Dogecoin (DOGE) is currently testing investor confidence as the memecoin hovers near a key psychological level. After weeks of sideways trading, the DOGE price has slipped roughly 3% over the past 24 hours, leaving traders focused on whether support around $0.098 can hold or open the door to deeper losses. Related Reading: After Extreme Pessimism, Crypto Market Conditions Begin To Stabilize: Analysts The token is currently trading around the $0.099 mark, a level that has repeatedly acted as both support and resistance throughout February. While the broader crypto market remains cautious, the DOGE price behavior suggests a market caught between weakening momentum and attempts to establish a short-term base. DOGE's price trends to the downside on the daily chart. Source: DOGEUSD on Tradingview Technical Signals Point to Fragile Support Recent DOGE price action shows it consolidating within a narrow range after failing to sustain moves above nearby resistance zones. Multiple exponential moving averages between roughly $0.102 and $0.111 continue to cap upside, indicating sellers remain in control of the broader trend. Momentum indicators also reflect uncertainty. The RSI has moved toward neutral territory after earlier signs of oversold conditions, suggesting buying pressure is fading rather than strengthening. Analysts note that DOGE remains below its longer-term trend indicators, including the 200-day and 200-EMA levels, which typically signal bearish market structure when price trades underneath them. Immediate support sits near $0.098, a level closely watched by traders. A decisive break below this threshold could expose the $0.090–$0.088 region, with some forecasts pointing toward a possible retest of the yearly low near $0.08 if selling accelerates. Adding to the cautious outlook, a recent weekly “bearish cross”, where shorter-term moving averages fall below longer-term ones, has historically coincided with extended consolidation or downside phases for Dogecoin. Market Sentiment and Liquidity Remain Key Drivers Despite the decline, trading activity suggests gradual distribution rather than panic selling. Volume remains close to its monthly average, indicating traders are reducing exposure cautiously instead of exiting aggressively. Dogecoin’s performance continues to track broader crypto sentiment. With Bitcoin moving sideways and overall risk appetite subdued, meme coins have struggled to attract sustained inflows. Liquidation heatmaps show clusters of leveraged positions below current price levels, raising the risk of cascading moves if support fails. At the same time, DOGE’s large community and history of sentiment-driven rallies keep traders alert to sudden reversals triggered by social media activity or broader market recovery. What Comes Next for Dogecoin Dogecoin currently appears locked in a transitional phase. Holding above $0.10 could allow consolidation to continue and potentially form a base for recovery. However, a confirmed breakdown below $0.098 would likely reinforce bearish momentum and shift focus toward lower support zones.

Dogecoin might be trading at $0.1, but is already flashing signs of a structural change on the daily timeframe after weeks of downward pressure. After spending much of the past month trading beneath a descending resistance line, the leading meme coin has now broken above that trendline in what one analyst describes as textbook bullish price action. The analysis, shared on X by crypto analyst Trader Tardigrade, pointed to a breakout and successful retest that could set the stage for a stronger move for the price of Dogecoin. Breakout Above The Descending Trendline According to Trader Tardigrade, Dogecoin has officially broken above a descending trendline that had been stopping its price action into a series of lower highs since the middle of January. The daily candlestick chart attached to the technical analysis posted on X shows a clearly defined downward-sloping resistance line, with multiple lower highs forming along the way. Related Reading: What The Dogecoin Recovery From This Accumulation Zone Means For The Price The breakout occurred after Dogecoin had gradually compressed toward the lower end of the pattern. A strong bullish candle pushed the price through the descending resistance when the Dogecoin price broke above $0.1. This was the first sign that sellers were no longer in control at that level. Descending triangles and descending trendlines are a reflection of sustained selling pressure. When price decisively breaks above such structures, it can indicate a change in market sentiment, especially if accompanied by strong follow-through candles. Keeping this in mind, the important part of the setup is not just the breakout, but what happened afterward. Trader Tardigrade pointed out that Dogecoin pulled back to retest the broken trendline. Instead of falling back below it, the price respected the level and held firm. The retest area is around the $0.10-$0.102 range on the chart, and former resistance now appears to have transformed into support. Here’s The Next Stop For DOGE This type of move is referred to as a “resistance-turned-support” confirmation. When a previously restrictive level becomes a base for buyers, it strengthens the bullish case and reduces the probability of a false breakout. The analyst described this as a confirmation of textbook bullish price action. Related Reading: Dogecoin Price Momentum Oscillator Drops To Levels That Triggered Previous 21,000% Rally If Dogecoin maintains support above the broken trendline, the next logical upside target is at the most recent swing high around $0.115 to $0.12. That region previously acted as rejection territory in late January before Dogecoin resumed its decline, making it the first major resistance overhead. The chart projection shared by the analyst suggests the possibility of a continued rally to the mid-$0.13 to $0.15 range if momentum continues. A sustained move above $0.12 would likely draw additional attention from short-term traders watching for confirmation of a trend reversal. At the time of writing, Dogecoin is trading at the reclaimed $0.10 price level. Featured Image from Pngtree, chart from Tradingview.com
