DOGE Dips to $0.20 Amid Market Sell-Off, Early Signs of Support Emerging
Dogecoin (DOGE) dropped 5% from $0.21 to $0.20 as broader crypto markets reacted to renewed U.S.–China tariff tensions. President Trump’s proposed 100% tariff plan wiped roughly $19 billion from crypto valuations, triggering forced liquidations across major tokens.
Despite the pullback, institutional desks report accumulation interest near $0.20, with derivatives open interest resetting to levels last seen in mid-September. The House of Doge’s $50M Nasdaq debut via Brag House Holdings continues to underpin the long-term institutional narrative, although short-term flows remain cautious.

Technical Overview

- Resistance: $0.21–$0.214, capped by morning reversal volume.
- DOGE remains under the 200-day moving average, highlighting short-term vulnerability, but volume contraction and stable bids at $0.20 indicate potential base formation.

- Momentum indicators remain oversold, and derivative funding turned sharply negative on Binance and OKX, often a precursor to short-covering rallies.
