Shiba Inu price can rise by nearly 150% versus its top meme-coin rival, Dogecoin, in the coming months, based on a technical fractal.
⠀
SHIB hits record low against DOGE
⠀
The bullish setup appears as the SHIB/DOGE pair rebounded slightly after dropping to 0.0000841 — its lowest level ever — on Nov. 1. The price level coincided with a descending trendline that has served as strong support for the pair since November 2021.
⠀
For instance, Shiba Inu’s previous drop to the said trendline occurred in May 2022, which preceded a 100% recovery rally in the next three months. Similarly, in January 2022, the SHIB/DOGE pair rebounded by more than 50% in less than a month.
⠀
Interestingly, all the SHIB/DOGE’s rebound moves reached the 0.0002186-0.0002536 range as their primary upside targets. This area coincides with the pair’s 0.786-1 Fib line range, derived from the Fibonacci retracement graph drawn from the 0.0002536 swing high to the 0.0000899 swing low, as shown in the chart below.

⠀
Therefore, SHIB could once again see a sharp bullish reversal versus DOGE if history repeats, with the upside target in the 0.0002186-0.0002536 range. In other words, at least a 150% price rally by Q1 2023.
⠀
In addition, the pair’s daily relative strength index (RSI) signals extreme oversold conditions after dropping to its lowest levels in history, suggesting that a rebound is likely in the near future.
⠀
SHIB price risks more losses in USD pair
⠀
More cues about an imminent SHIB/DOGE pair rally come from these meme-coins’ individual performances versus the U.S. dollar.
⠀
Notably, Dogecoin price rallied by more than 100% versus the dollar in October as traders assessed the its potential to become an integral part of Twitter after Elon Musk’s takeover of the social media giant.

⠀
This pushed DOGE’s daily RSI over 95 in late October, the most overbought since April 2021. The coin remains technically overbought as of Nov. 3, hinting at a potential price correction in the coming days.
⠀
In other words, Dogecoin could drop toward $0.055, or 60% from current price levels, by the end of 2022, as previously reported.
⠀
On the other hand, Shiba Inu closed October with a 10.5% profit, and as of Nov. 3, its RSI is in the neutral 30-70 zone, suggesting lower sell-side pressure compared to DOGE.
⠀
Nevertheless, the SHIB/USDT pair still risks a 10%-15% short-term price correction to $0.00001088 based on its recent fluctuations inside an ascending triangle range, as shown below.

⠀
Meanwhile, a break below $0.00001088 risks triggering an ascending triangle breakdown. Such breakdowns during a downtrend typically send the price lower by as much as the pattern's maximum height.
⠀
Therefore, Shiba Inu's price is in danger of crashing to $0.00000682 should a decisive breakdown occur, a 45% correction by Q1.
