Shiba Inu Slumps as AlphaPepe Chases Meme Coin Breakout

Shiba Inu (SHIB) is facing downward pressure after falling 5.2% in recent trading, with its price hovering around $0.0000051. Despite retaining a market capitalization of approximately $3 billion, the token has dropped roughly 94% from its historic peak.

The Shiba Inu price prediction now depends on whether buyers can rebuild momentum around current levels. Technical forecasts suggest that bulls need to recover the $0.000006 level before facing resistance at $0.0000067 and $0.0000078 if stronger meme coin demand returns.

Meanwhile, AlphaPepe (ALPE) is attempting to capture the attention of meme coin buyers after raising $2.54 million in its presale stage. The token's price remains at $0.02845, with a listing price starting from $0.08. AlphaPepe plans to close its presale and launch on a DEX in Q1 2027.

AlphaPepe has secured three CEX partnerships and is expected to reveal its fourth exchange partner on August 31. The token's ecosystem includes AlphaSwap, which offers AI-focused DEX intelligence, as well as AlphaRank, USDT reward pools, and AlphaPalace.
