While green dominates the top alternative crypto markets this week, memecoins Shiba Inu (SHIB) and Dogecoin (DOGE) stand out with double-digit gains after a long price consolidation phase.
Shiba Inu saw an 8.98% upsurge to reach $0.00000809 on Thursday but got rejected at the confluent resistance barrier and now trades at $0.00000787, according to independent cryptocurrency price aggregator CoinGecko.
