The past few days have been volatile for the crypto market, especially for Shiba Inu and Dogecoin investors. As Bitcoin recently experienced a sudden drop in price by retesting the $50K zone, it sent bearish waves across the entire market, causing many meme coins to lose momentum, including the beloved Shiba Inu and Dogecoin. However, analysts expect a strong rebound for DOGE and SHIB prices as they show potential for a recovery.
Crypto Market Cap Loses $2 Trillion Milestone
Since January 22, the cryptocurrency market cap has maintained a consistent upward trend, hitting a significant milestone with a new yearly high surpassing $2 trillion. Despite this remarkable achievement, prices have faced a slight downturn in recent days.
Of particular note, the price of Bitcoin briefly surged above the $53,000 level; however, it struggled to sustain its upward momentum, triggering anxiety among investors. This led to a surge in selling activity, resulting in total liquidations exceeding $300 million within the last 24 hours. Consequently, the price of Bitcoin retreated towards $50,500; nevertheless, bullish sentiment emerged, preventing further declines.
Dogecoin (DOGE) Price Analysis
Attempts by the bears to draw Dogecoin back into the symmetrical triangle pattern didn’t meet defense from the bulls. As a result, DOGE price continues to break below immediate Fib channels, weakening the chances of a bullish comeback. As of writing, DOGE price trades at $0.0835, declining over 1% from yesterday’s rate.
Currently, the 20-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) at $0.085 is gradually trending downwards, along with the Relative Strength Index (RSI) dropping below the midline toward 41, signaling bearish dominance.
Any bullish signs could face challenges if the price continues to trade below the moving averages. Such a scenario would suggest rising bearish sentiment, with selling pressure even in minor relief rallies. A drop below the ascending downtrend line at $0.08 might create a wave of selling pressure.
However, should the bulls successfully reverse the current trend and send the price above EMA lines, there’s potential for the DOGE price to surge towards the resistance zone near $0.09.
Shiba Inu (SHIB) Price Analysis
Shiba Inu has experienced a retracement after failing to hold its upward trend near $0.00001, indicating that short-term traders might be taking profits. Typically, such retracements might plunge the buying confidence, consolidating the SHIB price within a bearish channel pattern. As of writing, SHIB price trades at $0.0000094, declining over 1.6% from yesterday’s rate.
The declining 20-day EMA at $0.00000965 and an RSI approaching oversold conditions suggest that the momentum remains with the bears. If the price declines further and falls below $0.0000092, it might approach the crucial support at $0.0000085, a level that could attract buying interest anew. However, should the downward pressure continue, the meme coin could drop to $0.0000079.
Should the price reverse upwards and surpass the EMA trend lines, it would signal accumulation by buyers and continue an uptrend, potentially leading the SHIB price toward a target of $0.00001.
