Bitcoin Hits New ATH: Same Old, Same Old? Shiba Inu Bounces Back & Dogecoin’s Drama Continues

Ah, Bitcoin. It has finally broken the $111,000 barrier and entered the gloriously overdone land of a new all-time high. Yet, somehow, the market’s reaction was about as enthusiastic as my cat when I try to get her to fetch. Remember 2021’s fireworks or 2017’s parabolic rollercoaster? Yeah, this feels more like a leisurely nap on a sunny windowsill — still rising, but not exactly a spectacle. Bitcoin chart showing upward trend

Technical analysis says Bitcoin is cruising along, with the 50-day EMA confidently riding above the 200-day — a.k.a., the “golden cross,” for those who really enjoy their charts. It also busted through resistance at $102,000, with volume inching up like a squirrel on espresso. But a closer look reveals that things are getting a tad overcooked. The price has drifted far from its short-term averages, and the RSI hit 77, which is just a fancy way of saying “brace for impact,” as a correction might be knocking on the door. Because nothing says “party” like an overextended market and a nervous RSI.

Despite smashing through the all-time high, it’s more a psychological milestone than a market catalyst. Unlike before, when breaking an ATH sparked a buying frenzy, this time it’s more like watching a non-traditional dance where everyone stands still — just rotating their old money and squeezing out fatter shorts. About $239 million in short positions went down with a bang, but without fresh buyers eager to jump in, that momentum might fizzle faster than my enthusiasm for morning workouts.

Ultimately, that new ATH feels more like a checkbox than a party. It confirms the long-term narrative but hasn’t yet ignited that FOMO-fueled rally of yesteryear. Until new money shows up, Bitcoin might need to take a breather — maybe drop back to the $101,000-$102,000 zone — which most traders would call “support,” but I call “the calm before more chaos.”

Shiba Inu Is Trying to Shake Off Its Meme-Laden Blues

Meanwhile, Shiba Inu — the cryptic canine that’s been tumbling more often than a toddler on a sugar rush — is showing signs of life. After weeks of chaos and confusion, it bounced off its 100 EMA like it just remembered it’s actually worth something. The coin crept above the critical $0.0000150 mark, a razor-thin line between hope and despair. The fact that support held was as surprising as finding a clean sock in a laundry pile. The 26 EMA is curling upward like a hopeful puppy chasing its tail, hinting at a possible momentum comeback. Shiba Inu chart

If this upward trend continues, SHIB might finally dare to cross the 200 EMA — currently a stubborn resistance at about $0.000016. But caution, friends: double tops are as common in crypto as bad hair days, and volume remains whisper-quiet compared to past glorious eruptions. If buyers don’t step up, that $0.000017 high could turn into a lonely mountain none of us will want to climb again. Still, for now, it’s just a technical bounce — no fireworks, no confetti, just a hopeful hop. Shiba Inu bouncing

Dogecoin’s Best Effort Yet — A Return to $0.30?

And then there’s Dogecoin, valiantly trudging back towards the sacred $0.30 level, trying to convince us it’s more than just a punchline. After breaking through a downtrend that’s been dogging it (pun intended), DOGE now heads bravely for $0.25 — a level that’s been both a wall and a tease. At nearly $0.24, it’s like the stubborn ex who keeps knocking on your door, hoping you’ll change your mind. Dogecoin chart

There’s a promising setup with the 26 EMA aligning with the 50 and 100, forming a triangle of hope. Combine that with the recent exit from a falling wedge pattern, and it’s almost like DOGE is staging a comeback — or just throwing a Hail Mary in the hopes that no one notices how flimsy the structure really is. Break that $0.25 resistance, and it could rally to $0.28 or even push all the way to $0.30 — a level that Mindset Magazine would probably call “psychologically significant” or something equally vague.

But don’t start planning your “Dogecoin to the moon” party just yet. If it can’t stay above $0.25, it might do a quick retreat back to the 100 EMA around $0.21 — the crypto equivalent of a midlife crisis. The recent volume uptick suggests some interest, but not so much that we’re heading for a euphoric bull run. Patience, dear traders — or just a good place to hide from the chaos.
