SHIB and PENGU are both down; the difference is in the magnitude, not the direction.
As of 10:20 Beijing time, over the past 24 hours, SHIB is down 0.864% and PENGU is down 5.047%, a gap of 4.183 percentage points. First, classify it: this isn’t a disagreement in direction where one rises and the other falls; it’s a layering of the declines within the same downward trend. Use the difference in percentage points—not the multiple of drawdowns. When SHIB’s decline is close to zero, the multiplier exaggerates the disparity. PENGU is weaker in this window, but that doesn’t mean it’s more worth buying; likewise, SHIB being down less doesn’t make it any safer.
Next time you check these two, first note whether you see one up and the other down. If they’re still both declining, then verify whether the 4.183 percentage-point gap is narrowing or widening.
