Dogecoin is pressing on a familiar technical hinge on the weekly chart. In a setup highlighted by crypto analyst Cantonese Cat (@cantonmeow), DOGE has completed a third multi-month descending trendline test in as many cycles, with price now hovering just below a quarter dollar after a brief breakout and early retest. On the 1-week timeframe, the chart shows three distinct bear-market trendlines and subsequent expansions. The first downtrend, drawn from late-2022 swing highs through mid-2023 lower highs, was broken in September 2023. From that breakout point, DOGE advanced roughly 230%, marking the cycle’s initial expansion phase. The second sequence repeated across late-2023 into 2024: an April–June 2024 distribution created a fresh descending line that capped price through October 2024, when a weekly close through the line triggered the next impulse. From that October 2024 breakout, the advance extended about 350% into the late-2024 peak.

Over the past several candles, DOGE pushed through that line, then slipped back toward it, producing a classic “return move” on reduced momentum. As of the chart’s timestamp (Sep. 29, 2025, 00:04 UTC), DOGE trades around $0.2369 on the weekly, a level that sits in the middle of this retest zone. Golden Cross Or One More Dip For Dogecoin? Crypto analyst Cas Abbé (@cas_abbe) is closely monitoring the daily chart, where a golden cross between the 100-day SMA ($0.2192) and the 200-day EMA ($0.2199) is forming. Historically, such crossovers have signaled the beginning of extended bullish phases. Abbé stressed the broader market impact of a Dogecoin rally, noting: “DOGE golden cross is approaching soon. This is one of the alts I’m paying very close attention to. The reason is very simple: When DOGE pumps, Altseason starts.” His key threshold is $0.33, a resistance level that has capped multiple rallies. A clean break above it could accelerate capital rotation into the broader altcoin market. “If DOGE manages to pump above $0.33, alts will go bonkers,” he noted.

Cryptoinsightuk (@Cryptoinsightuk) shared a liquidity heatmap indicating dense bids around $0.18, while supply concentrations above $0.30 form notable resistance zones. He explained his tactical approach: “Because of this I’ve closed my DOGE long slightly in the green and I’ve placed bids around $0.18.” This reflects a market structure where traders are positioning for downside liquidity sweeps before potential continuation higher. Currently trading near $0.229, DOGE sits at the intersection of conflicting signals. On one side, the historical pattern of breakouts from descending trendlines, the imminent golden cross, and Abbé’s $0.33 breakout level argue for bullish continuation. On the other, liquidity maps suggest vulnerability to deeper retracements toward $0.20–0.18 before any sustained rally. Featured image created with DALL.E, chart from TradingView.com

Solana is once again at a pivotal crossroads, with its price hovering around the 50-day EMA —a level that could dictate its next major move. A decisive break above $220 could ignite fresh bullish momentum, while failure to hold could open the door for a slide back toward $175. SOL Tests 50-Day EMA As Market Watches Closely Lark Davis, a widely followed crypto analyst on X, recently noted that Solana has returned to test its 50-day EMA. This moving average has historically provided both support and resistance for SOL, making the latest retest a key moment for traders watching the coin’s short-term direction. Related Reading: Solana (SOL) Nosedives – Traders Fear More Pain Could Be Ahead In addition, Davis highlighted signs of improving momentum on the indicators. The MACD histograms are curving upward, hinting at a potential shift in momentum from bearish to bullish, while the RSI is slowly rising, suggesting that buying pressure may be building. These developments signal that Solana is preparing for a recovery phase if buyers step in with stronger conviction. Despite these encouraging signals, Davis noted that trading volumes remain muted. Low volume often raises concerns about the strength behind a move, as rallies without significant participation can fade quickly. What To Watch For As Solana Builds Strength Analyzing the potential outlook for Solana, Lark Davis highlighted two distinct, high-stakes scenarios based on how the asset interacts with the 50-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA). This EMA acts as a pivotal line, and the price’s reaction here will determine the direction of the short-term trend. Related Reading: Solana Eyes Massive Breakout Amid $240 Retest, But Analyst Issues Crucial Market Warning The first potential outcome is that if the price is decisively rejected at the 50-day EMA, known as a bearish retest, it would signal weakness and likely lead to a move downward. In this case, the analyst targets the $175 support level as the expected floor. While he qualifies shorting as “nasty business,” he suggests it could be done in this specific situation. The second outcome, which is a bullish scenario, requires a strong display of conviction from buyers. This involves a successful and robust reclaim of the 50-day EMA, specifically confirmed by today’s daily candle closing above $210. To further solidify this bullish case, the price ideally needs to push beyond the subsequent resistance at the 20-day EMA, which sits near $220. Given the immediate threat and the potential for a swift upside move, the analyst suggests a high-risk, high-reward play. Initiating a long position from the current price, near $209, with a tight stop-loss might be a sensible strategy to catch the bullish scenario and capitalize on the quick momentum if the price successfully reclaims the 50-day EMA.

