The second-largest meme coin was relatively sluggish in the past few weeks but managed to break out today and tap a new multi-month peak of over $0.000033.
As such, it briefly re-entered the top 10 altcoins by market cap, but the subsequent retracement pushed it back to 11th spot after Avalanche.
However, it slipped in the following weeks to $0.000025, where it stood from November 12 to earlier today. In a somewhat surprising move during the weekend, the second-biggest meme coin shot up by more than 22% and soared past $0.000033 for the first time since March this year.
Although it has retraced slightly, it still trades above $0.00003 and its gains on a 24-hour scale sit at 15%. This price rally came amid a massive rise in the SHIB burn rate on a weekly scale, according to Shibburn.

SHIB_KNIGHT was more modest but still predicted a new all-time high for SHIB after today’s surge. It’s worth noting, though, that the meme coin is still 64% away from its peak reached over three years ago. Its price would almost need to triple from its current levels to exceed the $0.000086 reached on October 28, 2021 (CoinGecko data).
