Even Good Dogs Have Bad Days: DOGE and SHIB Catch a Brief Nap as Memecoin Pack Goes Red

On April 2, the memecoin playground saw some of its favorite pups stumbling a bit, with Dogecoin ($DOGE) and Shiba Inu ($SHIB) both nursing modest losses as the broader crypto market caught a case of the blues. Looks like someone's been feeding them too many treats—the correction diet has begun.

Dogecoin took a 2.79% tumble over the past 24 hours, currently lounging around $0.09044 with a market cap of $13.89 billion, per CoinMarketCap. Before sellers showed up to the party, DOGE had been chilling near $0.093, but the bears apparently decided it was time for a correction. Someone definitely didn't get the memo about staying horizontal.

Trading volume surged above $1 billion, while the circulating supply sits at roughly 153.66 billion with no maximum cap to speak of. The RSI hovering around 48 suggests our favorite memecoin is in neutral-to-slightly-bearish territory—there's room to run before hitting deeply oversold conditions that typically come with rebounds. Think of it as the crypto equivalent of "not quite panic mode, but definitely not calm."

The selloff traces back to the usual suspects: overall crypto market jitters, global financial market drama tied to Middle East tensions, and good old uncertainty around interest rate moves. Many investors are trimming riskier bets, and since DOGE follows Bitcoin's lead like a loyal pup, any BTC slowdown tends to drag meme coins along for the walk. Loyalty is great until the leader heads toward the bathroom.

Short-term moving averages are showing their teeth, with the price sitting below several key lines. Immediate support lurks around $0.0897 if the dip deepens, while $0.093 is the resistance level to watch for any potential recovery. The lines in the sand have been drawn—now we see who actually remembers where they put the treats.

For those keeping score at home, GigaWallet remains in beta testing, still promising to make DOGE payments easier for businesses and developers. The hype hasn't fully arrived yet, but when it does, even your barber might finally accept Dogecoin.

Meanwhile, Shiba Inu ($SHIB) also joined the red party, dropping 2.37% to trade below $0.000005864. The token holds a $3.45 billion market cap with $119.27 million in daily trading volume. SHIB has been stuck in a consolidation phase for about a week, weighed down by
