SHIB Team Says Shiba Inu Cycle Is Not Over as Supercycle Talk Emerges
Shiba Inu team member Lucie posted on X arguing that the SHIB market cycle is not finished, pointing to current market structure and commentary from industry leaders (Binance cofounder Changpeng Zhao, Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong, Ethereum co‑founder Vitalik Buterin and MicroStrategy’s Michael Saylor) that suggest a possible extended expansion or coming “supercycle.” Lucie said the absence of euphoria, excess leverage and broad retail participation implies the cycle may be stretched rather than exhausted, and urged the SHIB community to focus on positioning and discipline rather than emotion. SHIB’s price briefly reached $0.00001017 on Jan. 5, then fell to $0.00000743 on Jan. 19; at publication SHIB traded around $0.000007792, down about 61.8% year‑on‑year per CoinGecko. Traders are also watching the Fed’s preferred inflation gauge (PCE) for macro cues. Primary keywords: Shiba Inu, SHIB, supercycle, market cycle.

Neutral
Lucie’s message is a community reassurance that frames SHIB’s recent weakness as a stretched cycle rather than a terminal decline. This is unlikely to by itself trigger large directional moves: on one hand the narrative of a possible supercycle and endorsements from prominent figures (CZ, Armstrong, Buterin, Saylor) can support bullish sentiment among retail and long‑term holders; on the other hand SHIB’s substantial year‑to‑date and year‑on‑year losses, low participation and reliance on sentiment make near‑term price action vulnerable to macro shocks (e.g., PCE, Fed moves) and liquidity outflows. Historically, similar developer/community reassurance often stabilises sentiment briefly but does not reverse trends without accompanying on‑chain demand, exchange inflows, or macro tailwinds (e.g., Bitcoin cycles in 2019–2021). Therefore expect neutral to mixed impact: potential short‑lived relief rallies if macro data is benign or if market leaders signal broad inflows, but continued downside or sideways action if macro risks persist. Traders should watch volume, exchange flow, leverage metrics and PCE/Fed developments to time entries; use risk management and avoid overleveraging given SHIB’s volatility and social‑media–driven moves.
