Bitcoin's Slump Impacts Memecoins
Despite Bitcoin's recent sluggishness, the memecoin craze has largely subsided. Dogecoin, the leading memecoin, has turned bearish due to Bitcoin's bearish signals. However, DOGE remains within a bullish range, while Shiba Inu may experience a pullback and stay within its range, despite a 12% rise in the last 48 hours.
Dogecoin's Consolidation Before a Potential Move
DOGE's price surged over 150% after breaking above $0.15, forming a bullish pattern. It currently trades within a rising parallel channel, with bulls maintaining the rally above average levels. This dominance may result in continued consolidation and an ascending trend.
DOGE's price action suggests a bull flag formation within the rising channel. Contracted and parallel Bollinger bands indicate reduced volatility. The MACD shows a drop in volume and pressure, but bulls support the rally, potentially priming the price for a significant rise to $0.55 if resistance is breached.
Shiba Inu's Decisive Phase
Shiba Inu operates within a rising wedge, generally considered bearish long-term. Market participants may anticipate a buying opportunity in the first fortnight, possibly continuing the trend until year-end. This could propel SHIB's price beyond its previous high and create a new ATH.
However, the SHIB price tests the support level of the wedge. Bearish technicals hint at a potential breach of the lower support. The MACD exhibits dwindling buying pressure and a bearish crossover. The RSI nears support at 57.87, with a drop below signaling a new bearish trend, potentially dragging levels below $0.00003. Despite this, the price may bounce back as a good buying opportunity, aiming to reclaim highs above $0.000035 by the end of 2024.
