A recent poll indicates that financial experts remain skeptical if Shiba Inu 
is able to overtake Dogecoin in value. The poll, conducted by Finders, 
surveyed 14 finance experts for their opinion on whether SHIB will ever 
overtake DOGE in market capitalization. Their findings? A whopping 79% of the 
total participants believe that Shiba Inu will never flip Dogecoin in the area 
of market capitalization. Related Reading: Crypto Holders Beware! New Malware 
Drains ETH, SOL, XRP Wallets Survey Reports Overwhelming Consensus Against 
SHIB Flipping DOGE The results point to a distinct stance by the majority of 
experts. A mere 7% of those polled showed confidence that SHIB would at some 
point in the future surpass DOGE, and these few stalwarts predicted it could 
occur as soon as 2026. The other 14% were uncertain about SHIB&#8217;s fate. The 
overwhelming rejection of Shiba Inu&#8217;s ability to replace DOGE as the leading 
meme coin mirrors wider market opinion regarding the two tokens. Supply Issues 
Present Major Hurdle For Shiba Inu Huge challenges in the SHIB token supply 
are one potential consideration preventing overtaking Dogecoin, Dr. Sathvik 
Vishwanath, Unnocoin&#8217;s jurisdictional head, disclosed. Consider the 
circulating supply of SHIB at 589.25 trillion versus just 148.82 billion for 
DOGE: the supply gap is massive. Vishwanath said that despite Shiba Inu&#8217;s 
excellent tokenomics and solid community support, the massive token supply 
keeps SHIB from taking over DOGE&#8217;s market cap. Huge Disparity In Current 
Market Position At present, Dogecoin is at the eighth position among cryptos 
with a market cap of $24.60 billion, while Shiba Inu holds 17th place with a 
market capitalization of $7.3 billion. SHIB would have to increase its worth 
by 240% to reach DOGE&#8217;s current rank by assuming that Dogecoin&#8217;s price remains 
constant, and both tokens share the same circulating supply. Related Reading:

Suggests Possible Turnaround Contrary to the negative expectations of 
analysts, new trading statistics show a significant Shiba Inu rise. According 
to IntoTheBlock, with whales dominating, SHIB daily trade volume rose to 224 
billion tokens in 24 hours. Inflows from large-holders increased from 96 
billion SHIB on April 13 to over 224 billion on April 14. This rise in 
interest from major investors could be a sign of changing sentiment as whales 
will set up before they anticipate a move in prices. This isn&#8217;t the first time 
these cryptocurrencies have seen conflicts regarding superiority. In 2021, 
Shiba Inu briefly dethroned Dogecoin when its market cap touched $39 billion. 
Alas, this victory was short-lived as DOGE quickly reclaimed the title of the 
number one meme coin. Featured image from Pixabay, chart from TradingView

PEPE&#8217;s price action has been relatively quiet in the past few weeks. The meme 
coin has been quietly going through a continued wave of selloffs amidst the 
volatility in the wider crypto market. However, an interesting technical 
analysis shows that the chart structure of PEPEUSDT is pointing to a massive 
move to the upside, one that could send the token soaring by as much as 796% 
before the end of 2025. As the broader crypto market continues to move 
sideways, crypto analyst MasterAnanda identified a short-term higher low 
forming around support levels, which could act as the launchpad for a major 
PEPE price breakout. Short-Term Higher Low Points To Strong Accumulation Zone 
The bullish outlook on PEPE is based on the repeat of a similar price 
formation that played out in 2024 before its run to new price highs and 
eventually its current all-time high of $0.00002803. According to the price 
chart shared by the analyst on the TradingView platform, PEPE initially traded 
in a descending channel between May to September 2024 before eventually 
breaking out of the channel. After breaking out of the channel, PEPE went on a 
brief uptrend and another downside which led to the creation of a lower low, 
before eventually going on an extended rally that peaked in December 2024.

Crash Notably, it seems the same structure is showing up again on the PEPE 
price chart, specifically on the daily candlestick timeframe. In the analysis, 
MasterAnanda marks April as the period where PEPE bottomed out within a 
descending channel. Since then, two distinct highs and two clear lows have 
shaped what appears to be a reversal structure. Most notably, a new higher low 
is beginning to form a pattern that, according to previous price action, could 
precede a bullish wave. The analyst labels this as a important stage, 
especially for spot traders who are positioning for long-term growth. Although 
there could be weakness in the short term, which could result in one last 
shakeout or another downside wick, the analyst noted that this shouldn’t worry 
spot investors. It may offer a final opportunity to accumulate before momentum 
builds toward a new cycle high. On the other hand, leveraged traders are 
advised to proceed with caution and risk management, given the potential 
volatility during the build-up to the breakout. Fibonacci Levels Show 480% To 
796% Rally Target The chart highlights a significant confluence around 
Fibonacci extension levels, with the 1.618 Fib level suggesting a possible 
480% move and the more ambitious 2.618 extension pointing to a 796% upside. 
Interestingly, MasterAnanda noted that the numbers are huge. Related Reading:

ATHs Although these targets are just projections, they align with the previous 
rally seen in late 2024. If this prediction structure holds, the next rally 
could push PEPE beyond the 1.618 Fib level at $0.0004264, surpassing all prior 
highs and printing a new all-time high in 2025. At the time of writing, PEPE 
is trading at $0.00000708, down by 4.7% in the past 24 hours. Featured image
