It is not just a price ceiling thatShiba Inu (SHIB) is facing — it is a wall of trillions. Currently priced at $0.000015, even a doubling of the price would leave SHIB far from the $0.0001 milestone needed to delete a zero.
To reach that level, a record-breaking rally would be required. Not only would SHIB have to set a new all-time high, surpassing the $0.00008845 peak it reached in October 2021 and then keep going.

However, the price itself is not the only problem. A key challenge lies in what sits between the current price and that goal. To be specific, there is still out-of-the-moneySHIB worth 532.45 trillion, which was bought between $0.000015 and $0.000019.
Pressure point
That is not just a price range; it is a pressure point. Dispersed across over 125,000 addresses, the volume acts as a barrier, and holders are likely waiting to break even before taking action.
Further zooming out, there is currently over 794.41 trillion SHIB, worth around $11.53 billion, at a loss right now. Add to that another 30.25 trillion SHIB, worth $439.06 million, at breakeven, and the picture becomes crystal clear: the market must pull a massive amount of dormant supply back into profit territory to delete a zero. Every upward tick increases the likelihood that some of it will hit the market.

Some relief comes from the fact that about 410.43 trillion SHIB — nearly 41% of the total supply — is locked in burn addresses and permanently out of circulation. Although this takes some pressure off, it still has not been enough to flip the supply-demand balance in favor ofShiba Inu.
Ultimately, the path to $0.0001 is not just about momentum or market hype. The question is whether the market can overcome one of the largest overhead barriers on any major crypto chart today. Without the supply being unlocked and absorbed, erasing a zero may remain just out of reach for the meme coin.
