What to know:
Dogecoin surged nearly 9% as traders speculated on U.S. ETF approvals and institutional interest.
SHIB's 6% rally was supported by a significant drop in exchange reserves, highlighting reduced supply.
Technical analysis shows DOGE's support at $0.242 and resistance at $0.254, with potential to reach $0.32.
Dogecoin ripped nearly 9% higher, breaking through resistance on more than a billion tokens traded. Support reset to $0.242 after an early breakout, while late-session flows pushed DOGE into the $0.254 zone before consolidation.
Traders pointed to SHIB’s parallel 6% rally — underpinned by record trillion-token turnover and exchange balances at two-year lows — as further evidence of institutional accumulation across meme-coins.
News Background
DOGE advanced 8.8% over the 24 hours from Oct. 1, 03:00 to Oct. 2, 02:00, climbing from $0.23 to $0.25. The move was fueled by speculation around U.S. ETF approvals and aggressive institutional positioning.
SHIB also surged 6.2% in the same window, with exchange reserves dropping to multi-year lows, underscoring a reduction in available supply as meme-coins gained broader bid interest.
