He ended the shut down because it was failing to accomplish what he wanted and the public was against it.
It was smart decision by him. He saw he was losing so he cut his losses instead of punishing innocent government workers and everyone else suffering due to the shutdown. Since Trump took responsibility for the shut down from the very first he could not try to turn the blame against the Democrats. He basically boxed himself in with no way out.
I think he is betting on using the State of the Union speech to rally support for his position.