Shiba Inu (SHIB) is witnessing a significant shift on centralized exchanges, as fresh on-chain data reveals that the meme coin’s reserves have plunged below the $1 billion mark following a massive withdrawal spree. While this decline may seem concerning at first glance, historical trends suggest that such large-scale withdrawals often indicate a shift from selling to accumulation in the long term. Shiba Inu Exchange Reserves Plunge To New Lows According to data from CryptoQuant, Shiba Inu’s exchange reserves have experienced a steep drop in recent months. As of September 28, 2024, SHIB’s supply across exchanges was approximately 143.62 trillion tokens, equivalent to over $1.5 billion at the time. However, by Monday, September 29 2025, reserves have thinned down significantly to 84.55 trillion tokens, valued at just under $998 million at current market rates. Related Reading: Is Shiba Inu At Risk Of Losing Its Second-Largest Meme Coin Position To PEPE And MemeCore? Based on this timeline, the supply of Shiba Inu on exchanges has decreased by a whopping 59.1 trillion tokens in just one year. This marks the lowest level of SHIB held on exchanges since 2023, highlighting a shift in investor sentiment as withdrawals flood the market. Notably, the sharpest decline in Shiba Inu’s exchange reserves this year was recorded on January 7. At the time, holdings across these centralized platforms fell to 107.84 trillion SHIB, marking a drop of more than 33 trillion tokens from January 6, when reserves stood at roughly 140.79 trillion coins. Since then, SHIB’s exchange balances have continued to shrink, decreasing week by week. The decline in available supply suggests that investors may be moving their tokens into self-custody or staking options, thereby reducing risks from widespread selling pressure. Historically, when exchange reserves plummet, assets become scarcer for trading, creating conditions in which price pressure can develop if demand increases. At the same time, SHIB’s price has faced turbulence in recent months. The token is currently trading at around $0.000011, down from its local highs earlier this year. However, analysts like ’SHIB KNIGHT’ on X social media believe that the current dip represents a buying opportunity, pointing out that the meme coin has entered a key accumulation zone. He argues that long-term holders are capitalizing on lower valuations, slowly adding to each dip. Technical Signals Hint At SHIB Price Breakout While Shiba Inu’s exchange supply declines, technical charts suggest that the meme coin may be preparing for its next price breakout. According to market expert ‘SHIB Mortal,’ Shiba Inu is showing signs of setting up for an “Uptober” rally. His chart analysis highlights a descending resistance trendline that the coin has repeatedly tested, paired with strong support around the $0.000010 zone. Related Reading: Why Shiba Inu Price Could Explode 100% With This Descending Pattern On The 2D Chart SHIB Mortal’s chart illustrates a potential reversal pattern forming, where the meme coin could bounce off current support, reclaim the trendline, and ignite a possible rally to $0.000019 by October. This move would mark a surge of over 70% from current levels around $0.000011. Featured image from Getty Images, chart from Tradingview.com
