Dogecoin (DOGE) is currently fighting to reclaim the psychological $0.10 price level, trading around $0.1012 after an 8% daily gain for DOGE USD. Traders are closely monitoring this breakout zone, as the leading memecoin tests support levels not seen since the sharp declines of early February.

However, with broader market sentiment remaining cautious and Bitcoin continuing to test lower, the key question is whether this price action represents a legitimate floor or a liquidity trap before further downside.
What Do Technical Indicators Signal for DOGE Price?
While crypto Twitter is getting excited, the technical structure on the 4-hour chart remains predominantly bearish on the long-time frame, despite the recent flicker of green, which teases a breakout.

So far, it seems DOGE is sustaining momentum and finding feet above the long-term downtrend, cementing a foothold around the psychological price level at $0.10. Fibonacci analysis identifies stiff resistance zones at $0.0989 and $0.1040, which have capped recent upside attempts.
However, short-term momentum indicators suggest any bounce is limited for now. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) has surged back to 72.5, a significant bearish signal, indicating overbought buying conditions.
On-Chain Metrics Confirm Weakening Momentum For DOGE
While price action looks choppy, on-chain data provides clarity on where the “smart money” is positioned. Recent liquidation heatmaps suggest a cluster of short positions sits near the $0.11 level.

Market makers frequently push price action toward these liquidity pools to trigger short squeezes before trend reversals. This aligns with reports that DOGE whales are accumulating for a potential reversal, absorbing sell pressure near the $0.09 floor.
Despite this accumulation, the broader liquidity landscape is concerning. Recent market data highlights that over $2 million in long positions were liquidated earlier this month, flushing leverage out of the system. This comes as Dogecoin hits multi-month lows where liquidity weakens, making the asset more volatile and susceptible to sharp moves driven by lower volume.

The sluggish performance of Dogecoin is not an isolated event. The wider sector is struggling, with declines in meme momentum affecting Shiba Inu and Pepe similarly.
Market sentiment is deeply pessimistic, often a contrarian signal for savvy traders looking for entry points. Industry experts note that while the current “crypto winter” may extend, historical cycles suggest DOGE is often the first to rally when sector rotation occurs.
However, without a significant catalyst, demand metrics such as On-Balance Volume suggest that retail interest is currently dormant.
For bulls to regain control, DOGE needs to decisively reclaim $0.105 and close the week above the 50-day EMA. Reclaiming a foothold above the $0.11 liquidity zone would validate the reversal thesis.
Conversely, if the $0.0885 support crumbles, analysts predict a “trapdoor” scenario could open, targeting a slide toward $0.080. Traders should keep tight stops given the volatility expected in the coming days.
