📰 Key Recent News & Trends
Dogecoin (DOGE):
Dogecoin rose ~2.5% after a post by Elon Musk on X, with technicals suggesting potential for a ~25% rally toward ~$0.26. CoinCentral
But broader sentiment warns of a possible drop: a report suggests DOGE and SHIB “could drop 50% this week” based on derivatives/short-positions data. Coinpaper
There are also non-price related events tied to DOGE (e.g., legal/incident news) which might affect sentiment. politico.com+1
Shiba Inu (SHIB):
SHIB’s burn rate surged ~1,224% in a day, which can reduce supply—but price remains under pressure. benzinga.com
Technical setup: SHIB is caught in a descending triangle; breakout above ~$0.0000108 could target ~$0.000012. thetradable.com
However, network/activity concerns: one article says SHIB “faces drop” as activity slows. analyticsinsight.net
General Meme Coin Market:
One piece projects that a newer meme coin, AlphaPepe (ALPE) built on the BNB Chain, might be the “next big meme” for Q4 2025. Indiatimes
The concept: capital may be rotating from saturated large memecoins (DOGE, SHIB) into smaller/early-stage meme tokens with higher risk/reward.
✅ Key Takeaways & Things to Watch
Hype & sentiment remain the main drivers in meme coin space, rather than fundamentals. tangem.com
Even with strong communities, meme coins carry very high risk of sharp drops. As noted: “could drop 50% this week”. Coinpaper
Technical setups (for SHIB/DOGE) show possible breakout zones, but also risk of failure.
Newer/more speculative memes (like ALPE) may carry bigger upside and bigger downside.
Always check: exchange listings (e.g., on Binance), tokenomics, community, liquidity/lock-ups. For instance, PEPE got further support via Binance. CryptoPotato
