$SHIB Surprises Analysts with Best Monthly Gain in September
Shiba Inu has defied expectations by recording its strongest price recovery in September, making it the meme token's best-performing month so far in 2026. The asset closed September with a 13.5% monthly gain, according to data from CryptoRank. This unexpected turnaround comes after analysts had predicted that September would be one of Shiba Inu's weakest months.
Shiba Inu began showing signs of recovery three months ago when it recorded a positive monthly close in July with a 12% gain. The momentum has been sustained through the third consecutive month, with September seeing even higher gains as bullish sentiments intensify.
The strong price performance in recent weeks has made September Shiba Inu's best monthly stretch of 2026. Analysts believe that the momentum will fuel further demand for Shiba Inu, positioning it for bigger gains in the coming month of October, known as Uptober.
