Bitcoin continues its ascent, recently hitting a new yearly high at $42,384. Here's a look at the market situation for the alternative coins Dogecoin (DOGE) and Shiba Inu (SHIB) as of Tuesday, December 5.

Dogecoin (DOGE)

Dogecoin, maintaining a high correlation with Bitcoin, is also experiencing an upward trend. Since October 15, DOGE has increased by 70%, marking a new annual high at $0.0925.

With Bitcoin's ongoing positive trend, the growth of DOGE is also expected to continue. The next targets for buyers are set at $0.094, $0.097, and the significant $0.100 level. These targets may be tested as soon as the coming week.

If a market correction occurs, DOGE’s price could drop back to support areas around $0.086-$0.088, $0.0821-$0.0841, and $0.0800. However, if Bitcoin sharply falls below $39,000, DOGE might swiftly break through these support levels, suggesting that setting limit orders at this time might be risky.

Shiba Inu (SHIB)

In comparison to other altcoins, SHIB has shown a less pronounced upward trend. Since October 15, the asset has gained 40%, but its chart is marked by frequent corrective movements, preventing SHIB from reaching new highs.

Currently, the asset is trading within a consolidation range, trapped between a support zone of $0.0000085-$0.0000088 and a resistance zone of $0.00000928-$0.00000964. Should the upward trend persist, SHIB could potentially reach local highs at $0.00000981 and even $0.00001. To attain its 2023 high, the asset needs to increase by an additional 75%, leaving room for considerable growth.

Any corrective patterns in BTC could similarly impact SHIB. In this case, the memecoin might drop below its present support zone, potentially testing levels of $0.00000830 and $0.00000772-$0.00000805. Similar to the situation with DOGE, using limit orders for SHIB currently poses a significant risk.
