Dogecoin, Shiba Inu and Pepe drop: The memecoins waver

Memecoins continue to correct, and the signal becomes clearer. Dogecoin, Shiba Inu, and Pepe no longer benefit from the same speculative appetite. The decline remains contained, but it weakens technical supports closely watched by traders.

Dogecoin loses its psychological support

Dogecoin remains under pressure after a drop of more than 6% in the previous week. This decline fits into a larger phase where falling memecoins show the fragility of the speculative segment. DOGE traded around 0.102 dollars on Monday, below important technical zones. The rejection near the 100-day exponential moving average, located around 0.105 dollars, cooled buyers.

The problem with DOGE is not only its decline. It is mainly its inability to quickly regain a visible resistance. When an asset fails near such a closely watched level, the market often reads this as a lack of fuel. The crowd expected a rebound. It gets hesitation instead.

The 0.100 dollar threshold thus becomes more than just a round number. It is a psychological boundary. A clear break could open the way for additional pressure. Conversely, a return above 0.105 dollars would give some breathing room to the bullish scenario.

Shiba Inu leaves its comfort zone

Shiba Inu also sends a fragile signal. The token closed below the lower bound of its consolidation zone around 0.0000056 dollars. This kind of breakout is rarely neutral. It shows that buyers no longer defend the range with the same conviction.

SHIB is often driven by its community, its narrative, and its cycles of enthusiasm. But in a drier market phase, this is not always enough. Investors watch supports, volumes, and the ability to quickly reintegrate previous stability zones.

If rejection confirms around 0.0000056 dollars, the decline could target the low of February 6, close to 0.0000050 dollars. It is not a spectacular collapse. It is rather a slow erosion. And for a memecoin, this slowness can sometimes be more dangerous than a sudden crash.

Pepe follows the same tune. The token dropped more than 2.7% the previous week and retested on Monday a daily support near 0.0000036 dollars. A close below this level could increase the risk of a return towards 0.0000033 dollars.

PEPE remains the most nervous asset of the trio. It can rebound quickly, but it can also lose footing without warning. That is the price of its highly speculative nature. Here, the market is not only judging a project. It is judging a collective mood, a rotation speed, and a willingness to take risk.

The real danger for Pepe would be a clean break of the support. Not a quick wick. Not a simple false move. A clear close. In this case, many traders might consider the correction scenario takes precedence over the rebound scenario.

The market tests speculators’ patience

This memecoin correction does not mean the cycle is over. It rather means that liquidity is becoming more selective. When the crypto market slows down, the most narrative assets are often the first to tremble. Dogecoin, Shiba Inu, and Pepe then serve as a risk thermometer.

Technical indicators point in the same direction. The RSI remains below neutral zones for Dogecoin, while the MACD keeps a negative bias. Shiba Inu and Pepe also show unfavorable momentum on these indicators. The market is not panicking. It is simply removing part of the speculative premium.

The next moves will therefore depend less on slogans than on daily closes. Memecoins can bounce strongly if Bitcoin stabilizes and if risk appetite returns. But for now, the message is colder. The market no longer automatically pays for the joke. It demands proof, especially after the recent comeback of the memecoins PEPE, Dogecoin, and Shiba Inu.
