Price Action Summary

The token traded inside a compressed $0.007 range, reflecting 3% volatility. Afternoon turnover spiked above 400M tokens — nearly double average levels. In the final hour, DOGE rose from $0.233 to $0.234, with a 15.3M surge accompanying a breakout attempt at 7:32 AM.

Technical Analysis

Support has been validated at $0.229–$0.230, where multiple defenses held against sell pressure. Resistance hardened at $0.234, with rejection prints capping rallies.
The tight corridor suggests controlled price discovery dominated by institutional desks, rather than retail-driven volatility.
While the late breakout shows momentum, strength above $0.234 is required to confirm continuation toward $0.240.

What Traders Are Watching?

  • Whether DOGE can close decisively above $0.234 to flip resistance.
  • If institutional inflows sustain volumes above daily averages.
  • Broader CD20 index reaction to DOGE’s relative resilience.
  • Potential retest of $0.240 should $0.229–$0.230 support remain intact through U.S. hours
