  • Dogecoin fell 1.8% as sellers regained control, with price drifting toward the lower end of its recent range.
  • Trading volume surged to 721 million tokens, indicating active repositioning rather than thin price movement.
  • DOGE lost support near $0.1320, confirming a bearish short-term bias as it failed to sustain gains above $0.135.

Dogecoin edged lower during Sunday’s session after failing to hold short-term support, with elevated volume suggesting sellers are regaining control as price drifts toward the lower end of its recent range.

DOGE fell about 1.8% over the past 24 hours, sliding from an intraday high near $0.1341 to trade around $0.1323. The move followed a failed recovery attempt above $0.135, where selling pressure re-emerged and capped upside momentum.

Trading activity picked up notably during the decline. Volume rose to roughly 721 million tokens around the session peak, about 150% above the 24-hour average, indicating active repositioning rather than thin, low-liquidity price movement.

The key technical development was DOGE’s loss of support near $0.1320, a level that had held during several prior pullbacks. Once that area gave way, price drifted toward session lows with limited follow-through buying.

On intraday charts, DOGE also slipped below the lower boundary of a short-term ascending channel, confirming a shift away from the modest recovery structure that had formed late last week. The rejection near $0.1352 established a lower high, reinforcing the bearish short-term bias.

  • DOGE failed to sustain gains above $0.135, meeting selling interest at resistance
  • Volume expanded sharply during the rejection, pointing to distribution
  • Price slipped below $0.1320, a level that had acted as near-term support
  • Late-session trade stabilized near $0.1323, but without a strong rebound

Overall, price action reflected controlled selling rather than panic, though momentum remains tilted lower.

With $0.1320 now acting as overhead resistance, attention shifts to whether DOGE can stabilize above the next demand area near $0.1280–$0.1290. That zone aligns with prior consolidation and could attract dip-buying interest if selling pressure eases.

On the upside, DOGE would need to reclaim $0.1320 and then $0.1350 to neutralize the current bearish structure. Until then, rallies are likely to face supply from traders looking to exit positions on strength.

For now, DOGE remains in a fragile technical position, with price action suggesting a consolidation-to-lower pattern rather than a confirmed reversal.

2025 was defined by a stark divergence: structural progress collided with stagnant price action. Institutional milestones were reached and TVL increased across most major ecosystems, yet the majority of large-cap Layer-1 tokens finished the year with negative or flat returns.

Data from CoinGlass shows bitcoin is down more than 22% so far in the fourth quarter, making 2025 one of the weakest year-end periods outside of major bear markets.

What to know:

  • Bitcoin’s price is nearing $90,000, offering a short-term boost to the crypto market, but analysts remain cautious about a significant recovery.
  • The total crypto market capitalization has surpassed $3 trillion, yet analysts warn that the rebound may be driven by exhaustion rather than renewed confidence.
