Dog-theme memecoins DOGE and SHIB crashes, over $90 million wiped out

  • Dogecoin and Shiba Inu prices continue to edge down on Monday after falling more than 10% on the previous day.
  • These dog theme-based memecoins liquidated over $90 million leveraged traders in 24 hours.
  • The technical outlook suggests a continuation of the downleg, as both memecoins’ momentum indicators favor downward move.

Dogecoin (DOGE) and Shiba Inu (SHIB) prices continue to edge down on Monday after falling more than 10% the previous day. The recent downturn has liquidated over $90 million from these dog theme-based memecoins in the last 24 hours. The technical outlook suggests the continuation of the downturn, as both memecoins momentum indicators show a bearish trend.

Dog memecoins traders face massive wipeout

The dog theme-based memecoins DOGE and SHIB declined more than 17% in the last two days. The coins continue their double-digit declines on Monday, triggering a wave of liquidations, resulting in over $90 million in total liquidations and more than $80.91 million specifically in DOGE, according to data from CoinGlass.

Huge Liquidations like this could spark Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt (FUD) among the dog theme-based memecoins investors and could cause a rise in selling pressure, leading to further decline in its prices.
