DOGE Holds $0.16 Support as Profit-Taking Caps Upside
November 6, 2025
Dogecoin (DOGE) slipped 0.5% to $0.1657 on Wednesday, defending $0.16 support amid profit-taking near resistance. The token preserved a neutral-to-bullish short-term bias, maintaining its ascending channel despite distribution pressure at the upper boundary.
Market Dynamics
Institutional activity continues to guide DOGE’s intraday moves. Large holders accumulated near $0.1620 earlier in the week and trimmed exposure as bids thinned near $0.1670. Tuesday’s breakout on 774M volume confirmed that smart-money flows, rather than retail speculation, drove price action.
In the wider meme-coin market, sentiment remained muted, though DOGE futures open interest on Binance and Bybit rose modestly, signaling hedging activity rather than aggressive risk-taking. Analysts note that holding above $0.16 reflects disciplined profit rotation, not trend exhaustion.
