falter, as often past frolics have? Only time and a dash of serendipity shall tell.
