Dogecoin (DOGE) and Shiba Inu (SHIB), the top dog-themed meme coins, are consolidating at key support levels after last week’s big move. Derivatives data shows continued buying interest, so maybe another leg up.

According to CoinGlass, Dogecoin’s Open Interest (OI) in futures went from $2.73B on Thursday to $5.35B on Tuesday—its highest since January 20. Shiba Inu followed a similar path, with OI going from $215.87M to $328.49M over the same period. Open Interest is the total number of outstanding derivative contracts and rising OI means more capital is flowing in and more traders are getting long.

Key stats over the last 5 days:

  • DOGE OI: $2.73B → $5.35B (+96%)
  • SHIB OI: $215.87M → $328.49M (+52%)
  • Funding Rates:
    • DOGE: 0.033%
    • SHIB: 0.023%

These rising funding rates—longs are paying shorts—back up the bullish case as traders are betting on higher prices.
