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.
Market overview
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.
Technical analysis
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.
Price action summary
- 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.
What traders should watch
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.
