- Shiba Inu is down more than 14% so far in December 2025.
- Historically, December has been a weak month for SHIB.
- Low liquidity and fading momentum reduce odds of a late rally.
With only days left in December 2025, Shiba Inu appears on course to extend a familiar year-end pattern: closing the month in negative territory. The meme token has struggled throughout the fourth quarter, mirroring broader weakness across the crypto market and leaving investors with little sign of a late reversal.
December has compounded that pressure. Shiba Inu entered the final month of the year at roughly $0.000008385 and has since slid more than 14%, reinforcing a downtrend that has defined much of Q4. At the time of writing, SHIB trades near $0.00000720, showing no clear momentum shift.
December Has Rarely Favored SHIB
Historically, December has been an unfavorable month for Shiba Inu. The trend dates back several years, often reflecting broader market stress or post-rally profit-taking.
In December 2021, SHIB dropped nearly 30% as investors locked in gains following its explosive bull-market run earlier that year. The weakness continued in December 2022, when the token declined again amid widespread fallout from the FTX collapse, which triggered panic-selling across digital assets.
December 2023 offered a rare break from the pattern. SHIB posted a strong double-digit gain, raising hopes that the token might finally establish a more consistent year-end performance. Those expectations, however, faded quickly. By December 2024, Shiba Inu had reversed course, falling more than 20% as traders took profits after a sharp rally earlier in the month.
What It Would Take to Flip December Green
For Shiba Inu to close December 2025 in positive territory, the bar is high. Prices would need to climb back above the monthly open, implying a rally of more than 16% within a narrow time window.
Such a move appears challenging under current conditions. The final days of December are typically marked by thinner liquidity, as many traders step away for the holidays. While SHIB’s trading volume has seen a modest short-term uptick, overall dollar turnover remains subdued, limiting the likelihood of a sustained breakout.
Weak Momentum Heading Into Year-End
Recent price action underscores the lack of conviction. Shiba Inu has edged lower over both daily and weekly timeframes, signaling that sellers remain in control. Without a sharp improvement in sentiment or broader market strength, the token may simply drift into year-end with losses intact.
As 2025 draws to a close, SHIB’s struggle highlights a recurring challenge: sustaining momentum once speculative interest fades.
