On 4 February, 2023, the SHIB/DOGE pair reached 0.00001638 DOGE, which is almost a 100% increase in the last three months. This comes after it bottomed out at 0.00000993 DOGE – its lowest level on record.

This sharp recovery came as investors’ focus shifted towards the upcoming launch of Shibarium – a Shiba Inu-backed layer-2 blockchain built on the Ethereum mainnet which was announced on 16 Jan, 2023.

The price of SHIB gained momentum amid reports that Shibarium will go live on 14 February, 2023. Meanwhile, fundamental indicators for DOGE looked pale in comparison after Elon Musk suspended a DOGE tipping bot for violating Twitter’s rules.

Several technical indicators currently suggest that the recovery trend is set to continue for SHIB/DOGE in the coming weeks. Furthermore, the pair could climb to 0.00002181 by March of this year if historical cycles are any indication.

Although SHIB appears to be in a better position to outperform DOGE, both cryptos may face headwinds against the dollar this month.

Looking at DOGE’s daily chart, the meme coin may experience a small correction versus the dollar in the coming days as a rising wedge pattern has formed. Should the bearish chart pattern play out, the downside target for DOGE’s price will be $0.0850, which is around 10% from current levels.

Meanwhile, SHIB/USDT is also overstretched on its daily chart, with the Relative Strength Index (RSI) indicator currently in overbought territory at 82.58. In addition to this, SHIB’s price is currently facing a strong resistance zone around $0.00001517 – where a pullback is likely.

If this pullback takes place, February could see SHIB’s price drop to $0.00001300-$0.000013000, which has been its most active zone in recent months. This would constitute a 13%-20% from current price levels.
