Dogecoin has entered a fresh decline phase after struggling to break through the $0.2550 resistance zone. The meme coin dropped below key support levels at $0.2420 and $0.2400 before hitting a low of $0.2157.
The price now trades below the $0.240 level and the 100-hourly simple moving average. Bears pushed DOGE below the $0.2200 support level during the recent selloff.
A connecting bullish trend line has formed with support at $0.2230 on the hourly chart. The price showed minor recovery above the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement level from the $0.2542 high to the $0.2157 low.
Current resistance sits near $0.230, with the first major hurdle at $0.2350. This level aligns with the 50% Fibonacci retracement of the recent downward move.
The next resistance zone appears at $0.2420. A break above this level could send DOGE toward $0.2550 resistance and potentially $0.2640.
Futures Market Activity Increases
Market data shows Dogecoin open interest jumped 5.24% to $1.3 billion in 24 hours through perpetual contracts only. This surge indicates growing trader interest in DOGE price movements.
The entire $1.3 billion open interest comes from perpetual contracts. This suggests short-term speculators dominate the current market activity for Dogecoin.
Binance leads the open interest distribution with $581 million. Bybit follows with $410 million, while OKX holds $244 million in open positions.
The concentration of trading activity on these major exchanges shows where most DOGE speculation occurs. Huobi, BitMEX, and Kraken maintain smaller portions of the total open interest.
Exchange Flows Show Mixed Signals
Trading volume data reveals Binance processed $18.57 million in DOGE activity over four hours. OKX recorded $10.97 million during the same period.
Net inflow patterns show OKX attracted $1.33 million in new money. Coinbase followed with $1.25 million in net inflows over the four-hour window.
Other major exchanges like Binance and Kraken saw minimal net inflows during this timeframe. The flow patterns suggest selective platform preference among traders.
Technical indicators show bearish momentum building. The hourly MACD gains momentum in the bearish zone while RSI trades below 50.
If DOGE fails to break above $0.2350, another decline could target $0.220 support and the trend line. The main support level sits at $0.2120.
A break below $0.2120 could push prices toward $0.20 or even $0.1840 in the near term. The volume of leveraged positions will influence whether the open interest surge leads to gains or losses.
Current consolidation occurs near the $0.2157 low with resistance at multiple levels above. Open interest growth of 5% suggests traders expect price volatility ahead.
