$DOGE fell 5.36% while $SHIB lost 3.67% in Binance's rolling daily snapshot. SHIB held up better, but both were down.
That distinction matters when comparing meme coins: losing less is relative strength, not a positive return. Picking the smaller decline still leaves you exposed to a falling market.
For a comparison worth watching, check whether SHIB keeps outperforming when prices recover, rather than judging only this selloff. A lead that disappears on the rebound is weaker evidence of lasting demand.
The downside risk: SHIB can catch up with DOGE's losses if selling spreads, quickly erasing its apparent advantage.
