The Dogecoin price has spent days stuck between $0.24 and $0.27, dodging both sharp crashes and meaningful rallies. In the past week, it’s down 2.9%, while over the last month, it’s up just 4.2% — a neutral stretch that shows how evenly matched buyers and sellers are.
But this balance isn’t random. On-chain data shows heavy supply clusters keeping Dogecoin boxed in, while leverage data confirms that neither side has enough momentum to break the deadlock.
Supply Density Explains Why Dogecoin Price Is Stuck
Glassnode’s cost basis distribution heatmap — which visualizes how much supply exists across price levels — highlights why the Dogecoin price has avoided big swings.
Between $0.247–$0.249 (at press time), roughly 1.89 billion DOGE sit, creating a thick cushion that protects against deeper declines, especially under $0.24.

Above that, resistance zones are equally packed: between $0.261–$0.262, there’s around 1.39 billion DOGE, and another 1.27 billion DOGE between $0.262–$0.264. These clusters specifically cushion the $0.27 level.

This tight layering of supply has made the Dogecoin price resilient to sharp drops but also unable to rally above $0.26-$0.27 meaningfully. It’s like a wall above and a floor below, trapping the price in a narrow corridor.
Derivatives data support this balance. According to the Bitget DOGE/USDT liquidation map alone, long positions total $304 million, while shorts are close behind at $331 million. With both sides almost even, there’s no leverage imbalance to force a squeeze or trend extension.

Together, the heatmap and derivatives data explain why Dogecoin keeps dodging both crashes and rallies — there’s too much resistance to rise and too much support to fall.
One Key Chart Pattern Hints at a 20% Rebound
On the 4-hour chart, the Dogecoin price is now showing a familiar setup — a bullish divergence. This pattern forms when price makes a lower low, but the Relative Strength Index (RSI) — which measures market momentum between 0 and 100 — makes a higher low. It signals that sellers are losing strength even if the price hasn’t yet reacted.
Between October 8 and 9, this divergence appeared again. The last time it showed up, between September 22 and 26, Dogecoin rallied 20%, jumping from $0.22 to $0.26.
Dogecoin Price Pattern: TradingView
A similar 20% move now could lift DOGE from its current range to near $0.29, allowing it to breach the heavy supply bands between $0.26–$0.27. Breaking through those zones could finally kickstart a short-term uptrend.
Symmetrical Triangle Still Defines The Next DOGE Price Move
On the daily chart, the DOGE price continues to trade inside a symmetrical triangle, a structure that forms when both buyers and sellers keep price action tightly contained. This pattern reflects indecision — a setup that typically precedes a strong breakout once either side gains control.
Dogecoin (DOGE) Price Analysis: TradingView
For bulls, a close above $0.27–$0.29 could confirm an upside breakout (now possible with bullish divergence flashing on the 4-hour chart), signaling the start of a short rally. For bears, a daily candle close below $0.24 would invalidate the bullishness and open the door for a deeper correction. A dip under $0.22 would turn the structure bearish.
Until then, the Dogecoin price remains in a careful balance — dodging both crashes and rallies for one clear reason: supply/ sentiment remain too evenly matched for now, but one 20% move could finally tip the scales.
