Key Points:

  • Dogecoin has surged 35% this week, holding above $0.27 despite a $680M whale sell-off.
  • ETF approval speculation is fueling DOGE’s symmetrical triangle breakout potential toward $0.61.
  • Pepe is consolidating in an ascending triangle near $0.00001150 with whale accumulation supporting upside.
Dogecoin, PEPE, Shiba Inu concept

Dogecoin (DOGE), Pepe (PEPE), and Shiba Inu (SHIB) are bouncing from local lows as fresh catalysts reignite memecoin momentum.

DOGE has climbed 35% in a week, holding above $0.27 support despite a $680 million whale dump, thanks to buzz around the first US spot Dogecoin ETF.

PEPE is pressing against $0.00001150 resistance with whales adding to positions, while SHIB has seen its burn rate spike 438% alongside 1 trillion tokens shifted by large holders.

The question now: which of these memecoins is best positioned to outperform in the weeks ahead?

Dogecoin Eyes Symmetrical Triangle Breakout Toward $0.61

Dogecoin has spent more than four years consolidating inside a massive symmetrical triangle, marked by lower highs since 2021 and rising support from local lows.

Its resilience above the 20-week EMA ($0.22) and 50-week EMA ($0.21) highlights steady bullish momentum despite recent whale selling.

With ETF approval providing a structural catalyst, DOGE now looks positioned to challenge the upper trendline.

The triangle’s measured target sits near $0.61, up 125% from current levels. This target further aligns with resistance from the 2021 peak.

Momentum indicators back the case, with the relative strength index (RSI) at 58 showing room for an advance before overbought conditions set in above the 70 mark.

Pepe Builds Ascending Triangle, Targeting $0.00002150

PEPE is flashing a bullish ascending triangle on the weekly chart. Price has been pressing against a horizontal ceiling near $0.00001150–0.00001200 while forming higher lows since early 2025.

This structure often precedes a strong breakout if buyers finally absorb the overhead supply.

The projected target from this formation sits at $0.00002150, nearly doubling current levels.

Onchain data shows whales are quietly accumulating, strengthening the bullish bias. RSI remains neutral around 49.8, suggesting room for volatility once a breakout attempt materializes.

Shiba Inu Struggles Under Key Resistance

Shiba Inu’s recent fundamentals, including a 438% spike in burn rate and whale transfers, highlight ongoing community activity. But its price chart lags behind DOGE and PEPE.

SHIB/USDT weekly price chart

SHIB remains capped under overlapping resistance from the 50-week EMA ($0.00001478), 200-week EMA ($0.00001520), and the horizontal barrier near $0.00001700. Without a breakout, upside momentum is muted.

If bulls do reclaim those levels, the next leg higher could target $0.00002523. That would amount to a 65% upside from current levels near $0.000015. Until then, RSI around 47 reflects indecision, and the rising lower trendline near $0.00001050 remains the key support.
