Shiba Inu Enters October With Strong Seasonal Record, but 2021 Skews Data

Shiba Inu (SHIB) is entering October with gains in four of the past five completed years, while an 833% jump in October 2021 heavily skews the token’s long-term seasonal average.

SHIB’s average October return is 167.5%, compared with a median gain of 6.04% and an 80% win rate. The wide gap between the average and median shows how strongly the 2021 surge affects the broader calculation.

The token gained 833% in October 2021, followed by increases of 10.4% in October 2022, 6.17% in October 2023 and 1.48% in October 2024. SHIB then fell 15.2% in October 2025, leaving four positive months among the five completed years.

That record supports a seasonal bullish case, but it does not show that October consistently produces large gains. The median return provides a more moderate view of the typical result because it is less affected by the 2021 outlier.

SHIB has also posted a strong partial third-quarter gain in 2026, although available datasets give different figures. One calculation places the gain at 39.3%, while another puts it at 34.3%. The quarter was not complete as of Sept. 25.

SHIB closed at $0.00000577 on Sept. 24, 2026, UTC, with a market capitalization of $3.324 billion and $148.6 million in 24-hour trading volume.

Market-analysis projections identify $0.00000626 as a local resistance level and place potential chart-based targets between $0.00000950 and $0.00001100. Those levels are projections rather than confirmed market events.

No new official Shiba Inu announcement or filing confirms an October-specific catalyst. The month’s case therefore rests on historical performance and recent momentum, while the record also includes a significant decline in 2025.
