While DOGE and SHIB Struggle, Fartcoin Eyes a 400% Breakout

Dogecoin and Shiba Inu are stuck in downtrends, but traders are spotting something different in Fartcoin's chart structure that could signal a massive rally ahead.

Shiba Inu (SHIB) and Dogecoin (DOGE) both dropped 3% on Wednesday, continuing their struggles to find momentum. But while the two meme coin giants are stuck in neutral, traders are pointing to a newer contender that's showing the kind of chart structure that makes technical analysts sit up and pay attention. We're talking about a potential 400% breakout in 2026, and it's not coming from the usual suspects.

Dogecoin Holds the Line But Can't Break Free

Dogecoin is trading near $0.145, and if you've been watching the chart, you've seen this movie before. There's a descending trendline that's been acting as a ceiling since October, and buyers keep running into it like it's a glass door they didn't notice. The Supertrend indicator is still flashing red, which is trader-speak for "sellers are in control."

The problem isn't just that DOGE can't move up. It's that every attempt to reclaim the $0.165 level has failed. That's the first hurdle that needs to clear before sentiment can shift. On the downside, support between $0.135 and $0.128 has held multiple times, which is good news if you're long. But if that zone breaks, things could get uncomfortable fast, with deeper support levels sitting near $0.127 and $0.12.

Volume concentration in the lower band shows both buyers and sellers are engaged, but right now, the sellers have the upper hand. The structure keeps upside momentum limited, and until something changes, Dogecoin looks stuck in this range.

Shiba Inu Tries to Rally But Runs Into Resistance

Shiba Inu is trading around $0.00000855 and trying to build a base above a support block that's stopped declines several times. There's a positive sign here: SHIB broke through a blue downtrend line, which is an early indication that something might be shifting. But before you get too excited, take a look at where price is sitting relative to the moving averages.

SHIB remains below the 20-day, 50-day, and 100-day EMAs, and those are acting as firm overhead resistance. The Bollinger Bands show price lifting from the lower band, which suggests downside pressure is slowing, but that's not the same thing as a trend reversal. It's more like the selling has paused rather than stopped entirely.

For buyers to gain control, Shiba Inu needs to break above $0.00000908 and $0.00000919. If that happens, the chart opens up. But if price loses the $0.00000777 to $0.0000081 support block, the next demand area sits near $0.0000072, which would represent another leg down.

Fartcoin's Setup Looks Completely Different

While DOGE and SHIB are grinding through resistance, Fartcoin (FARTCOIN) is showing a chart structure that stands out. Price has pushed above the 20-day and 50-day EMAs for the first time since September, and it's now pressing directly into a multi-month downtrend that has rejected every rally attempt so far.

The compression is extremely tight, and selling volume has faded over the last several weeks. That's important because it suggests the supply that was hitting the market earlier has dried up. When you combine tight compression with declining selling volume, you get the ingredients for a potential breakout.

What really reinforces the setup is the whale flow data. More than $30 million in net inflows have entered Fartcoin over the past month, concentrated in the $0.26 to $0.34 accumulation block. That's not retail money moving in and out. That's large wallets positioning for higher levels, and they're holding rather than trading. The footprint on the chart shows a base that's held cleanly, which gives bulls a foundation to work from.

The decisive level to watch is the descending red trendline that's capped every rally since August. A daily close above that line opens up an air pocket toward the $0.6 zone, where the next liquidity cluster sits. With limited resistance above and EMAs now positioned beneath price, the structure aligns with a potential rally toward $1.4. That's where the 400% target comes from.

The Parabolic SAR is confirming a trend shift as each dip forms higher. For the short term, the 100-day EMA near $0.49 is no longer acting as resistance and is starting to flatten, which indicates early-stage momentum rotation. That's a technical way of saying the chart is transitioning from a downtrend to something that could move much higher.

So while the two biggest meme coins are stuck in downtrends, Fartcoin is quietly building the kind of setup that traders look for when they want asymmetric upside. It's not a guarantee, of course. Nothing in crypto ever is. But the structure is there, the whale activity supports it, and the chart is doing what charts do before they break out.
