Shiba Inu (SHIB) has ridden a fresh wave of speculative buying this week, with the token jumping nearly 16% while the broader meme coin sector surged<\/a>.<\/p>\n

According to Santiment<\/a>, total meme coin valuation rose by about 23% over the period as traders piled back into higher-risk tokens.<\/p>\n

Trading volumes jumped<\/a> from $2.16 billion to roughly $8.6 billion, a whopping increase that shows how fast money rotated into this corner of the market.<\/p>\n

Supply Concentration Raises Eyebrows<\/h2>\n

Reports have disclosed that supply remains highly concentrated among a handful of wallets. The top 10 holders control over 60% of SHIB\u2019s maximum supply, which equals around 1 quadrillion tokens.<\/p>\n

\"\ud83d\udc36\"\"\ud83d\udcc8\" Meme coins, the most “speculative” of assets, have proceeded with their post-holiday run. The entire meme market cap is now above $45.3B, growing by +20.8% in just the past week.<\/p>\n

Those wallets together hold about 630 trillion SHIB. Based on Santiment\u2019s figures, the official burn wallet alone holds roughly 40% of the total supply, a stake valued at over $3 billion. This kind of concentration can magnify price swings if large holders move coins onto exchanges or sell.<\/p>\n

Technical Setup Points To A Test<\/h2>\n

Analyst Charting Guy flagged the token\u2019s weekly chart as “looking good”<\/a> in a January 4 tweet, noting a strong weekly candle that closed up 22%. Based on reports, SHIB started 2026 at $0.000006904 and has since pushed higher.<\/p>\n

The meme coin briefly traded above $0.0000093 before a pullback and is currently around $0.000008766. Year-to-date gains sit near 64% and the token was up 2.14% over the past 24 hours and 15.7% over the last week.<\/p>\n

Charting Guy\u2019s chart shows SHIB approaching the tip of a long-running descending trendline that traces back to a high of $0.0000334 in December 2024. A break above that line would raise the chance of a larger move higher.<\/p>\n

\nMeme Coins See Wide Gains<\/p>\n

Other tokens<\/a> have also posted big moves. Dogecoin recorded about a 20% rise while Pepe surged roughly 65% over the same span. The group\u2019s sharp gains came as speculative interest accelerated and traders chased short-term returns.<\/p>\n

Market Volume And Trader Behavior<\/p>\n

Santiment\u2019s data highlights that trading activity spiked dramatically, signaling a swift return of hot money to meme coins. The jump from $2.17 billion to $8.7 billion in daily traded value shows more participants are active and willing to take bigger risks.<\/p>\n

Based on the mix of heavy supply concentration and a crowded technical setup, Shiba Inu\u2019s path could widen in either direction. A decisive breakout above the descending trendline might extend last week\u2019s rally, while heavy selling from large wallets could trigger sharp pullbacks.<\/p>\n
