Dogecoin, Shiba Inu Tumble 9% as Bitcoin Slides Toward $60,000

3 articles · Updated · CoinDesk · Jun 5

Summary

  • Dogecoin fell to $0.0830 and Shiba Inu to $0.000004630, with both memecoins breaking key support as selling intensified across crypto markets.
  • Bitcoin’s slide toward $60,000 drove a broader risk-off move, triggering liquidations and pushing traders out of the market’s most speculative tokens first.
  • Heavy volume hit during the breakdowns rather than rebounds, while DOGE futures open interest fell and SHIB open interest stayed near cycle lows—signs sellers still control the trade.
  • Technical levels now point lower: DOGE risks a move toward $0.067 if $0.0819 fails, while SHIB could test $0.000004500 if support near $0.000004575 gives way.
  • Exchange outflows in both tokens usually signal accumulation, but for now macro pressure and momentum are outweighing those bullish cues, leaving former support as immediate resistance.
