Shiba Inu and Dogecoin price prepare for recovery amidst bear market woes

Several key updates in the meme coin ecosystem have fueled a bullish sentiment among Shiba Inu and Dogecoin holders. Timothy Stebbing, Product Lead at the Dogecoin Foundation recently told investors not to invest in DOGE as a speculative asset. Stebbing argued that the team is building a future currency, a decentralized form of money that can be regulated by governments. 

Dogecoin is therefore meant to be a decentralized form of money with widespread adoption and utility. In the case of Shiba Inu, Welly, a one-of-a-kind fast-food chain, has emerged as a top-rated fast-food store on UberEats. Shiba Inu has taken part-ownership in the restaurant chain, therefore it is a bullish update for SHIB holders. 

Analysts at FXStreet evaluated the Dogecoin price trend and charted a precise path to a bullish target at $0.110. 

Dogecoin is currently trading at $0.066 and a breakdown could push DOGE to $0.057. Analysts have identified a reversal area between $0.048 and $0.057, which could act as a springboard to the aforesaid bullish target.

Hublot, Switzerland-based elite watchmaker recently recognized digital currencies. Hublot announced the acceptance of Shiba Inu (SHIB) and Dogecoin (DOGE) through BitPay. The watch brand was founded in 1980, and now accepts SHIB and DOGE, boosting the utility of the two meme coins. 

In the video below, FXStreet analysts have identified the key factors that could result in a massive explosion in Dogecoin price. 

Shiba Inu is a favorite of Ethereum whales

Based on data from WhaleStats, Shiba Inu is one of the most widely held cryptocurrencies among Ethereum whales. The top 5000 Ethereum whales hold $657 million in Shiba Inu tokens. This is a significant quantity of Shiba Inu tokens, making it a favorite  among Ethereum whales. 

Through the recent Shiba Inu price drops, Ethereum whales got busy accumulating the meme coin. They added more SHIB to their portfolio ahead of a rally in the Dogecoin-killer token. 

SHIB Knight, a crypto analyst, has predicted a rally in Shiba Inu. The analyst has set bullish targets at $0.00001196, $0.00001274 and $0.00001323 for Shiba Inu. 

Support for Shiba Inu, meanwhile, is likely to kick in at $0.00001171 and $0.00001148.
