Dogecoin consolidates amid renewed institutional interest
The cryptocurrency market is bearish on Monday after the poor performance recorded on Sunday. Bitcoin is trading below $71,000, while Ether risks dropping below $2,100 if the bearish trend persists. Meanwhile, Dogecoin, the leading memecoin by market cap, is holding steady around $0.09000 at press time on Monday, after losing over 2% on the previous day. The consolidating performance comes as institutional demand for Dogecoin surged on Friday, with its largest inflow ever. The leverage market also shows mixed sentiment, while the momentum indicators lean bearish as DOGE tapers within a descending triangle pattern. Institutional demand for Dogecoin returns Sentiment toward Dogecoin is mixed due to the ongoing US-Iran conflict over control of the Strait of Hormuz. On Friday, DOGE-focused Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) recorded $1.34 million in inflows, marking their largest inflow ever after 18 consecutive days of zero net flows. The return of institutional interest marks its fifth daily inflow since inception and solidifies near-term confidence. However, derivatives data show mixed sentiment among leveraged traders in the market. CoinGlass data shows DOGE futures Open Interest (OI) stands at $1.18 billion, rising over 1% in the last 24 hours, indicating an increase in the notional value of outstanding DOGE contracts. Meanwhile, the bulls have yet to take full control of the market as the OI-weighted funding rate fluctuates around the zero line. Currently, the DOGE funding rate is positive at 0.0029%, suggesting a near-term bullish bias. Technical outlook: Will DOGE rally above $0.1? Similar to other major cryptocurrencies, the DOGE/USD 4-hour chart remains bearish and efficient. DOGE’s price has been consolidating over the past few days, trading between the $0.09779 and $0.08810 regions since March 28. At press time, DOGE is trading below the 50-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) at $0.0957, capping the upward movement in the near term. The bottom support of the triangle pattern aligns with the February 11 low at $0.0879. If the daily candle closes below this crucial support, it could threaten the February 6 low at $0.0800. On the flip side, the 100-day EMA at $0.1074 and the 200-day EMA at $0.1295 reinforce a broader downbeat structure. The momentum indicators suggest that the buyers are slowly regaining control of the market. The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator hovers marginally in positive territory, and the Relative Strength Index (RSI) around 45 suggests only modest downside pressure rather than a strong recovery impulse. If the bulls regain control, they would encounter immediate resistance at the 50-day EMA near $0.0957. A daily candle close above this level would be needed to ease the current bearish pressure and open the way toward the 100-day EMA at $0.1074. An extended bullish scenario could play out in the medium term and allow DOGE to rally towards the 200-day EMA at $0.1295. The ongoing conflict in the Middle East will continue to affect the broader crypto market in the near to medium term.

XRP ETFs record strongest weekly inflows in 2 months
The institutional appetite for XRP through United States spot exchange-traded funds ( ETFs ) rebounded strongly last week. The U.S. spot XRP ETFs posted a total cash inflow of $11.75 million last week, the highest since the first week of February 2026, according to metrics from SoSoValue .

Additionally, the Franklin XRP ETF (XRPZ) reported inflows of $2.90 million last week, its largest since the last week of February. Meanwhile, the 21Shares XRP ETF ( TOXR ) continued its weekly outflow, with investors selling $661.16k worth of its shares last week, thereby reducing its net assets to approximately $142 million at the time of publication.

As a result, the token’s market capitalization declined to roughly $81.3 billion at the time of reporting. XRP/USD 7-day performance. Source: Finbold The most likely contributor to XRP’s price decline amid a notable demand from institutional investors is significant retail capitulation, as Finbold previously reported . Moreover, the broader macroeconomic and near-term market uncertainty has pushed fear, uncertainty, and doubt (FUD) metrics to historically elevated levels. If U.S. spot ETFs maintain their current trajectory of positive weekly inflows, XRP could be positioned for a bullish recovery in the near term. This outlook is especially likely if the token clears the near-term resistance range between $1.38 and $1.40. The post XRP ETFs record strongest weekly inflows in 2 months appeared first on Finbold .

Shiba Inu nears top 30 exit as market competition intensifies
Shiba Inu continues to face growing pressure in the global crypto market. The token struggles to maintain its position amid rising competition from alternative digital assets. Market rankings now show tighter gaps between several mid-cap cryptocurrencies. Investor attention shifts as performance differences narrow across the sector. Shiba Inu holds 29th rank as rivals close in Shiba Inu ranks 29th in the global cryptocurrency market with a market cap of about $3.39 billion. Cronos (CRO) follows closely in 30th position with a valuation of roughly $2.89 billion. Market data shows a small gap between the two assets, increasing the risk of ranking changes. Above SHIB, Toncoin holds 28th place with a market cap of $3.5 billion. Sui sits in 27th position at around $3.57 billion. Hedera occupies 26th place with an estimated valuation of $3.69 billion. These close valuations keep pressure on Shiba Inu's ranking stability. SHIB must sustain upward momentum to avoid slipping further. A stronger rally could help it maintain a top-30 position. However, stagnant price action across competing assets could also quickly shift rankings. The crypto market cap structure continues to show tight competition across mid-tier tokens. SHIB price performance weakens amid ecosystem concerns Shiba Inu price performance reflects sustained weakness in 2026 trading. SHIB has dropped 15.93% year-to-date, moving from $0.000006904 to about $0.000005804. The token also fell 2.3% over the past month and 3.57% over the last week. At the time of writing, SHIB traded at $0.00000609, up 6.01% over 24 hours. Market sentiment remains under pressure amid ongoing declines. Shiba Inu launched in August 2020 and surged during the 2021 meme coin rally. It previously entered the top 10 cryptocurrencies and briefly surpassed Dogecoin. The token reached an all-time high of $0.00008845 during the 2021 cycle. Since then, SHIB has lost momentum as investor focus shifted toward utility-driven projects. Lead developer Shytoshi Kusama has hinted at upcoming developments that could push SHIB toward the top five. However, those expectations remain unrealized in current market conditions. Critics point to weakening ecosystem growth as a key concern. Projects such as Shib, the Metaverse, and the NFT marketplace have stalled. Community engagement has also declined compared to earlier cycles. Shiba Inu burn activity remains limited despite ongoing supply reduction efforts. The community burned 6.33 million SHIB in the past 24 hours. This figure remains small against a circulating supply of 589.16 trillion tokens. As a result, market participants continue to debate SHIB’s long-term recovery potential.
