Dogecoin could see its first meaningful turn higher around September 13, according to crypto analyst VisionPulsed, who argues the current drawdown fits a post-halving template in which markets remain weak until roughly 510–511 days after Bitcoin’s supply cut before staging a final run. In a video published on September 1, he told viewers, “I would argue starting around September 13th, the selling may subside… 511 days post halving last cycle, we were already going back up. 511 days post halving the cycle before that we were already going back up.” Dogecoin Pain May End September 13 The analyst frames the present weakness as part of a longer, slower cycle characterized by extended ranges rather than deeper collapses. “Unfortunately, we’re still going down,” he said, adding that in this cycle “the corrections have been longer… every time we go sideways, it’s forever.” He points to historical windows of September weakness—citing September 2–26 in 2021 and a shorter November dip in 2017—as signposts that align, by coincidence or causality, with the post-halving rhythm he tracks. Related Reading: Dogecoin Price Risks Crash Below $0.1, But Can Bulls Facilitate This 800% Rally To $1.82 First? VisionPulsed’s timing call is backed by the liquidity gauge M2, which he contends continues to correlate with crypto leadership even as that leadership rotates between assets. “Some people are saying the M2 doesn’t work anymore. I would disagree,” he said. In his view, the indicator “followed Solana basically to the tee” in 2023, then tracked Bitcoin, and more recently has matched flows into Ethereum and BNB as Bitcoin dominance fades. “Let’s not pretend BNB is not going up with the liquidity,” he said, while conceding, “I’m not going to sit here telling you that I know exactly where the liquidity is going to go next… I don’t know.” That leadership rotation, he argues, helps explain why some large-cap tokens lag. “Maybe our coins are not getting affected by the liquidity ’cause our coins are rubbish,” he said. He suggested that assets which already printed cycle-highs may see limited additional upside, extending the same logic to Bitcoin by arguing its ultimate peak may be closer than many expect: “Maybe it’s $140,000. Maybe it’s $130,000. It’s not going to $200,000.” He also claimed that XRP’s structure shows prior all-time highs on his charts, adding that it has not been participating in the latest liquidity impulse. Related Reading: Biggest Dogecoin Cycle Explosion Looms If This Trigger Fires: Analyst For Dogecoin specifically, the analyst’s base case is that it remains down the market-cap leaderboard and has yet to benefit from the liquidity rotation that favored Bitcoin first, then Ethereum and BNB, with “slight” spillover to Solana. He cautioned that a broader “altseason” remains contingent on traditional risk appetite, pointing to the Russell 2000’s inability to break to new highs. “Until we have that present, I really wouldn’t be looking for an alt season,” he said, quantifying the lag between prior halvings and a confirmed small-cap equities breakout as roughly 18 days, then 123 days, then 190 days—versus more than 480 days without such a breakout in the current cycle. “Yes, this is the worst market cycle to date,” he said. “There’s no question. But that doesn’t mean it has to not happen. It just might be taking longer than we might have wanted it to.” While he pins September 13 as the earliest window for relief, VisionPulsed warned that the subsequent liquidity setup is noisier. He highlighted a zone from roughly September 14 to October 24 in which his M2 gauge tends to get “wonky,” noting that previous instances still allowed for a final all-time-high push even as the underlying measure wavered. “Will we go up for a top or will we just be bearish forever and ever? We’re going to find out together,” he said. For now, he concluded, “we are still bearish as of now,” emphasizing that the thesis is probabilistic and time-dependent rather than a guarantee.

Shiba Inu’s active addresses have crashed over 50% in three months, providing a bearish outlook for the top meme coin. This development has also coincided with the SHIB price crash during this period. Shiba Inu’s Active Addresses Crash Over 50% Santiment data shows that Shiba Inu’s active addresses have crashed by over 50% since they peaked on May 2 at around 7,800. Since then, this metric has been on a downtrend, dropping to as low as 2,500 earlier in June. Now, the number of active SHIB addresses is currently at an average of 3,000. Related Reading: Shiba Inu Exec Gives Reasons To Keep Going Despite SHIB Price Crash The drop in Shiba Inu’s active addresses has followed the crash in the SHIB price. Notably, the meme coin reached a peak of around $0.17 in May and has been in a downtrend since then. CoinMarketCap data shows that Shiba Inu is down over 10% from its 3-month high in May. SHIB’s decline has occurred despite the bullish sentiment in the broader crypto market. During this period, Bitcoin and Ethereum have rallied to new all-time highs (ATHs). However, the SHIB price has underperformed despite its positive correlation to the flagship crypto assets. Meanwhile, Shiba Inu’s network growth also paints a bearish picture for the meme coin. Santiment data shows that this metric has been on a downtrend since it peaked in July. Back then, the network growth hit 2,309 in reference to the number of new users adopting Shiba Inu. Since then, the network growth has spiraled down, dropping to as low as 1,078 on September 1. However, a positive for the SHIB price is that the number of holders has increased during this period. Santiment data shows that the total number of SHIB holders has increased during the past three months and is currently at 1.53 million. This suggests that investors continue to believe in the SHIB price’s trajectory, despite its underperformance so far. The meme coin is down over 43% year-to-date (YTD). SHIB Price Confirms Bullish Pattern From a technical analysis perspective, crypto analyst Javon Marks has also provided a bullish outlook for Shiba Inu. In an X post, he stated that the SHIB price has confirmed a bullish pattern in a regular bull divergence, as indicated by the MACD Histogram. Related Reading: Shiba Inu Price Set For 650% Expansion To $0.00009 ATH If This Happens Marks explained that this suggests that a major bullish reversal back to the upside may be on the horizon. This could include a rally of over 163% to the $0.00003 range, which the analyst claimed may only be the start. As the SHIB price continues to hold its breakout over an older structure, he predicted that the meme coin could record a rally of over 570% to the $0.000081 breakout target. At the time of writing, the Shiba Inu price is trading at around $0.00001228, up over 2% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.
