What Is Going On With Dogecoin And Shiba Inu?

Dogecoin DOGE/USD and Shiba Inu SHIB/USD continue to struggle, as a prominent crypto trader points out the short-term risks and opportunities for the meme coins.

What Happened: Dogecoin and Shiba Inu are down 14% and 18% in the last seven days amid a market-wide correction. Crypto trader Kevin remains optimistic, pointing out that Shiba Inu is retesting its macro structured support. He also noted that the three-day relative strength index is at the same level as it was at the bottom of the bear market and suggested that it would be unwise not to start a Dollar-Cost Averaging (DCA) position in Shiba Inu.

If Bitcoin BTC/USD breaks its all-time highs, SHIB will outperform it, according to the trader.

For Dogecoin, Kevin predicted that a price jump above $0.133 could present bullish momentum, adding that "until then we have to be conscious that more downside is possible."
