Technical analysis: DOGE, SHIB and PEPE

Dogecoin price falls by around 2.7% on Wednesday, breaking a streak of four consecutive days of gains. 

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) momentum indicator reads 71, in the overbought zone and pointing downwards. The current overbought status suggests that traders shouldn’t add to their long positions, while an exit from the area would provide a sell signal as the chances of a deeper pullback would increase. 

In case of a decline, DOGE could sweep liquidity at the lower boundary of a Fair Value Gap (FVG) at $0.16261, a key support level.

The RSI reads 57, above the neutral level of 50, suggesting slightly bullish momentum.

If there is a correction in Shiba Inu price, the meme coin’s first support aligns with the 200-day EMA at $0.00001709.
