Shiba Inu Sideways as Bonk and Unilabs Finance Gain Momentum in 2025

Despite a recent bullish rebound, analysts suggest that the path for Shiba Inu (SHIB) to reach $1 remains uncertain and potentially far off, with projections stretching into 2028 [1]. The coin’s price has managed to recover from a two-week correction phase, bouncing from $0.000011 to trade above $0.000013, but has remained in a sideways trend for the past six months. Analysts remain cautious, noting that a break above $0.000014 could open the door for more gains, but a rejection at this level may push the price down toward $0.000010, prolonging the timeline for any significant move toward $1 [1].

Meanwhile, investors are increasingly shifting their focus to other meme and DeFi projects, notably Bonk and Unilabs Finance, which have shown stronger momentum and clearer use cases in 2025 [1]. Bonk, a Solana-based meme token, has successfully broken out of a tight $0.00002485 to $0.00002645 trading range, surging past the $0.0000264 resistance level. This breakout indicates strong buying pressure, with the coin holding above $0.00002600 despite dips, signaling a potential for further gains [1].

Unilabs Finance has also attracted attention as a DeFi project with a real-world application and a growing user base. The UNIL token, currently trading at $0.0097, has seen increased demand due to its innovative features, including a high-yield staking pool offering 122% annual returns and an AI-driven market pulse tool that assists investors in making informed decisions [1]. The project has already surpassed $12.3 million in funding during its presale phase, outpacing traditional meme coins like SHIB in early adoption [1].

The growing interest in Unilabs Finance reflects a broader trend in the crypto market, where investors are moving away from hype-driven assets and toward projects with clear utility and technological innovation. Unlike Shiba Inu, which remains in a sideways range, both Bonk and Unilabs Finance are being viewed as more viable investment options for the current year [1].

According to analysts, the market’s current dynamics indicate that Shiba Inu may need to retest key levels such as $0.000016 before any meaningful bullish movement can be confirmed [1]. In contrast, Bonk’s recent price action and Unilabs Finance’s real-world use cases provide a stronger narrative for short- to medium-term growth. This shift in investor sentiment highlights the evolving nature of the cryptocurrency market, where utility and innovation are increasingly taking precedence over speculative hype.
