The $10.5 billion cap Dogecoin contender, Shiba Inu ($SHIB), is down worse than Bitcoin.

It nosedived 11% overnight and 20% over the week to trade at $0.00001777 as of this writing.

Broadly speaking, all the leading meme coins appear to be tracking each other. The original and largest meme coin, Dogecoin ($DOGE), also fell 11% overnight. It’s seven-day losses amount to around 15% as it trades at $0.1195 by Tuesday afternoon.Holders of other doge-themed meme coins faced still heavier losses. DogWifHat ($WIF) shed 14% of its value overnight and 23% over the week to land on $2.01.In stark contrast to the meme coins, market leader Bitcoin’s ($BTC) losses were much lighter. The world’s favorite cryptocurrency shed 0.5% overnight and 2.5% over the week to a price of $64,903.

Shiba Inu’s price chart for the last three months indicates the token’s potential for further losses in the short term.

It’s now trading at a bottom previously seen back on April 15, meaning it’s hit a two-month low.

With a volatile relative strength index (RSI) below 30 and potentially inclining towards another drop, Shiba Inu is in danger of losing its foothold on the crucial $0.0000175 support level.

Throughout most of the period under examination, Shiba Inu faced stiff resistance at $0.00003.

The last time it traded comfortably above this price was in early March, when it set a 2024 high of $0.000036. However, that’s a far cry from an all-time high of $0.00008616, posted on October 28, 2021.
