SHIB-DOGE bounces from record low

While SHIB fell 5%, dogecoin suffered a bigger loss of over 8%, resulting in a notable recovery in the Binance-listed SHIB-DOGE pair from record lows.

The pair's daily MACD histogram is on track to turn positive, marking a bullish shift in momentum, which suggests that SHIB could continue to outperform DOGE in the coming days.

That said, the overall outlook would remain bearish as long as the descending trendline from the March 2024 highs remains intact.
