Here’s Why The Dogecoin And Shiba Inu Prices Crashed Violently

Share This Post

The Dogecoin and Shiba Inu prices have crashed violently today, sparking a bearish sentiment among investors. This price decline has occurred due to a recent development involving the incoming US First Lady, Melania Trump, who launched her meme coin. 

Why The Dogecoin And Shiba Inu Prices Crashed Violently

CoinMarketCap data shows that the Dogecoin and Shiba Inu prices are down over 7% in the last 24 hours. This price decline occurred following Melania Trump’s launch of her meme coin, ‘MELANIA,’ which sparked a wave of sell-off for other coins as investors rushed to accumulate the incoming US first lady’s meme coin.

Such coin launches are known to suck liquidity from other coins as investors offload their holdings in order to make quick profits from the new launch. A similar occurrence also happened over the weekend. The Dogecoin and Shiba Inu prices crashed as the incoming US President Donald Trump launched his meme coin ‘TRUMP.’

The ‘TRUMP’ and ‘MELANIA’ launch has also posed a big risk to the Dogecoin and Shiba Inu prices as these coins all fall under the meme coin category. In less than 48 hours, the TRUMP meme coin went on to flip Shiba Inu as the second-largest meme coin by market cap and was heavy on the heels of Dogecoin. 

Meanwhile, the Dogecoin and Shiba Inu prices also crashed due to the Bitcoin price decline. The flagship crypto dropped from $106,000 to as low as $100,000 on Sunday, dragging other coins along. These meme coins were bound to also suffer price declines since they share a strong positive price correlation with BTC

This price decline undoubtedly presents a huge setback for DOGE especially, as the foremost meme coin had reclaimed the crucial $0.40 level as support just before Melania Trump launched her meme coin. Analysts had before now suggested that a reclaim of that level could lead to higher prices for the foremost meme coin. 

Some Positives For The Meme Coins 

Despite the recent crash, the Dogecoin and Shiba Inu prices could soon witness a bullish reversal as crypto whales are still accumulating these meme coins. Crypto analyst Ali Martinez revealed that these investors bought 1.83 billion DOGE over the weekend. This is bullish for Dogecoin, considering how whale accumulation usually precedes a price surge.

IntoTheBlock data suggests that these Dogecoin whales are indeed accumulating as they anticipate a bullish reversal soon enough. DOGE’s large transactions have spiked by over 41%, with $23.35 billion traded during this period. Meanwhile, Martinez also provided a bullish outlook for the Dogecoin price, stating that the meme coin seems to be in a bullish retest of the breakout zone before advancing further.

The Shiba Inu price could also be set for a bullish reversal as IntoTheBlock data shows that SHIB’s large transactions have spiked by 145%, with $216.18 million traded in the last 24 hours.
