The model showed that the token broke support at $2.05 as selling pressure intensified throughout the period.
The breakdown accelerated on volume of 10.3 million tokens, confirming the violation of ascending trendline support that anchored the recent bullish structure, according to the model.
Multiple tests of the $2.05 level established this zone as key resistance before the collapse undermined technical foundations.
Price action revealed a violent rejection from higher levels as DOT forms an ascending channel from $2.01 to $2.09 before encountering massive selling, the model said.
Wider crypto markets also fell, with the CoinDesk 20 index lower by 0.6% at publication time.
Technical Analysis:
- Primary support holds $1.95 psychological level after $2.05 breakdown
- Immediate resistance forms at $1.985 following failed recovery attempts
- Critical ascending trendline support violated during breakdown
- Exceptional 10.3 million volume marks 284% surge above 24-hour average
- Peak hourly volume of 995K represents 400% above session baseline
- Elevated volume confirms technical breakdown rather than questions validity
- Ascending channel from $2.01-$2.09 completes with violent rejection
- Consolidation range of $1.95-$2.01 contains current price action
- Downside target approaches $1.90 if $1.95 support fails to hold
- Recovery requires reclaim of $2.00 resistance with volume confirmation

Shiba Inu (SHIB) vs Little Pepe (LILPEPE): Which Meme Coin Will Take the Crown from Dogecoin (DOGE)?
The post Shiba Inu (SHIB) vs Little Pepe (LILPEPE): Which Meme Coin Will Take the Crown from Dogecoin (DOGE)? appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Dogecoin has been the face of meme coins for a long time. From Elon Musk tweets to a robust community, DOGE has managed to stay alive. But in 2025, things appear slightly different. Will Shiba Inu keep pursuing Dogecoin, or will new contender Little Pepe pass them both by? Dogecoin (DOGE): Still the Benchmark Dogecoin is trading just above $0.2452, up 10.63% over the past week. That steady climb shows why DOGE still matters: it has the liquidity, the listings, and the recognition that few meme tokens can match. Analysts see its price grinding higher into year-end, supported by altcoin momentum and ETF launches in the U.S. But here’s the thing: DOGE is no longer a scrappy underdog. With a market cap already in the tens of billions, turning $100 into $10,000 here is nearly impossible. It’s the Bitcoin of meme coins: reliable, liquid, and still iconic, but its days of 1,000× gains are behind it. Shiba Inu (SHIB): Big Name, Slowing Engine Shiba Inu sits at $0.00001349 with a market cap of $7.6 billion. It’s clawed back momentum with a 3.98% monthly surge, and analysts project a further 9.26% weekly gain to $0.00001418. Token burns and the expansion of Shibarium, its Layer-2 solution, keep the ecosystem alive. That said, SHIB’s size is also its weakness. Even with whales accumulating another 62 billion tokens, growth projections hover in the 400%–500% range, which is impressive but pales in comparison to what early buyers saw in 2021. SHIB is in the odd position of being too big to vanish, but too large to repeat its breakout magic. Little Pepe (LILPEPE): The New Challenger SHIB grew on pure hype, but LILPEPE comes with real infrastructure. The project is building an Ethereum-compatible Layer-2 network designed for meme tokens, with near-zero fees, sniper-bot resistance, and…
