The entire cryptocurrency market was drowning deep in the Red Sea. Amidst this, two prominent meme coins were seen contributing to a major part of this bloodshed. Dogecoin [DOGE] holds the reputation of being the OG meme coin while Shiba Inu [SHIB] has been lauded for its explosive growth rate. But over the past 24 hours, DOGE and SHIB have dipped by 9.23% and 10.95%, respectively. At press time, Shiba Inu was trading at $0.0000181, much below the $0.00002 threshold. Meanwhile, Dogecoin had dropped to a low of $0.113 but after a slight recovery, it was priced at $0.122.
This sudden decrease in the price of these assets harms the market’s mood. In addition, data from Santiment indicates that the public enthusiasm over large-cap assets like Shiba Inu, Dogecoin, and even XRP is on a downward trend. For most people, such a price drop represents an opportunity to buy. But, the current FOMO for these assets is at its lowest in one year showing that investors are hesitant.
