Shiba Inu Burn Rate Surges 3,609% As Dogecoin Whales Move 5.8 Billion DOGE: What Is Going On?

Shiba Inu SHIB/USD and Dogecoin DOGE/USD are gaining momentum as Bitcoin reaches a new all-time high above $107,000.

Cryptocurrency	Price	Market Cap	24-Hour Trend	7-Day Trend
Dogecoin DOGE/USD	$0.4118	$60.6 billion	+1.9%	-5.5%
Shiba Inu SHIB/USD	$0.00002784	$16.4 billion	+0.4%	-6.5%

Trader Notes: Benzinga's technical analysis shows that SHIB's Relative Strength Index (RSI) stands at 42.85.

In a bullish trend, the 40-50 RSI range often serves as support.

The 50-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) is crossing above the 100-day and 200-day SMAs—a pattern typically indicative of building bullish momentum.

Prominent trader Cold Blooded Shiller noted that DOGE is "trading as if it's poised to get an ETF approval before Solana." Meanwhile, crypto trader Jake Wujastyk emphasized the importance of Dogecoin's volume shelf, predicting that a stronger shelf could fuel a more significant upside move.

Trader Tardigrade also pointed out bullish signs on DOGE's 3-day chart, signaling the potential start of a bull run. "DOGE is pumping soon," he stated.
