How Dogecoin, Shiba Inu whales “perfectly foreshadowed” the current dump, The two largest meme cryptocurrencies, Dogecoin and Shiba Inu, are currently facing a heavy price correction alongside bitcoin and major altcoin. The retracements come just days after both tokens recorded a notable increase in the market price and capitalization, following the rise in whale activities.
SHIB, DOGE spiked as whale volume surge
The price of Dogecoin increased from $0.071 at the beginning of the week to $0.089 on Tuesday, which accounts for a more than 25% growth. Within the same period, the second popular meme token, Shiba Inu, soared 50% from $0.000012 to $0.000018.
The increase in both tokens coincided with a surge in whale transactions, suggesting that the deep-pocketed investors were responsible for the price rallies, besides other market factors. This is evident following new on-chain data, which shows the prices started dropping as the whale transactions subsided.
