Trader Notes: In an X post on June 16, MaxBecauseBTC described Dogecoin as the "Bitcoin of meme coins," emphasizing its role as a trendsetter for the broader meme coin sector.

According to him, the DOGE/MEME.C-DOGE pair functions like BTC dominance in the meme ecosystem. A breakdown in this chart typically signals strength in smaller cap meme coins, potentially setting the stage for a sharp alt-meme rally.

Meanwhile, InvestingHaven flagged $0.17 as Dogecoin's key short-term support. Although the RSI indicates oversold conditions, weak momentum may keep prices range-bound. He sees a potential swing either up to $0.25 or down to $0.15, depending on whether support holds.

MrHans, an analyst on TradingView, noted that Shiba Inu is hovering near key support, and if it holds, a reversal toward $0.000021–$0.000024 is possible. However, any breakdown below $0.00001054 would invalidate the bullish setup.

Statistics: Shiba Inu burn rate surged 725% in 24 hours, with 17.7 million SHIB destroyed. One large burn eliminated 14.3 million SHIB in a single transaction. The seven-day burn rate has now jumped 1,501.2%, suggesting rising community activity and reduced supply.
