Shiba Inu ( SHIB)
Shiba inu ( SHIB), which was one of Wednesday’s biggest gainers, climbing by as much as 17%, fell by over 10% today.
Following a high of $0.00001295 in yesterday’s session, SHIB/USD dropped to an intraday low of $0.00001097 earlier today.
Thursday’s drop came as the meme coin was unable to cross a long-term resistance level at $0.00001300.
Despite the relatively large drop in price, the 14-day relative strength index ( RSI) is still deeply overbought.
As of writing, the index is tracking at a level of 80.22, which is close to a ceiling at the 82.00 mark.
SHIB has somewhat rebounded from earlier declines, and is currently trading at $0.00001114.
Dogecoin (DOGE)
Like Shiba inu, Dogecoin (DOGE) also declined on Thursday, with prices falling for a fifth straight day.
Since rising to a one-month high on Saturday, the meme coin has moved lower in consecutive sessions.
Today’s low saw DOGE/USD slip to a bottom of $0.08013, which is nearly 8% lower than Wednesday’s peak.
Looking at the chart, the drop saw DOGE near a key support point at $0.08000, with bulls so far resisting a breakout.
Recent decline has pushed price strength significantly lower, moving from a reading above 70.00 on Saturday, to 52.35 as of writing.
The 50.00 mark on the RSI indicator seems to be a sustainable support point, however, should this fail to hold, DOGE bears will likely intensify downward pressure.
